Well, but I'm not dead from the lunch, Lee
So that's pretty cool
Yeah, how about that? Wow? Wow? What a day, huh?
Yeah
What came we playing today nothing we fucking around all day probably I played a little bit of wukong last night and
I fell asleep man. I fell asleep at like 1 30 like even earlier than I slept real real early
early and that's why we're on a bit earlier today which I'm actually so glad
about because you know the day before I step to like 4 a.m. I'm like that shit is
oh that's not good at all so yeah I'm a common talking show and stream now yeah
I never see him do the DLC for Alvin Reim which is interesting I wonder why
maybe maybe he's not good enough for it that's probably what it is he's
probably just not good enough for the game but that's fine you know like not
everybody can be and you tried Super Ring yet no I haven't I have no idea
How the lunch was feeling it was fine like as I said, I thought the pizza was good
I really did I was surprised how good the pizza was but
The fucking turkey and like the nachos
Fucking turkey mid at best nachos literally one for one lunchable. So it's the same thing. So yeah
That's it. He's using a level-on weapon. Yeah
Not everyone can handle the DLC. It's okay. Yeah. Yeah, it's just the way it is. How's your stomach stomachs fine?
Um, uh, you, you realize like your guys actually thought I was gonna get sick
You realize I've I've eaten like bug poison before right?
Like I
Don't like
Unless I get like some weird food poisoning like I don't get sick
But when the fuck do I ever get sick, bro? Like no it doesn't happen
So no, it's not a thing like I can go and I can eat a you know
like drink a whole large milkshake, nine in the morning and feel great. Do it at
night, feel good. After that, I can go exercise or go out for a walk. I feel
fine. It takes a lot for me to get sick. I've had that. I got COVID, right?
I got COVID for like a day, but no, three days. Actually, that's true. I had three
days. But other than that, you would see the Act Man drama? Yeah, I saw it. I
I saw it
We'll look at it in a little bit and yeah COVID died. Yeah, well it fell off. It didn't die it fell off. So, yeah
Well, Colin needs your support right now. What's going on my stream? What do you mean? What's he doing about that shit for?
What's he talking about that shit for? Yeah, what do you mean?
Wonder why he never played the nine souls
I don't even know what the hell that is we mean nine souls like I'm excited for that state of play ship
Bro like real quick like this happened. Maybe like Jeff just announced this a little bit ago. This is it
Yeah
Yeah
We got tomorrow
There we go, and that's gonna be at 5 p.m. Man tomorrow is gonna be fucking lit like I've got plans
Like I'm gonna be on we're doing top streamer tomorrow as well
And I'm gonna be way done before this and then we do the state of play. I am very excited man
State of lame? Ooh, you mean state of gay?
Huhuhuh, shut the fuck up. It's gonna be good. They said they're gonna announce 20 games
That's gonna be nuts, bro. 20 games. Imagine they announce Concorde 2?
I feel like at the beginning, you know what they should do?
You know what they did, like after 9-11, where like they would start every show with like a moment of silence for like the people that died?
Maybe Sony should start the next state of play with like a moment of silence for Concorde, right?
And like everybody like you just have all the executives like looking down with like their arms, you know at their at their
at their sides
Man
Yeah cozy games incoming. I don't know if it's gonna happen, right? I don't have no idea
Leaks suggest dragons dogma 2 DLC will be shown. Well, we'll see what happens, right?
I mean like I'll believe it when I see it. That's what I say and yeah
Concord to the redemption. Yeah, of course
Once I'm a science for every million dollars waste on development. No, that would that would be the entire show
So yeah, they wouldn't have time for that
Microsoft 17 made Windows 7 Windows 7. I feel like I feel like Windows 7 was good like Windows
It was like Windows XP was good Windows in me. I think was bad
And then there was there's like Windows like millennium or something like that
I forget what it was and then there was Windows 8 that sucked Windows 10 was good
And I feel like now Windows is just pretty much the same thing.
Like they stopped trying to be creative.
They gave up on being creative and they just make the exact same product every other year and then they resell it to you.
Uh, which is good. I'm glad. Thank you.
You know, stop changing things up. Yes.
Uh, I appreciated it a lot. Vista. Vista was the one. Yes. I fucking forgot about Vista.
Yes, not Emmy, because Emmy was the Millennium Edition. Yes.
Have you ever seen Denim's Mold Monday's? No, is it about me? I'm sure it is. It has
improvements under the hood. Linux and Mac took a bunch of the user base.
Linux and Mac took a user base. Bro, I bet like less than 1% of people use
Linux. Like it's super, super, super rare. Like, yeah, what do you mean? Like,
that's a very, very rare thing. Like people on the internet, right? Like,
Cuz we're on we're like we're plugged in right we're inside of the fucking of the matrix, right?
And like we see everybody just using Linux and shit, but like an average person doesn't even know what the fuck Linux is
Like that will know they have windows everybody has fucking windows. We talk about Linux for him. Absolutely not
Yeah, like what do you think? Yeah, it's up. It's in it up to three to four percent
I bet it's not like I don't think so, but I would say it's less than one
But hey, I could be wrong. Yeah windows is the standard it is it is the standard and it is yeah, there it is
You play return of the king on ps2
I played it on Xbox because it was Cody and Jeff's actually maybe it was mine. I brought over that for God
I'm not played over there. That's a lot, but yeah, it was really good. I remember that move that went a lot so yeah
Smart people use Linux for sure for sure. That's that's hey. Hey so true absolutely like you by the way
Yeah, there we go
You see an ice, uh, sent multiple extrumers harassed O2K members at TwitchCon?
No, I didn't see that at all, honestly.
Uh, I had no idea.
Like, in my opinion, I, uh, I do think Twitch...
Like, Twitch definitely needs to, like, next year, um,
if people are being, like, problematic for whatever reason,
uh, Twitch needs to just, like, immediately have them removed.
Like, I actually think that, like, going to conventions and harassing people,
Like, I'm fine if somebody from kick or YouTube wants to go and stream TwitchCon, it's like that's, obviously that's fine, right?
But if you're doing it and you're being aggressive or abusive or hostile, right?
Like, you need to get kicked the fuck out.
Like, that's it. I mean, there's really like, there's no other, there's literally no other perspective than any normal person can have.
So, yeah.
Cloud Chasers, yeah, exactly, right?
And so, I think with kick streamers, they do that because they think they can get away with them.
They'd never do that in a place where they couldn't get away with it.
That's the reason why.
It's not just at TwitchCon, it's every event.
Yeah, it is. Like, every event.
Like, if somebody goes to the event, and they're like harassing people, actually.
I'm not talking about like just talking to somebody or disagreeing with somebody.
But like harassing them, yeah, just kicking them out.
Playing a game today, we'll see what happens.
Kicks better freedom of speech, I'll Twitch.
That's fine, why you here then?
But yeah, you're talking about the weirdo that attacked Nick's nipple?
No, no, that's just like I mean that in my opinion as I said, I think twitch needs to be like
You know draconian with that they need to if that happens to somebody they need to take that person and crucify them
Absolutely, and so the reason why is like if you don't then you have like other people that don't want to go to events in the future
Because now they realize oh well this weird thing that can happen, you know it could happen to me, right?
Yeah, he's banned by the way. It's more than that. You have to you have to give them the notice that if they ever come on the premises of another twitch event
That they'll be charged for trespassing and that's what that's what Jeff Healy did to that that kid Matan
Is that he said basically if you ever come to another one of my events or get in the one of my events again?
We are sending you a formal notice you have to sign this and you're like you're trespassing
We're gonna press charges against you right like that. That's what they need to do
That's exactly what they need to do put them all together and on Viper Freedom
I guess so feeling good after lunchly
Yeah, yeah, I feel fine
Absolutely, so yeah guy Fox treatment. Well, I don't know right good something a fucking weirdo. Yeah. It's my stomach. Okay
Absolutely, it's totally fine. I don't feel any different at all
I took us you know a nap and you know everything like that, but then otherwise I'm pretty much chilling man
So yeah, you're getting claimed on Twitter really? I guess it must be a day that ends in Y
Yeah, I saw that people were unhappy about the the thing with the V2 being stuck
I'm not really sure. I think that we we privated the video for now until there's like more information that comes out
About like that fruit shit. So I'm not sure whether she she cheated or not
I talked to somebody who I trust their opinion, right? I trust their opinion on it and
And they were not sure either, so I'm like, if we're going to go and like have a big accusation like this,
you know, like, let's make sure that we're 100% sure. No one knows for sure, exactly.
And so that's why I decided, like, you know, because it's a big accusation.
And so we took it down for now. I've made it pretty obvious I don't like her, right?
Like, I don't want anybody to get the wrong idea. I don't like her.
She did that weird Hogwarts legacy shit. She seems like a virtue signor,
And she, you know, like sold out people like Silverfail because she was afraid of the harassment.
So yeah, I, but like...
There's not enough evidence to say that she's cheating in my mind, so we took the video down.
So yeah, because at the end of the day, like if we're putting something out there that's, uh, you know, like on the spectrum of like maybe not true,
then we're still like, I'm still doing you guys a disservice, right?
I'm still like, you know, pushing bullshit.
And I don't want to do that, right?
Usher Megan Fox deleting tweets. I saw that very interesting, isn't it? Yeah, and so it's it's really it
She'll still not a colleague. She did but that doesn't mean that she's a cheater and so until I get more evidence of that
We're gonna keep the video private and if more evidence comes out we'll make two videos
So yes
But I just don't have the evidence yet, right? And so we'll have to wait and see
No, I have no problem. But yeah, there's just not enough evidence for it right now
Star Wars theory reacted to you? Yeah, the thing is it was crazy, right? And so
This is gonna be a weak GTA 6 motion capture
Wait, what was this? What's this shit like? Oh my god. Oh my mother fucking god. What is this?
Yeah boss, so
For the motion capture thing for the game
We're going to need to, so, oh, I mean, I don't know how to say this, so we're going to need to have a stripper come in and dance for us so we can have the motion capture to save money.
yeah um we're trying that we got to save money because we don't we don't want
this game to be ex- we don't want to have you get in trouble from the director
so we're just we're just trying to help you man what a fucking job stripper as
a business expense I guess so yeah yeah it's who do we gotta do it for the
fans the biggest fan of the game I saw this yes as pretty much no surprise
anybody. Henry Cavill played Space Marine 2. This game is the month. Seriously,
they've done pretty well. I couldn't complete the campaign on Angel of Death
by myself. Thank God. Now I don't feel bad because I couldn't either. Like, I just
did it on veteran and it was still hard, which I love. Loving the POP and really
looking forward to it growing and expanding and it's real potential to
be absolutely awesome. Disclaimer, I know nothing about game development so
the kind of dreams I might have might be rather difficult to implement.
So, yeah, Henry Cabell played Space Marine 2 and it looks like he did the whole campaign. Holy fuck.
Yeah, so he actually played through the whole game.
And that's pretty badass, man. Yeah, there you go. I'm still struggling with the campaign myself.
It's uh, I feel like the campaign for me was just, it was basically a
soundboard of me saying I'm one hit. I'm one hit. I'm dead. I'm dead.
I'm gonna die. Oh my god. We barely got it. I'm one hit, you know, and that was it
You know it was bad ass though. Yeah, it was pretty fun
hmm
oh
It's you know something about game dev then uh, that's more than game journalists are able to do
Yeah, of course right so my feel like Henry Cavill should leave Hollywood behind just become a twitch streamer
I mean hey man like I
Hope that they admit that they make that Warhammer series. I really do I feel like oh
Oh, I just realized my camera is out of focus.
I just looked, there we go.
Okay, that's better.
Yeah, that's weird.
I guess it was from yesterday.
But yeah, did you get some of that
six minutes to taste food?
No, I didn't.
I feel totally fine.
I feel great.
Yeah, I totally pussied out and turned down in difficulties.
Space Marine 2 is no joke.
It is really hard.
Like the game is very hard.
And yeah, I think it's a good game.
It's definitely a good game.
The only complaint that I really have
with Space Marine 2 is that there's not more of it.
like you know i i just i wish there was like more diversity in the game i'm not
talking about women
course not i'm talking about like more races like necrons and uh... towel and
things like that right
and uh... you know more different types of monsters to fight against
uh... that would be really cool
so yeah i hope that they're gonna do that i'm sure they probably are like
they're not stupid they know they know how to game is they know what they're
made
so yeah i just really hope that's what happens forty case been canceled by
Amazon because they want to smash DEI and Cavill left because of it. Who knows whether
that's actually what happened. I mean, that's all complete fan fiction. But yeah, this
is awesome. I'm really glad to see this. And yeah, Space Marine 2 is a great game. You
should absolutely try it out. Yeah, 100% worth the time. Apparently the first roadmap
released before the end of the year. Yeah, I mean, I think the game, this is the
thing with Space Marine 2 is that Space Marine 2 has a chance to completely dominate
the Gears of War market for at least a year before Gears of War E-Day comes out, right?
Because like for me, whenever I was playing Space Marine 2, the only thing I was thinking
is like, wow, this is a lot like Gears.
This is like Gears.
This is like Gears.
And I think that by then, if they have enough of a infrastructure built up and
like enough like of a robust like gameplay experience, you're going to see it even
extending into Gears of War being released too.
So yeah, I'm super excited for it.
And I hope that there's going to be more content.
I think that after I finish playing a couple of other games, I'm going to go back and make
sure that I have my character leveled all the way up for the new content.
So yeah.
The only thing Gears related is that it's in third person.
Well I don't know about that.
There is Mythic Founder Asgore put out a hit piece on Fruit if your V2 were working
for Mythic if you owe it to your friends and peers to get the fuck out.
This is another viral Asmone hate post guys.
I'm going to be honest, 5,000 likes?
Come on.
That's not even...
that's nothing. That's nothing. Like this is not, this is literally like an off-comment.
Yeah, 5K. Oh wow, it's so bad. Yeah, I'm sorry. No, I do want to say that, I did, I mentioned
this just a minute ago, but since there's another post on it, I'll say it again. I do
want to say that I talked to somebody whose opinion I value very strongly and I took
their opinion seriously and we had a conversation about it and I came to the conclusion that
after I talked with them that while it's possible that fruit cheated on her husband with like that
five guys thing and everything it's definitely possible and it might still be probable. There's
not enough evidence for me to go out and say that it happened and so we took that we we
privated the video for now until more information comes out. So yeah, I'll cheer with five
I don't know exactly what it is, but yeah, because I the thing is I thought about it for a while both are bad for now
Right. Yeah for now and if more information comes out, then I'll make another video about it
Absolutely is your evidence exactly she literally admitted it. I
Did read I read about this for like an hour and a half yesterday
I hate to say this I read about this for like an hour and a half and after reading everything and having a
Conversation with somebody about it my conclusion was that I am not a hundred percent sure that this happened
Why? Because it's my video and I want to make sure that it's not wrong, obviously, right?
Yes, that's the reason. And so that's why it happened. Cheated with fast food.
Oh, I don't know. I mean, there's plenty of people that do that, but that's with their diet and not their husband.
But yeah, you suffered yesterday. That's how it should be done.
That's just so annoying. That's been hours in some of his personal life.
That's been five years ago. I have some weird person found to bring it up.
have no idea but like yeah that's just really it and uh gonna you I try to be
right about things you know like I don't like to spread misinformation on
purpose I'm sure I do it sometimes but like I do try to avoid it as much as I
can so so a victim of domestic abuse of the lines board yeah I that's not really
where I was coming from with it it's just that I was not certain and there
was enough uncertainty with it to where like I don't really know if I
I would really go with it or not.
So yeah, your response on Andy Panza's shit,
I'd be dying this morning.
Yeah, I said that before.
I will, I'll have to look at that soon, okay?
The whole thing started on 4chan.
Yeah, I saw that, I got it.
And the person that I talked to,
actually like, I know that people
might take this as a context.
The person is in no way, shape, or form related
to Vishojo or had anything to do with Vishojo.
So this wasn't like a, oh, they tried to get
her management to like tell me to take it down.
that's not what happened it was like a separate friend that I had had you know
and you know like that that's why and so it's that it was not tectone either but
yeah and that's it you doing a while ready with McConnell we'll see what
happens right but let's go back I'll look at the rest of this that's what
happened that's what it is the most consistent game on steam Baldur's
gate 3 with a hundred thousand people playing I'm not surprised the game is
very popular. A lot of people like the game. What a big fucking surprise. Yeah, this game's
been huge and it's probably like, I mean Baldur's Gate 3. What's crazy about it is that it's a
single player game that people are still playing regularly like a year after it came out almost.
I think it might be a year. Yeah, it must be a year after it came out. It's insane.
So yeah, apps are fucking loopy. Well, co-op, there's co-op. What do you mean? Oh yeah,
yeah, there's like some new update they did. I'm not really sure exactly what it was.
Dr. Disrespect won't be updating to iOS 18 for me seven Jesus. Okay. All right. Let's see here
modern-day police officers
I
Do think that if you are this fat you should not be a police officer
It's not even a question. You think it like if this dude
Tried to run away from you
you'd be you you're not catching him he's gone like anybody that skinny is
gonna be like that yeah not if he falls exactly oh big it big it yeah you're like
oh wow yeah this is no a police officer should be physically fit it's not even
a question crazy that they're like I how is it even a conversation you could
walk away? Okay, alright. Yeah, something like that. People are insane. I know, man. Oh my
fucking god. Too many American police officers are overweight. Well, I think that there's a
big difference between this and being overweight. Like a guy can be like, you know, a bit overweight.
It's alright. But like whenever you're this, like this person gets winded going upstairs,
I guarantee you like that's insane man. There's a health and weight standard in the military
I had friends get charged that get discharged for it. Yeah, of course
I don't know I PlayStation invest millions of dollars like Concord instead of games like Bloodborne 2 Titanfall 3 or Star Wars Battlefront 3
That's a great question. I do know that tomorrow. They're having a big one and
Hopefully
Hopefully they announced something that's good. So I think it's going to be the blood-borne remaster
They have to do it now because of the the mods. They're they're obligated. They have to so yeah
Why doesn't he play well anymore? Why don't I play well anymore?
Because the games played out and it's boring
And every everything in the game. I think is like pusified to the extent that
it's like not
Like it doesn't pass the vibe check basically. I don't like all the add-ons
It's like impossible to watch unless you play the game all the time
And I also just don't think it's really a good decision for like my channel in the long run, right?
Like how is it a good decision for me to like start like
Making wow content and streaming wow all the time if the people that want to watch wow content will only ever watch
Wow content and they'll never watch anything else
That's really where the problem is. You see Paul Tassie's Twitter, what did he tweet?
Because I know I made that video. Did he tweet about me? Because it's not about me. I mean, what's the point, right?
Let's see.
No, he's not tweeting about me. No, who the fuck knows?
Yeah, was the Star Wars theory stuff where harassment is perceived? Yeah, he said he got harassed by them.
I'm not sure whether it happened. Like, I'm sure it probably did, but it's not necessarily, you know, because he was like,
Like, you know, like a victim, like, I don't know.
But yeah, it's not in the game anymore.
You did it for years, bro.
You grew up the game in the community and move forward.
Well, it's not that.
It's like, basically, because I asked myself, like, playing, like, because I think it would
be good for, like, my channel in a way, like, like, I would probably get more viewers
playing WoW.
But the problem is that if I did that, those viewers would just, like, leave as
soon as I stopped playing WoW, right?
Like, that, that's it.
Like, because that's what WoW players do.
All like wow players and like wow fans on twitch and like YouTube they only watch wow
They only care about wow. They're not gamers. They're wow players, and that's it
So that's what happens and so unless I'm trying to like make content
You know for that game all the time which I'm not
Then it's not really worth doing
Well viewers are in that bubble true. Yeah, exactly
So it's like why am I gonna build all my all that you know all that stuff on it, right?
It's also not fun watching someone play something that they aren't enjoying playing
Well, I it's it's hard to say
But yeah, that's the way that I feel about it
And I think that really it's just hard to watch for a lot of viewers too, but that's why I haven't really played well on stream
That's it. You'd have minimal now because you the girl watching Max right now anyway
Well, I think there's always gonna be people that want to watch content for the new expansion
But like I mean outside of race to world first like yeah, obviously race to world first is gonna be compelling
But outside of that like it probably would have been better for my channel to do that
I just don't really care too much about that. It's not something I want to spend my time investing into but yeah and
Most important thing is watch streamer have fun. Yeah, exactly. I that's the way I see it too man
And so let's look at some of the rest of these but yeah, hopefully tomorrow we get blood-borne. We'll see black myth Wukong tops
20 million sales
Oh my God. That's over two concourse. Man, that's crazy. 20 million copies would mean
this game is around Diablo 3 and Gary's Mod numbers, which is insane for a game that was
released a month ago on PC. Never mind a relatively low profile studio. So the, and this is like
we're seeing this happen a lot where like the studio brand name is less important now
than it used to be. Like back in the day it used to really matter like what studio was
making something. Now I think that we've seen so many instances of like a studio you know
okay well this game is going to come out and it's going to be really good like Bethesda.
Well you know a lot of that enthusiasm kind of died after Starfield right or maybe after
Fallout 76 you know with Blizzard like that enthusiasm has died. And so now I feel like
any studio that's coming out with a good product has everything that they need to succeed.
They have everything they need.
All they need to do is just make a very good game and somehow get people to hear about it.
That's it.
That's it.
It doesn't matter how big your studio is, how small your studio is, none of that stuff
matters.
Right?
If I pull up, for example, Blacksmith Wukong, I mean it's still getting a little
Yeah, it's got 400,000 player peak. That's fucking insane. You know, it's like still like top five number five here on
Steam and then another one here is a corekeeper
Look at this one here. It has an insane amount of people playing it. Look at that
29,000 people online playing this game. This is incredible and
Like look at this is even from the launch, right? The launch obviously went really really well
But even after the launch it hasn't even lost that many people
There's still a tremendous amount of people invested in playing the game. So I think this is great. I look at Terraria tennis game
Terraria, I'd never even yeah, I don't even know what this is. Oh my god all-time peak four and a half years ago
Oh my god. So this was I guess probably the big release of the game. Is that probably correct?
Steam release
No, it's not what happened here
Yeah, what was that just a really big update? Okay. Yeah, so it got everybody to play it. That's cool
Yeah, I had no idea. I had a friend that played it a lot
But um, you know, I don't know if even still does but either way like yeah, it's good to see and I
Think now like any studio is able to like come out with a really good game and be able to succeed with it
If they put themselves in the right position
If you like core keep you like Torario, yeah, I know I'm gonna play it eventually
I just don't know when that's going to be. I don't want to commit to anything right now. But yeah.
And before China bad, Cultural War Hordor. Game is bad even though I haven't played it. I know one
person who has this game, General Angry Ramp, for no reason. People making this a Cultural War.
Well, it definitely like Blacksmith Wukong definitely is part of that because of what
happened with like the game's journalists like slandering the studio and like saying things
about how the studio had like, you know, bad treatment of women and like, you know,
talked about women in bad ways. So like it like I mean the game did get involved to an extent like
with cultural war but like it didn't do it itself like it's just other people started that. So yeah
the game succeeded because it didn't pander to the woke mob. The game succeeded because it was very
good. It's true though female NPCs are all monsters in disguise. Yeah of course right
definitely and but that's that's actually the big reason reports of widespread sexism and yeah
I think that's what happened.
What's this? How much money did Steam make? Preferably 20%.
Yeah, they get 20% of the sales or 20 or 30, I don't remember.
When can we expect Nintendo to go after them
for using a monkey as a character?
Oh, true, because remember, Nintendo did Donkey Kong.
Yeah, Nintendo definitely should sue them for that.
30, yeah, they've got a lot.
Iron Mouse Channel's all restored, of course.
Yep, there we go.
Everything's totally fine.
Yeah, I, yeah.
But YouTube is really trying to do a better job with, like, kind of taking care of situations
like this.
The fail because the panda to the woke mob is disproven by Baldur's Gate 3.
I think that, um, like a game isn't going to be successful or unsuccessful because it
has body type 1 or 2 or pronouns in it.
But sometimes those things are mining canaries for deeper problems in the game,
such as the game's story being contrived or it's kind of like a lot of bad games
have that, but it's not necessarily connected.
Morsgate 3 isn't woke?
Yeah. I think that's definitely a big difference.
Lawyers at YouTube, of course, it's resolved. This is not a norm.
She sent lawyers to YouTube.
I don't really know if that's what happened or not.
YouTube can shut down somebody's channel for any reason.
I don't think YouTube really...
You really think YouTube would be worried about one content creator.
Like a massive international brand and like Google's worth trillions of dollars. So, uh, no, I don't really think that's scared them or anything like that
What's this? Oh, yeah, also, I did see this was really fucking funny. So basically, uh,
Oh my god. Oh
My god
This just started about like two or three hours ago. I was looking at it whenever I was a I
I was waking up and let me see if I can show you guys here make sure I pull it up and
Where is it?
Yeah, okay
so anyway
Basically
This is so stupid. This is it. It's so so so dumb. I'm sorry
I'm like I'm trying to like just like mentally
You know fortify myself to discuss this topic
topic. Okay, all right, let's do it. So Act Man and Andy Pants Gaming had a debate after
Andy Pants Gaming made a video about Act Man calling him a woke YouTuber or something
like that. Then Andy put the video up on his YouTube channel. The video was not well received
by his audience. He took down the comments for the video and then basically kind of
deleted it. However, Act Man decided to upload it himself. Act Man who was in the video, right?
Because it was a debate between the two of them. And after the debate between the two of them was
resolved, or sorry, finished, this video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by
Andy Pantz Gaming. So he sent a copyright takedown request on this video. And this was a video,
by the way that the act man was a part of and he was in
so
i i i don't know why i don't know why he's doing this
i i i i actually don't know why because this seems like such an incredibly big
mistake like why are you doing this
the release of offer the why are you gay meme joke
uh... then please fix this i haven't watched it in a fucking way yeah
exactly so
uh... he got copyright struck uh... act man here
uh... it's been a long time comrade
there we go your video was removed to do a copyright removal request
and so there we go
and uh...
act man actually got a strike on this channel
because he uploaded a video
that he was a part of
which is kind of crazy
like uh... i'm i'm really really shocked that this happened
So Act Man can copyright strike at Andy Pants?
I don't know what's going to happen.
I have no idea.
I think that Andy,
I think Andy is in his feelings about this.
And I think that he should just be like,
I fucked up, I shouldn't have done this.
I'm taking it back.
Let's move on.
That's what he should do.
That's what I think he should do.
And that's a grown-ass man, you have too much ego.
Well the thing is that ego is always something like if you can't, if you can't control your ego, it will act against your own best interest, right?
Because copyright striking somebody, and this is not even like, you've got to keep in mind, I want to make this very very clear, this was a video that was done, this video was done with Act Man was in the video.
it was a video between it was a debate between act man and andy
so if copyright is created like i basically if this went to court act man would win i'm like
99% sure from everything that i know about the law act man would absolutely win because he's all
like cut like it's not registered in any one person's name and he is a subject of the video
So, yeah, of course, he could re-upload it.
So, it's basically like if you're submitting a copyright removal to somebody when you don't,
you shouldn't be doing that.
Like that is, in my opinion, you know, we don't have the 10 commandments on YouTube.
We have the one commandment on YouTube and it's don't send in false information like this.
This is the one thing that pretty much every single person on YouTube agrees with
because everybody uses copyrighted material in one way or another, right?
whether it's uh... you know a movie clip whether it's a reaction video whether
it's music and or anything right and so
in general
nobody likes somebody who's sending copies rights
and this has been the one thing that's united pretty much all of you too
and so anyway
andy pants game is not using out now he didn't talk about me and he talked
about me
uh... i'll watch this
i can't believe the morning i woke up and i was like holy crap like one of my
favorite youtubers as mongold was like making a video responding to my video
it was a good video i like this video is very popular people like the i think
that's what's disappointing is i thought andy's video is good
and it's disappointing to see him
i think that he's kind of written himself into a corner here
right he's he's he's written himself into a corner and
there's not a way like i i i there's no way to like really resolve this
and i would
for a second i was panicking i was like
oh man i hope he likes it like if he doesn't like it
you know i might kill myself
so there's this thing you see on youtube a lot now it's called grifting and you
see people like luke stevens and as mongold doing it a lot and it just
basically means
these people have no integrity whatsoever one of my favorite youtubers as
mongold so it basically means so i he he said that about me
and uh...
Do you just regurgitate whatever the popular opinion to have right now is?
One of my favorite YouTubers, Asmongold, you have no integrity and you will just regurgitate
whatever people want to hear.
So naturally, I replied to this and I said, I'm glad to see he's learned the error of
his ways, right?
Like now that he's learned that this is in fact not true, et cetera, I read himself
out.
It's fine.
people that, like, I don't have a problem if somebody is
like this. Like, I do want to say, though, I really have to
say that any time that I hear the word grifter, I immediately
turn my brain off. I feel like it's that grifter is just the
word that's used for people that say things that you don't
like. That's it. There's no logic to it. There's no, like
uh... reasoning to it at all
uh... it's just the new buzzword that people use as an insult to everybody
for no real reason well there are a legend my grifters out there
yes but
what do you think the percentage of people that
uh... you know
use the word know what it means because i'd say it's probably like five
percent
very very very rare
so yeah
the same thing as calm and could be legit yeah it's basically fucking nobody
fence sitting grifter woke his fuck bro I guess so right and isn't grifting I
mean if I'm grifting it's definitely gonna be a long con because I've been
doing it for such a long time but yeah anyway so Andy Andy pants has seemingly
struck down the act man's upload of their debate via DMCA takedown I'm sure
this is going to end wonderfully for him and so this mischief talking about
it as well. And I don't really understand why this happened. I really don't. And then
Atman says that he's brain dead, schizophrenic, spineless coward of a man. You said in the
debate that we could both use it for content. When you record a debate for someone, both
creators can host it on their channel. That's how it works. You are 41 years old and you
don't know shit. And so Andy replied to this and he said, you're going to be fine,
Alex, Act Man didn't just clip the interview. He reposted the entire thing. That's a clear YouTube
violation. Cope, though. And so everybody basically disagrees with this. It's a clear YouTube violation.
It's hard to say. The Act Man was in the video. That's not how copyright law works.
Like I suddenly are concerned with YouTube policy when the roles reverse. You'd be
screeching at wokeys or censoring for speech. I don't know about that. But this is a,
It's a pretty big issue. I think that Andy
This is my honest advice because I want to be able to I like Andy's videos and I like the act man too obviously, right?
You need to just fucking stop this
Fucking stop it. Just just remove the strike and move on
Just move on
Like there have been so many times where I've had videos that I've done where everybody is mad at me
The only way that you can get past it is if you just move past it yourself
Stop trying to justify it or anything like that and I know I dislike woke man if you don't like act man
That's fine. Like you don't like that. I don't care. You don't like Andy. That's fine
I'm just saying like if I like that. That's my best advice. I think you should do
Yeah, repped down the drain with that behavior? Yeah, exactly, because it makes you look weak and people don't like that.
They should stop shooting shots at each other and just carry on with their content.
Yeah, sure. Did you see the video? Andy Panse was on a crusade against the Act Man. It was not a sincere debate.
He was trying to gacha and quiver Act Man for what it seemed to me. Andy has an ill-based perspective on some things and was disrespectful to Act Man.
I didn't watch it.
Yeah, I didn't watch it. I have no idea what happened. I was busy doing something...
else like I'm not sitting here watching a fucking debate about like who's a woke
youtuber I don't give a fuck about this like I don't care I'll watch it for
content on my stream but am I gonna spend my own personal time doing this
absolutely not so no I didn't look at I didn't watch this and so yeah debate
about nothing yeah exactly and is the debate available it is somewhere I
just don't really know where but yeah and I did not watch I'm not sure but
But I think that again, he needs to just kind of say, hey, you know, I overstepped, I fucked
up, I need to stop doing it.
But yeah, it's pretty, pretty funny to see this happen.
I like when there's a conversation about a topic, people just say, I don't like X person.
Well, that's usually what it's about, right?
That's always what it's about.
But yeah, Act Man was on unsub podcast, he ain't woke, he's just left strolling
with comical shit.
Well, I think the problem is that if you, it's kind of like how it's, like I've said this before, how
people, it's very hard to have a nuanced perspective on anything because every single topic has two sides to it
and if you're not on one side or the other side, then you're just an enemy. That's it.
Not calling you people as well like the others grifters. Oh yeah, for sure. The word woke is
basically the same to me as word grift to you. I just automatically assume the word,
you're an idiot if you use it. I think that usually most people that use the word woke that you'd be
right about that. Generally I think that people overuse that word too. Absolutely. Why do people
think people who are neutral are an enemy? The reason why is because they become so emotionally
entrenched in the issue that they care about that it causes them to self-radicalize. And so
So what happens is that their entire life and identity is revolving around this like one
individual problem.
And so now, because this problem is like the center of their life and they're constantly
thinking about it, anybody who goes against that or complains about it or says anything
negative about it, this person now is an enemy.
And so I think that's really what happens, right?
You're either with us or against us exactly because like they're so invested in it,
They can't see it from the perspective of anybody else besides them.
People can't be nuanced anymore?
No, they can't.
And that's the problem, right?
And so you're going to always get attacked from both sides of people if you try to give
a balanced perspective.
Generally all nine people are doing it once you care.
Yeah.
And even most of them don't care.
Just doing God's work.
I don't know why, but this is actually, the best part about it is that it's
actually scarier.
You know, I don't really know what that says about bald people, but like, yeah, I look at this and it's like, yeah, actually, this is kind of scary, holy shit.
Yeah, Asmon plushies, shut the fuck up.
The Asmon avocado art began on 922-24. How fat will Asmon get?
Bro, I ate half of one bite of every single one of these.
I had no idea how garbage this food was until I saw it on stream.
Do people really buy this shit?
Yeah, I used to buy it like I would not use to my mom used to buy me lunchables all the time. Yeah, how much do they pay him for this garbage?
Dude, what the hell? Why is this the same comment over and over? I wonder if these bots? I don't know
Just stack them facing the camera millions easily
So the I know that a lot of people
Do you really think that if they paid me they would be happy with me saying that?
that one of them is the same as Lunchables,
the other one is worse than Lunchables,
and the other one is better.
Like, that's really not that great of a review.
It's really not.
Like, so yeah, I'm sorry to say,
meaning I think, oh, there's just people
that think that, though.
Is this another social experiment?
I guess so.
Why don't you just copy-paste the Lunchables
and make it slightly worse?
Well, with the pizza, it was better,
but with the nachos, yes.
He might get to 130 pounds.
Why is Mr. B selling energy drinks
caffeine to kids in those lunchlets. That's not true. It doesn't have caffeine in it, like
it just doesn't have it. I understand we want to get mad about this and pretend like we care,
but that's just not what it is. There's not caffeine in there. It's got electrolytes,
which are what plants crave, exactly. We're hammer 40k space marine 2, new tightest story
DLC being considered after unprecedented success. There we go. Holy shit. I'm not surprised about
this though. I don't think anybody should be. Yes, obviously it's love separate episode missions
for different chapters. That would be amazing. Each chapter has unique lore. Yes, this would be
fucking amazing. I hope they follow through. I'd love some additional campaign missions as well
as operations. I think so too. Yeah, especially like different types of objectives and like
goals that you can have. But yeah, this is awesome, man. New Blasphemous DLC trailer?
Really? Let me look at it. Wow. Okay.
Oh, they don't have anything else about it. Yeah, Mayakopo was the name of the sword in
the first game and I think it translates to the body and it's part of the story and the
sword was effectively my fault. Oh, my fault is not my body. Okay, there we go. And now
of course that makes sense because of the penance of the helmet. Yeah, I don't know
why I thought it was the body. But yeah, appropriate that it releases on Halloween, I will absolutely
play this. Yes. And anything for the forever winter? I don't know, we're gonna see. There's
a lot of things coming up pretty soon, so I'm gonna have my hands full. This game is
fucking amazing, by the way. I played Blasphemous 2, I beat the entire thing and I went back
and I played Blasphemous 1 and I even looked up all the lore about the game. This is
absolutely. I'll probably play. I will play this on stream. Yeah, I'm gonna play it on stream.
And yeah, this is really, really good. And to get all the endings, I did not get all the endings,
but I watched the other endings on stream. And so yeah, I saw it before.
Is it one of your best games of all time? I think it is probably my favorite Metroidvania
type-style game that I've played so far. It is my favorite. The reason why is I think that if you add in
the gameplay, the movement, the bosses, the lore, everything put together, it's my favorite.
So yeah, you have to do The Last Faith, it's good Metrovania too. Yeah, I never finished Hollow
Knights, so I probably, you know, would have to do that before I decide. From current Cobain to
walking dead extra okay alcohol heroin cocaine and wow man man oh god that's bad
right yeah look at that may take that yeah there it is you occur oh I just
shaved um I was speed running shaving and that's it and yeah what's that on
Oh, it's blood. I would just I could shave myself and yeah now it doesn't happen anymore by the way
I don't know why I guess that uh, I guess it doesn't hurt anymore for speedrun never goes well. Yeah, and
That don't even hurt. No. No, it doesn't I didn't even feel this at all. I had no idea
But yeah, this is what wow does to you guys
It's bad. Isn't it?
Jesus the skin gets used to it. That's why I guess so
Yeah, you aren't had a shave. No, not really. I pretty much do it the exact same way
So I'm a straight dude always had a hard time judging guys on likes Jasmine could be considered handsome
I don't know about that. I mean I I
Definitely had more hair then I'll tell you that though for sure. Let's see here. Where's this new game coming out on steam
Can you survive five nights at Diddy's?
Okay
Okay, bro, like what what's there's only four because the fifth one is behind you
What's this? The Japanese company has released a caffeinated instant ramen that can be sucked out of a tube for gamers?
I don't know why, but this just feels gay to me. Am I the only person- I mean, somehow this is gay, right?
Yeah, do a review of it. I feel like it's gotta be gay. How? I don't know.
That's the thing is like I'm trying to figure out why is it what it but yes somewhere there
I just I just get that feeling man
I don't know what it is bad take you think so maybe it's actually really good
Yeah, our unwillingness to go quietly into the long dark would be what would one day turn the tide
What is this? Woke this is dying. We might miss it. Oh
God, what is this?
There's somebody have a link to the article, probably some fake bullshit, but with your
wallet fuck Concord fuck Suicide Squad fuck Dragon Age.
The irony that you're using Homelander from the Boys, can you fill that in on the Boys?
It's a left-leaning show that constantly makes someone that anyone isn't liberal.
I have no idea.
I haven't watched it ever.
And what's this Facebook mom meme?
Yeah, basically.
Is Woke-ness dying?
I would say so because people aren't buying it as much.
I think actually wokeness is not like in itself dying. I just think that people are not consuming content in the same way that they used to and
also
Like the stories that were
Let me hear a way to put it right
It's basically that like the content just gotten worse right I mean that that's really where the problem is it's just gotten worse
That's taken less seriously now. Of course it is, because the problem is that people have been like
something like this can only exist inside of an ecosystem where it's protected. Like it can't
exist inside of a free marketplace of ideas where people can decide and choose what they want.
And that's why this mentality is dying out. It's because if you have anybody who's able to
think for themselves, they immediately are like, why I don't want to have somebody doing this
are telling me this, right? Yeah, it needs to exist inside of a safe space. It can't exist on its own.
That's why they hate capitalism too. I think that's probably just because they can't afford
house. But yeah, maybe that too. That's too enumar. Doesn't think we should have to play
as ugly characters in games. What's this? It's misleading title. What does it say?
Most people are already role playing as ugly characters in real life. Yep, true.
People want to play hot people. People want to be hot. It really is just that simple.
People are getting all kinds of takes from this, but this is really what Nomara said.
When I was in high school, a classmate was playing a game where the main character wasn't good looking.
They said, why do I have to be ugly in the game world too? Which really left a strong impression on me.
I guess so.
Yep, there you go.
Well, I, yeah.
Well, as Foxy, I want to play a hot girl on absolute abomination.
I think that giving people the option to make a character the way that they want it to look is the best idea.
And that that's something that goes beyond like whether the character is attractive or not
I think it's just something in general, right?
Yeah, fake story, but really funny. Maybe it is I have no idea
But yeah, I think that really just giving people the option to do that is good
And when you don't have those options like the dragon age and like the you know
The boob slider only goes up to like a B cup. Let's be honest, right?
You can't really make the character that you want to so yeah dragon summon to a character creator should be the
goal for every game? Yeah, the Dragon's Dogma 2 character creator was insane. So yeah, Concorde's
character design sunk the game, no one wants to play that shit, then you got actual artists and
character designers pointing it out from an artistic angle, how poorly put together the said
characters are. Concorde was dead in the water because of $40 rehashed Overwatch clone, the
character designs could have been the best ever and no one would have played it. That's
not true. I think that people would go back and play it. Why is that a... I just, I don't think
that the money is the reason why, but I mean again we talked about concord a
hundred times I don't want to do it again, but anyway yeah, a big fucking
surprise that people don't want to play ugly characters in video games. Why
would somebody want to play an ugly character in a video game? Why then do
you try addition of woke character customization for pronoun scars,
mobility, etc. Because it's not creative like especially the like the
the top surgery scars it doesn't make sense logically in terms of a world
where you have shape-shifting.
That's the reason why.
I think that the problem is not that it exists.
And I think that you should be able to put scars on any point.
Oh, that was a gotcha. Yeah, you're right. That was. That is a ban.
Yeah, again, like if you do one of the gotchas where it's like,
oh, but you know, you said this, but what about the other thing?
Yeah, again, intentionally trying to misread something into something else
something else in order to try to like make me look wrong. I will address it though, but
it will cost you your account. I've said that before. Anyway, so yeah, basically that's
the difference. It's that it's a lack of creativity. And I think it's an indicator of that happening.
And I think also the pronouns thing is a it's a cultural thing. And the pronouns
actually bother me less than the body types. I think that the because like somebody
can call themselves like whatever they want, but like if you can't pick male or female
and you're renaming that to body type one or two, like you're actually removing options.
Like you guys kind of see the difference, right?
Where it's like pronouns, you're adding options and with body types, you're removing options.
So like now, no, okay, well, like, so if you're a male, you can't pick male.
You have to pick body type one.
Well, 99% of people here identify as male and not body type one, right, that are men in real life.
So do you see kind of how there's a big difference there? Disagree? Why? Why?
Like that's his body type one, it's the same as male, so what?
Well, if it's the same as male, then why not just call it male?
So that, and that's the thing, right? Yeah, then just call it that.
It's not the same. Yeah, it's not.
There's no body types two, three, and four. Yeah, exactly.
They agree with you about looking at the other side.
The body type one takes nothing away from you.
Well, it does. It does take something away from you because
the body type one takes away your ability to identify as what you believe that you are.
I don't believe that I'm a body type one. I believe I'm a male.
The same as most women don't believe that they're a body type two.
They believe they're a female.
So where is the argumentation and the reasoning behind
let's do something inclusive by taking away the vocabulary
that 99% of the population uses,
and then replacing it with inclusive vocabulary
that only 1% of the population uses.
There's no logic or reasoning to that.
It shouldn't exist.
It is retarded pandering,
and you are actively removing something
that everybody knows to be true.
That's why you can't take off the shirt with body type two.
It's because it's a woman.
And body type one is a man, or A or B,
whatever you want to call it.
That's the reason why.
The pronouns, personally, I care a lot less about.
Yeah, I mean, if you're talking about them and they,
I feel like that's a separate conversation.
But wanting to be referred to as a girl or whatever,
that's just an option that a player can choose.
I don't like that we politicize so much.
Maybe don't care if I buy it.
Yeah, yeah, definitely.
Doesn't body type one plus he, him pronouns being a man.
I don't think that restricts your ability to be a man.
Well, of course it does
because it's not defined that way.
So if it doesn't restrict my ability to be a man,
then why can't it be called man?
Well, the reason why is because people think
that that word is restrictive.
Okay, so if you think that word is restrictive,
what about people that think
that your word is restrictive
And how many of them are there versus how many of them are us?
This is the problem.
Is the like every argument that justifies this actor or sorry that justifies this
action is like an appeal to triviality.
It's like, why do you care?
Well, I care because you care because you're changing it.
And now that you have what you want, you're trying to make me seem unreasonable
because I don't like it.
That's it.
It's a fucking video game, dude.
Exactly.
Exactly, so then don't use it as a platform to push like a very contrived gender ideology.
Yeah, that's my whole point.
Yeah, stop using it as a platform for you to push your gender agenda.
It's weird.
What are we talking about?
Then don't buy it then.
Okay.
I think that's what happens.
Great idea.
No problem. Yes. That's yes. Absolutely. Great idea.
Concord. Yeah, I guess so. That's why those games are failing. You came in my house. My rules. Yeah, exactly.
How about them to develop it with disparity in mind? It's just a game. So why is it important that you'll be in it? Yeah, exactly.
If you don't like it, don't play it.
No, these people, again, they can't defend it.
They can't defend the inclusion of this type of language ideologically.
So they have to use logical fallacies in order to try to defend it through proxy.
So they're not attacking your argument.
They're attacking the fact that you have an argument.
Right?
And that's what happens.
They should stop giving me money.
Well, that's what happens.
Bars get to the same system.
I didn't think it restricted my ability to be a man
or be immersed.
I don't think intrinsically, body types cause this issue.
Okay, let me listen to this.
So I think it restricts my ability
because I don't know what body type one is
but I know what a guy is.
Whenever I play a game, I want to see male
because that's what I am.
So if you think it didn't restrict your ability
to identify as this person, you're totally justified in having that opinion.
But I have the opposite opinion, and I find it to be offensive to me whenever I see that
language that everybody knows to be reality is being redefined for a reason to appeal
to a percentage of people that's probably less than 1%.
I don't want to change my vocabulary in order to make somebody like that comfortable.
And also, keep in mind, they're trying to change my vocabulary.
They're trying to change this from me.
Do you understand?
I'm not disagreeing with its contentious system, but like, why even have it?
Why have it?
Yeah, I don't understand then why have it?
Why even have this?
They're trying to normalize it?
Yeah, they are.
That's the weird niche, because some proper will see it as establishing a role while applying
whether see it as restrictive.
Yeah, I know that.
what I'm saying is that don't you see the issue that something is done in the name of inclusivity
when it effectively removes vocabulary that almost everybody uses? How is something inclusive
when it removes the options from the majority of people? How is that inclusion? I don't understand
this. I can see why have it, but why not have it? I'm not sure if I'm understanding what you mean.
In most games, body type 1 and 2, you also don't get to pick pronouns. Yeah, exactly. So it's already
defined, because it's not about inclusion. They want to exclude you from the conversation.
That's what I think too. If inclusion involves exclusion, and it's not inclusion anymore,
it's entitlement. Well, that's what these people are. Personally, to me, I don't really care,
But I can understand why somebody care about it really is what I'm saying. Yeah, sure, right? And like all I'm saying is that I
Think that we should care I do because I don't want to have reality dictated to me by somebody who doesn't live in it
We don't have body types one and two. We have males and females. That's the real world
That's the way things work. And if you can't live in the real world
I don't want you telling me that I'm wrong because I do
too. It's that simple. There's no fine print to this. This is the common sense reality that
every normal person subscribes to in the entire world. And no, I don't want to have the rules
of nature redefined and then dictated to me through a video game by redefining and
removing vocabulary that every single person in the world knows to be reality. It's
insane. And no, I don't think that anybody should put up with this. I don't think that
anybody should like, Oh, well, it's not that big of a deal. It's not. But if it's not that
big of a deal, then why you push it? It's very reasonable. What I'm saying, it's extremely
reasonable. Save. Why would I ban him? Like he's just, people don't get banned for disagreeing.
That's not the right. Like if you don't, if you think that's what happens, I don't
know what to say. Baldur's Gate 3, there's four body types though, maybe that's okay.
I don't know, I'd have to play Baldur's Gate 3 to see for myself, but I don't remember.
So yeah.
Do we just inquiring? Yeah, it's okay for that.
Minds you, history of everything, there's very much contestants, we're being normal,
etc.
Yeah.
They're more than just A and B though, that's kind of wrong.
I would say that in 95% of games there's just two body types.
That's it.
Yeah, I mean, and also like there's two,
usually there's two different presentations of a body type.
So like for example, there could be like four
because there's like dwarves, right?
But there's like male dwarves and female dwarves.
Anyway, we can talk about this all day.
But like that's what my perspective is.
I think it's very annoying.
And I don't think that anybody should put up with it
or listen to it at all.
It's outrageous and nobody should be,
You know, expected to, uh... to accept it.
So, yeah.
Let's see here.
Holy fuck, I'm not gonna read all this.
But true.
So true.
Nintendo is so wrong.
Dude, they are so right.
I can't believe they would do that.
That's crazy.
I'm not gonna read that whole thing on stream.
But still, holy fuck.
Just do male, female, and miscellaneous.
Miscellaneous, that's a good one.
The waterfall is made of a plastic wrap.
The make of Chapter 2's stop-motion short film?
What do you want?
Plastic wrap.
Oh my god.
Oh my... wow.
Jesus.
This is so beautiful, I know, it's amazing.
I didn't even realize this.
This is where he kills that fucking dog.
Man, so much effort for us to watch. Yeah, I mean they really put a lot of work.
I mean it was very obvious that Blacksmith Wukong was a labor of love for a lot of the people that made it.
it like it really was it was a great game and yeah I'm really glad to see it
still be so successful this is a show for a horror movie I saw this bro like this
stuff is heating up apparently you got people deleting their tweets and all
kinds of crazy shit like this like let me see if I can find this it's really a
lot usher is fuck yeah look at this who's this did he been trying to get
to be before a minute and his management was backing him off but it wasn't until
Usher took over management and had guardianship and gave temporary
guardianship to the dead of a 48 hours. Think about that. He'd already been to
the hospital. That situation in Jean was talking about. And you still took
beaver there. But you got custody of him first. If he had already tried, they wouldn't let
him. Actually, someone made reference to the fact that Diddy trying to get it beaver the
way he was trying to get it beaver was looking a little predatory. And then Usher came in
and discovered it and managed him and got custody of him and promised to look after him
and then he sent him to the diddler.
Does that sound like a good guy?
Can you believe that?
Does that sound like a good guy?
Now that we know what did he's really like.
They're not seeing what the intentions was in his heart.
Well, he took Justin Bieber there.
Let's be honest.
He took Justin Bieber there.
The diddler, man.
Oh my fucking God.
I don't know whether this shit is true.
Jaguar, right, reveals that he had been trying to gain control over Justin Bieber's
but struggled until Usher stepped in, took over management and ultimately
handed Bieber over to Diddy for 48 hours.
Usher recently wiped all of his tweets off of his Twitter profile.
Man, man, that is fucking crazy.
You said Justin Bieber and I have to ask you because he just has
There's a picture circulating online where they show just
He's the new Taven Campbell
Yeah, they show him crying
You're almost giving him a gateway to speak
His truth of what happened
I wish Taven Campbell would speak to him or for him
Because the same thing that they did to him
They're going to be right now
And I have evidence
That's crazy
Mmm
That poor kid
And all because he got discovered by us
sure. And you know she took a right over there to the deadlock and man, but the good times
were all that the good times rose. That's crazy.
The last freak off tape that just got sold on the dark net, which I know because I
monitor went for 500 million in multiple stars in it.
Nicki Minaj, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, Drake.
That part sounds like bullshit to me.
And to be fair, like, yeah, it sounds like bullshit.
Like I'm gonna be real, like after I hear that, it makes me take everything that she
said before that less seriously.
You know what I mean?
Like it does.
Like I think I hear the guy just sounds like bullfucking shit to me proof.
Yeah.
Exactly.
Exactly.
It's hard really to know whether this shit is true or not, but it's certainly fucking
weird.
I'll tell you that.
Yeah, the dark web, we're in dark sunglasses cover, lying eyes, I mean I don't know why.
Like I mean there's no way that we can't really know why or what it is.
Like she wasn't wearing sunglasses in this, so I don't think that's really what it
is.
Have to wait for Bieber to speak I guess?
I guess so man.
Like I bet a lot of people are wondering what the fuck happened because this shit seems
really really really fucking weird man.
Like this is like really truly is about to be really
Really fucking by this shit is just really
Is really weird man. He's a weird guy like what the fuck? Yeah odd timing for Twitter account to be hacked
I know it's crazy right usher's account just randomly got all that shit deleted off of it
What are the odds right? What are the odds out? Well? How coincidental? That's nuts, isn't it?
I would have never thought that. Oh my god. What change? What's this?
Holly
Do you think that the armed serves to discriminate against transsexuals?
Thank God. They do otherwise. I'd be fighting a Vietnam
What the fuck is this? Is this real? It's gotta be a meme, right?
Yeah, I don't know what to say. One of the funniest pranks I've seen dropping a wedding cake
but blaming all I don't know if I want to do that let's see here why men are
leaving the workforce what's this it's just showing an ad men have been yeah
I can watch this sure give me a minute we're becoming sigma crypto bros you
think that's it so men are no longer working anymore I mean based right I
mean shit. Men have been steadily dropping out of the workforce, especially men age 25 to 54,
who are often considered to be in their prime working years. That's right. As of August 2024,
13.7% of prime age men were not working compared to just 7.2% in 1954. Yeah. The long term,
that is a huge increase. Think about those numbers. That's basically a double, crazy,
crazy number. That COVID dip, though? Yeah, of course. But like, that's not what I'm talking
about. That we're talking about this decline in labor force participation by so-called prime
age men is a tremendous worry for our society, for our economy, and probably also for our
political system.
When did they invent video games?
As a service of prime age workers who could be working in art, and that's this puzzling
problem.
The unemployment rate for prime age working men sat at 3.4% in August 2024.
This number primarily includes those who are unemployed and looking for a job.
about 10.5% of men in their prime working years,
where roughly 6.8 million men nationwide
are neither working nor looking for employment.
This is an important distinction
is that unemployment can be defined in multiple ways.
So like you have some people that are unemployed
because they work seasonally,
some people that are unemployed
because of an industry change,
some people that are unemployed
because they can't find a job,
and then you also have people that are unemployed
and also not looking for employment.
So whenever you see what these numbers are,
you have to be very careful.
This though is the number that you're looking for.
Is the not employed and not looking to be employed?
That's the important number.
Pertigious 2.5% in 1954.
What's surprising is it's not a COVID phenomenon.
It's not a recession phenomenon.
And for every prime age man who is unemployed and looking for a job, there are more than
three in some years, four who are neither working nor looking for work.
So what's driving men out of the workforce?
And if left unchecked, what impact will it have on the US economy?
Let's see why.
What do I think?
Nearly half of prime age men out of the workforce cited obsolete skills, lack of
education and training, poor work record or security issues as a reason preventing
them from work.
is a very important predictor of a prime age man's odds of being out of public.
Yeah, I think that makes sense for sure. Yeah, absolutely too many women in the
workforce. I mean, I don't know. I feel like women have been in the workforce for
quite a while, right? I mean, like the 90s, I'm sure there are a lot of women
working, right? And so like, how has it gone down from there?
The big impacts are on the non-college educated groups on their ability to enter and stay in
the labor market.
That's where the issue is.
It's definitely there because it's the guys that don't have any sort of like college degree,
they don't have any formal education.
There used to be a lot of jobs that you could do that didn't require that, but the
The fact is that now I feel like a lot of those jobs
are being automated or they are not as important
as they were, they're not needed as much.
It's like back in the day you could work at a factory
and then, you know, bolt nuts onto a Ford,
but you don't need to do that anymore
because they have a robot that does that.
So it's like, where do those people go?
At a certain point, nowhere.
What the fuck?
You can't automate trades, you can,
but it's just that we're so far off,
it's not realistic for it to happen.
Also being a plumber or being like a carpenter,
like that's really hard work, man.
And so a lot of people aren't really gonna wanna do that.
Yeah, I mean, I understand that like, yeah,
you can make a good amount of money doing that.
Some people do, but yeah, it's hard to do that.
But educated, leave the workforce at higher rates
than men who are.
Yeah, of course.
At the same time, fewer younger men
have been enrolling in college over the past decade.
If you look at the g-
Well, that's not really a big surprise
when you see initiatives that are given the privilege women.
Like I see this all the time,
where it's like, well, this is some sort of initiative
that's made to get more women to go to college
or get more women to be involved with something.
Big fucking surprise, you're gonna see men
that aren't going to be as enrolled in college.
It makes sense, of course.
It's an in cell take.
That's an in cell take, it's a fact.
It's a fucking fact.
Like how many times do you ever see articles
and like initiatives that companies do
that are like getting more women
involved with X, Y or Z thing?
All the fucking time.
All the fucking time.
And so yes, if you're a guy,
like women have these innate advantages
that these companies are putting out there,
they're putting money up to give them an advantage.
So yes, obviously men are at a disadvantage
because if you're competing against somebody
that has a head start or some sort of advantage over you,
then now it's harder for you to compete.
It's very simple.
It's more than that, some initiatives,
emails outperform emails academically,
average is always high school.
Sure, I'm saying like that's definitely probably a factor,
but you're talking about college,
I'm not talking about high school.
Are they trying to rectify the historical disadvantage?
Well, rectifying a historical disadvantage by
Disadvantaging a different group of people, this is not virtuous.
Like you're not rectifying anything because what happened to somebody 50 years ago isn't what's happening now.
Like if you're applying an unfair standard onto a person because it's something that they didn't do,
then you're treating them unfairly.
That's, it's really simple.
Theography of where the most primate men
of labor force are in particular,
they tend to be in places
that have experienced manufacturing declines.
Exactly, yeah, it's because, yeah,
there's no like physical like labor jobs
that are not super intensive
that are low skill that men can have
because they've been automated.
To graduate with a high school education
and have good stable jobs.
The same thing's gonna happen with Lemon too.
The North Glamrs jobs, they were, you know,
automobile factories, some of those lines,
other manufacturing jobs, but they were respected,
they were stable, and they could support a family.
That's another really big component
that a lot of people might not realize
is that people had a manufacturing job
where they would put bumpers on Fords.
And this guy made what would be equivalent
to the over $100,000 a year.
This is a guy, it's like you go back and you watch old sitcoms and it's the guy that
works in a factory and he owns a house, a boat, a car, and he has a wife and two kids
and the wife stays at home.
How do you think that happens?
Since then due to technology driven growth, a little bit due to Chinese competition,
you've had a lot of manufacturing firms and the places where they were located,
that were one horse towns, become ghost lands, right?
Like Detroit.
also be a contributing factor.
Median annual wages for men with a high school diploma have fallen from just over $57,600
in 1973 to $45,000 in 2023.
That is a crazy amount.
Like again, like you think about that number?
Like what is the math on that?
It's like almost 20%.
Yeah, it's almost about 20%.
I think about that. 20%. That's crazy. Huge fucking reduction. It's like, if you lose,
if you cut off somebody's leg, that's 20% of their body weight. 20% is massive. Add inflation.
I think this is probably adjusted for inflation. Adjusted for inflation. At the same time,
for those with a bachelor's degree or more have increased by about $6,300 during the same period.
This decline in earnings led to a 44 percent-
Because nobody needs people with no skills and no education anymore.
And this is going to become a bigger problem. Every single year will become a bigger problem.
And eventually in like 20 or 30 years, I think,
I think that we are we are going to be running into a
like existential threat that a person will no longer be able to reasonably expect to gain employment. I
think it's happening because there are so many things that are becoming automated. It's more than
20%. It's a 20% reduction. It should have been a gain 20%. No, no, it's again, that's suggested
for inflation. This is what's going to happen, right? Because like you think about it,
How many of you guys, like I'm 34, how many of you guys remember having your mom take you to the supermarket whenever you were a kid, and 15 aisles were open?
You guys remember that? You go to Albertsons, you go to Walmart, you go to Costco, go to Sam's Club, Publix, right, HEB here in Texas.
Now how many lines are open?
three, maybe like three or like two or three somewhere around there, right? And so that's
what happens. And so where did all of those people go? Well, um, nowhere. They're gone.
Their job's gone. Also think about like whenever I was a kid and I would go to like a McDonald's,
there would be more people behind the counter than there are now. And this is happening
self-checkout. Well, what I'm saying is that self-checkout is a form of automation. And everything is, yeah, it's going to be cost-cutting.
Exactly, yeah, mobile orders, yeah, there's a bunch of stuff, self-service checkout. And so all of these things are done in order to remove people that are unskilled workers from the workforce.
workforce. And another reason is that with unskilled workers, most of them are you're
going to have a high listen. I mean, I thought that I think Taco Bell uses AI to take your
orders now. And the reason why I think that is because they keep getting my order right.
This used to never happen. And now I'm always getting the right food. No, no, something
is wrong here. And I think they're using AI. Wendy's too. Yeah, they're all doing
it. And this is what's happening, Carlos Jr. Yeah. And so, well,
where's that person? What's that person going to do? Now they're
gone. So that's where the issue comes in. That's where the
problem happens. And you're seeing automation and technology
removing unskilled labor jobs from the market at a ratio that
is way faster than those job like it is the difference
between like, sorry, I'm going off on a big tangent here.
But like you can compare this abstractly to the industrial revolution, right?
Because we're having a second revolution.
But the industrial revolution was done as a means to an ends of producing more of a product.
So the goal was not necessarily to reduce the amount of workers.
It was more or less to increase the amount of product.
whereas automation and AI,
the entire purpose of it is to reduce the workforce.
That is the primary goal for something like Flippi.
Flippi is done, he exists,
so McDonald's doesn't have to hire somebody.
It's to reduce costs, it's exactly,
and that's what's happening.
I think that men, and it's especially true with
physical labor jobs like manufacturing,
these were jobs that low education men would always have. And I think that this is also a reason,
too. It's like, again, take a step back. This is the reason why you see such a massive resurgence
of like red pill stuff. This is why you see people like Andrew Tate, Jordan Peterson, and all
these people that are like trying to provide like a world outlook for men. Because now there's
There's no path that an uneducated man is going to be able to take that's going to help him.
Right?
Internet dads, yeah.
Like, there's no light at the end of the tunnel.
There's no way that things are going to get better for this kind of a person.
They're just fucked.
Growth in the exit rate of men without a college degree from the workforce between
1980 and 2019.
I think, honestly, status plays more of a role than wages.
As I said before, you had a manufacturing job.
It was respected, you were part of a community,
breadwinner for your family,
you had organizations like unions and rotary clubs
that surrounded your job, and that's gone.
In general, men without children are also less likely
to participate in the workforce
compared to men with children.
Especially men without education
or training after high school.
What we have, yeah, there's a word for that.
Not in education, training, or technology.
Not in, yeah. Yeah, that's, it's interesting.
The scene is a huge rise in the proportion of prime age men who've never been married,
and a very, very significant decline in the proportion who are currently married and
have kids at home. And those two trends track closely with the big changes that we've
seen about male attachment in the labor force. Correlation isn't always causation, but looking
at that...
It's obviously a factor. Like, I mean, I know plenty of people that are like, yeah, I don't
want to get married or do anything like that because I can't even take care of myself.
Like you're not really in a position, because like this is the thing is that culturally,
like we can all pretend like this isn't the case, but it's been the case for thousands
of years because this is the way the, this is the way our biology is, is that
the man is supposed to provide for the woman. That's the way it works. That's how it works
in almost every single, you know, animal colony, at least of mammals. This is the way it works
for people. This is the way it's worked in pretty much all cultures. And yeah, that's
the reason because women have kids and they're weaker and smaller and men have to provide
for them while they take care of the kids. So if a man can't provide for his wife,
And he's not going to be looking for a life or at least there's a lower probability of
it because like we act like, oh, yeah, we're beyond this.
Oh, we're past this.
No, we're not.
No, we're not.
But biology says that we're not past this.
If you look at the entire like look at the entire history of human beings, 99.999%
of all the time that we have been people.
paradigm has been used. It's not going to go away. That's it. You can't escape nature, yes.
And so if a man can't provide for a family, then he's not going to try to look for a family.
It's that simple. Now, that's not always true. And there's plenty of broke dudes with baby
mom is everywhere. However, overall, it will lead to a decline because the conscientious
ones will decide not to do it.
Meanwhile, 57% of the roughly 10% of men not looking for work said their physical or mental
health was the main reason for not being employed. Would 55% citing a disability, serious illness,
and or receiving disability benefits?
The whole question about the health and the mental health of male workforce dropouts is
an extremely important and I think concerning one.
I think this is again, like the reason why you see like men's, you know, like those alpha
male boot camps that like guys had and like they're all crying in the pool together
and everybody's laughing at them.
The problem is that men are not really,
like they're not given spaces
where they can grow as a person in a way that's healthy.
And I think that they look for spaces like that
and they find it on the internet
or they find it with like different types of like,
these like male like fitness influencers, et cetera.
But like if you think back at like a lot of ancient
cultures and the way that like even our culture
used to be, right?
there was a lot more of a traditional, you know, some form of initiation ritual,
things like the military, things like some form of civil service, like, you know,
the CCC and other types of like new deal things from like the, the forties.
And so there were a lot of other ways that we approached this problem.
And now there really aren't any.
Yeah, there's coming of age rituals. Yeah, exactly. There aren't any.
And the like how to be a man is a question
that apparently nowadays, most people can't answer.
And I think the problem is that like nobody knows that
and the entire popular media is polluted
with basically bad role models.
It is basically like,
and it's not that Andrutate is a bad role model
with everything.
There are a lot of things that Andrutate says
that I think are true, same with Jordan Peterson.
But the problem is that none of them really are
the model character for the person that you want to be.
And I think that's all the issue too,
is because if you don't even know
what your own identity is, how can you go after it?
You see what I'm saying?
And so people like a man has been divorced
from their identity.
They've been divorced from having ownership
over their own body.
They've been divorced from being able
to have any sort of like a future.
And the problem is that you can say,
Oh, we'll just go to college.
I'm going to give you guys the honest truth.
The bottom 20% of intelligence of people
are not going to be able to have jobs
because they're too stupid to make decisions.
They're just stupid.
They're not like you can't just put somebody in Harvard
and then after four years, they're
going to become a neuroscientist.
There are lots of people that are just stupid
and there's no fixing this, right, or at least not right right now.
Yeah, there's no fixing this.
Oh, you can't see that?
No, it's just how it is, right?
It's the bell curve.
It's the same with everything.
There's some people that are seven feet tall
and some people that are four feet tall.
That's the way it is.
Some people with a lot of hair.
Some people without so much.
Some people are really black.
Some people are really white.
That's it.
And so everything is like that.
and uh... you know some people are really smart some people are really stupid
and that's what happens
and i think that's it like there are so many pieces and like ways this comes
together
when the person of college degrees are worthless as well
don't forget that men are also more likely to be addicted to drugs and
alcohol addiction can play a role yet but why are they getting addicted to
drugs and alcohol
i think that they're getting addicted a lot of people that i think it
addicted to substances like that
do it as a form of escape
They do it because they're unhappy with their life.
Now, you obviously have some people that are just,
you know, addicted personalities, just what they do, right?
But I don't think it's as common.
Stressing proportion of the men who are out of the workforce
say they're using pain medications every day.
Jesus Christ.
A 2017 research paper estimates
that an increase in opioid prescription
between 1999 to 2015 led to about 43%
the decline in men's labor force participation rate during that period.
So then you have to ask what sort of because people aren't active anymore, too.
That's another big factor.
Like John F. Kennedy had like a lot of initiatives and things like this to
like get get guys active, especially like high school age guys.
And like back in school, like for a lot of people now, they don't have to do
PE anymore. And so now you have people like the this is again, like going back
to the, like, it's again, return to monkey. Back in the cave man days, men were physically
active all of the time. And I bet how many of you guys, whenever you were a kid, you were
physically active like five hours a day. You were going around, running around, you're out
in the backyard, you're going over to your friend's house, you're riding your bike
around, you're doing all kinds of crazy shit, right? More like eight hours a day,
Yeah, we were all like this and now now you're probably not as much
Well, that's the way that people are supposed to be
Supposed to be and you can see this with like any sort of uncontacted or any sort of
You know older tribe like you go look at an African tribe
They're running around like fucking crazy. They're moving around constantly. None of them are just sitting around doing nothing all day
And so again, it's going back to return to monkey. People have been divorced from the
fulfillment of physical activity. You see what you see? You see what I'm talking about here?
It's about momentum. Yeah, it's about people moving, right? You're moving your body,
you're moving, you're stretching your your arms, right? It's like I like that's one of the
reasons why, like for me, whenever I was having back trouble, I said, I refuse to take painkillers
for this. I will not take painkillers for this. I'm going to exercise in these different
ways because I think the human body is made to move. It's made to heal itself and it's
made to improve. And that's where I hit. And I'm still in the process of doing
that now even. Standing deser goaded, yeah, that's what you do. And if I see a lot of people,
by the way, if you see a lot of people that are exercising, and I'm not talking about body
builders that like die of like heart complications, but I'm talking about like people that are
physically fit and physically active. Those people live to be 90. Those are the ones
that live a really long time. The ones that are physically active. Yeah, take
activity. Yeah, exactly. Fight club was right. Well, in some ways, right? But like what I'm saying is
that that's that's a huge factor. And I think also like, then like being fat or being out of shape,
like then this creates a feedback loop of of not having confidence because I'm fat, I'm ugly,
I'm skinny, I'm ugly, I don't look right. Now I can't really get a girlfriend. Now
people don't like me as much, right? And so you see how like all of this has created like
a perfect storm for men to completely lose any form of identity they have. That's what I think
has happened. And it's actually such an existential spiritual problem, but it manifests in like very
physical ways. Like for example, being fat, or not being able to have a job, or not having a
a girlfriend. But all of these are symptoms of a spiritual disease. I know this sounds
like I'm using kind of like big, big terms here, but I really do think this is what's
happening.
Are we talking about, are we talking about physical pain? Are we talking about metaphysical
pain. There's an enormous amount of depression, mental health challenges that men in this group
face. Yeah, but why do they get depression? No, that's the question. Because like, yeah,
being able to acknowledge that it's mental health and depression, great, true. Yeah, right?
But like, why? This is a chicken and egg question. Yeah. Did you drop out because you were
feeling sad? Are you sad because you dropped out and you're living on the couch?
Unemployment is really terrible for people's well-being. Often people adapt to all kinds of...
I think a lot of people, it's probably that there isn't a social support network for them either way.
There's not a support network for them being in school and there's also not a support network
for them to get back into school or education in another form, right, like trade. Men don't
have that sadly. Yeah, and I think that's one of the big issues. And I think that there,
That's why there's like a growing resentment.
I think a lot of men have towards women, which is women, it seems like have a lot more
like social structures and social like networks that exist for their benefit
that men don't really have access to.
I think it's a huge problem.
Negative shocks, losing a kid, being widowed, whatever,
and eventually kind of come back.
but long term unemployment is one of the worst things in terms of that. So what you have is a
kind of scarring effect and it's worse for men because their identity is much more wrapped up
in their role as a worker. Well, of course, the reason why a man's identity is wrapped up as a
role as a worker, again, I feel like I'm, you know, like I'm saying the obvious thing that
nobody can acknowledge is true. It's because a man is expected to take care of his family
and provide for a family. A woman's not expected to do that in the same way. That's because of
biology. You're not going to rewrite this. It's not going to change next week. There's not going
to be a law written that makes this better. This is the way that people are hardwired and programmed
down to a genetic level. So the reason why men being divorced from the ability to earn a living
is an existential spiritual problem is because the ability to earn a living is their ability
to reproduce. Fundamentally, declining workforce participation could potentially leave a lasting
impact on the American economy. It means slower growth of the economy, obviously. It means
bigger wealth gaps within our society. It certainly will have an impact on our productivity
and probably already is. The US has been experiencing a severe shortage in labor. This
is going to keep getting worse, by the way. Missing 1.7 million Americans from
the workforce compared to February 2020. The McKinsey Global Institute estimates that
US GDP could have been 296 to $442 billion higher in 2023 if the country had been able
to fill its job vacancies. However, some experts suggest the impacts of men leaving or never
entering the workforce could be more sector specific.
You need young men also people not getting paid enough fucking money, right?
Like if you like oh, yeah, you want to go work at McDonald's and be called a loser by basically
Everybody in society and get paid a shit wage and have to do one of the hardest jobs like I'm sorry
but like
Streaming is hard in a lot of ways, but I feel like there's almost no fucking job that's harder than working in a kitchen
That's my opinion
Like I had to work in a kitchen before for a very very short period of time. I've got my
I've got my name tag for it right here and
It was absolutely fucking awful
I couldn't imagine living like that regularly like I quit immediately basically
Oil rig. Well, the thing is if you're working on an oil rig, you're probably getting paid, you know
$180,000 a year, right? So you're getting huge money. So like
Like, yeah, yeah, obviously, like this is very dangerous.
It's scary, but you're getting paid a lot of money.
Again, why are you- Not really?
How much does a rough, rough neck make on an oil rig?
Okay.
So it's looking like the average is $47 a year, and the salary for the top 10 cities
is all over a hundred and ten thousand dollars
forty seven oh sorry
not forty seven dollars a year uh... that that's for making like you
uh...
uh... over in malaysia on the note forty seven dollars an hour
these those people going
for specific unique young men coming in wanting to replace those people going
out and so men i think this is another factor is that now that we have
better health services and we have better health in general. Boomers are staying in and older Gen X
are staying in the workforce longer than people that were before them were staying in the workforce
as well because they maintain health for a longer period of time. Primarily been in more manual labor
or blues guild and skilled trades. If they're older and they're leaving in the retirement and
And there's not as many young men coming in both because of declining cohort sizes, but
moving in a different direction type of careers, we're going to be losing that sector of productivity.
Despite a steep rise in federal funding, the infrastructure sector hasn't been able to
find enough workers.
With the construction workforce shortage surpassing half a million in 2024.
We are a little concerned about the impact in inflation is going to have and has had
on the movement of infrastructure dollars
into the actual productive activity.
Having a shortage of men in construction
is going to raise a problem.
The trend could have a dire social and political impact
as well.
It'll get worse in ways that we would not like.
I mean, I think it would lead to more.
Increase the pay.
Well, the problem is like it will inflation effectively
is doing the opposite.
So it's like, you know, there are a lot of guys
that work like my understanding of construction,
which is like kind of disconnected,
is that if you're like on the ground,
you're probably making okay money,
but the foreman is making pretty good money
and the guy that the foreman answers to
is making really good money
and the guy above that is like a millionaire.
So like construction does have a lot of money in it,
but again, the guy that's above the guy
that's above the foreman,
that guy is like a top,
probably a top 10% intelligence person.
So like if you're in that bottom 20%
and you're kind of stupid,
you're never gonna make it up that ladder.
It's just not gonna happen.
Not all in the top 10?
Not all.
Well, I mean, like in general, right?
You're going to have people,
like there is clearly a correlation
between high-status jobs and jobs that require,
you know, like a lot of thinking and intelligence,
right, and IQ.
Like that, fucking obviously.
Construction is hard on the body though,
not enough young people want to do that to themselves. I think so. I think more people
would do it if it paid more. Definitely. Nepotism overrides everything in scale. Look, listen,
there's always going to be factors that are out of your control. But if you want to talk
about that, you're right. But I'm talking about averages. If you want to look at
averages here, those guys that are millionaires or, you know, they're very close to it
through construction these people are not stupid
they are not stupid people they're not like some dumbass
idiot like these are people that understand a lot of shit
but your deaths and but it will also likely lead to
radicalization and polarization because this is a frustrated left behind group
with no options yeah
there are problems that government can address they'll never have a solution
and men that are unskilled will become increasingly less worthwhile and important
and that we will be entering in a time where a person's value is basically
the value of their body parts sooner than later
as these jobs become less and less possible to do.
That's what's happening. They're not coming back, they're not going to be back.
The only way that they could come back is if we had some sort of neofutilism serfdom.
That's it some problems that government can't address one of the first functions that beats out policy is
Economic growth you have a strong economy
You're gonna have increased wage structure is gonna bring people back into the market more than a quarter of prime H men
That's I don't think that's true. I think that's not true anymore at least
Because the jobs that are being added into the workforce are very high skill and very technical
It's not like we're having like a lot of infrastructure that needs to be built, right?
A lot of like unskilled jobs like, yeah, there is job growth, but it's in jobs that are highly
technical or jobs that are extremely demanding like construction.
Not looking for work cited insufficient pay as a reason preventing them from work.
And nearly half said competitive pay, salary, compensation and or bonuses was a very important
factor when considering whether to enter or return to the workforce.
Yeah, because a man in our society, if you don't make a lot of money, you're considered
to be a loser.
That's one of the most, the biggest indicators of success in our culture is money.
For the young, better training, skills training, better, post some form of post high school
education, encouraging that, maybe even subsidizing that, I think part of the mental
youth mental health crisis has to do with what's next,
what's I gonna do, what am I gonna do,
are there any stable jobs, I can't afford college,
all those questions all come together.
And so models that help them kind of give them
a jumpstart can be really effective ways of intervening.
And they're actually now really promising programs
in high schools, which teach kids financial literacy.
They teach them about equitable entrepreneurship.
They teach them about how do you foster better
mental health as part of the workplace.
And it seems to inspire kids to go on to college, right?
Because they sort of see a pathway
where they didn't see it before.
29th.
I do want to say that the problem that I'm talking about
where it's like dumb people
that won't be able to find employment
because there are no jobs,
this is an insolvable problem.
You're not going to be able to educate this out of them.
Like it's just not gonna happen.
So, but like there are a lot of people
that are not part of that
are still affected by this, and it does help them.
Percent of men out of the labor force said that training and educational programs was
another important factor in considering a return to the workforce.
Having the type of commitment from the employer to train and retain and offer upward mobility
for workers I think will be very important.
I think that upward mobility and the lack thereof is a really big factor.
And I think that now that the internet has given people an extra level of awareness,
I think that you see now how much nepotism and how much unfairness there is in the workforce
and in life.
So when you see how this happens all the time, it serves as a massive, massive, massive
demotivator.
Now, obviously, you still have to do that.
You clearly have to.
And you can succeed despite that.
But seeing people succeed when they don't deserve it is very demotivating for a lot
of average guys.
Yeah, that's it really is awful, me being a personal victim to it.
Yeah, I mean, and I think that it happens to everybody and it's not even just like there's
also like, there's like, okay, like I've seen plenty of memes and it's like, okay,
you're at a construction, you know, it's construction worksite.
And it's like the, you know, it shows like all the different guys that are working there.
It's like the old guy that's like working, he's doing his best, the young guy who's like
kind of stupid.
And then it shows like it's like the foreman's son and he's like this, you know, like, I
I get it, right?
I definitely get it.
And so like you see that happen and then guess what, yeah, in the car, right?
Yeah, he's sitting in the car.
That's, that's obviously extremely demotivating.
And so as a guy, when you see that happen and you feel like you don't have these
advantages for yourself then you know what the fuck are you gonna do and it's a massive
demotivator and I'm not saying like because obviously like you have to keep working even
though that's true like it's not an excuse to just stop working but for a lot of people
it's a pretty big reason that's how postal service works working for mom and dad I think
that there's a lot of things like this.
You're out more about career pathways in the labor market and not just the education side
So how is it that someone moves from first job next job the best job exactly help people
Understand and navigate nearly it's like if if there's no light at the end of the tunnel
Don't be surprised that people don't want to get in the tunnel
Fucking obviously
Quarter of working Americans said they weren't satisfied with their growth opportunities in the workplace
I'm surprised it's not more
compared to other old CD countries that on average spend 0.1% of their GDP on training their workers
The US spent only 0.03% of their GDP on job training in 2022
Older age groups is tougher
You know, you're probably not gonna get these guys to retrain but you can get there are a lot of programs that have
Largely been pioneered in the UK much more than here
that we're starting to pick up on them,
that literally just try and reboot community activities.
This is something that was very popular
in like the 40s with FDR.
He did this a lot and it was like generally,
even now like it's looked back on as a positive, right?
It is.
And somebody said, let me see if I can read this real
quick, I don't know where it was, but yeah.
Somebody said basically if you think other people
success is your failure than you deserve to fail. That's not true. Like if you have one
promotion that's at your office and the person that gets it gets it for a reason they shouldn't
have gotten it for, there is absolutely a zero sum environment that you operate in.
To say otherwise is so disingenuous. Absolutely it is a zero sum environment with a lot there
is scarcity of everything. And if somebody gets something, in a lot of cases, it means
you're not getting it. That's just how it is.
Get these isolated people in despair out of their houses. It can make a difference.
Social programs like disability benefits spark contentious debate.
It's very controversial. People have very strong opinions about this. While we don't
know why it is happening, you can be pretty clear that the social welfare programs are
helping in the disability programs.
It's a cultural issue too.
I think a lot of it for men is a cultural issue.
We're like, like there's always discussions around toxic masculinity, all the things that
men are doing wrong.
It's popular in media to have men look like idiots and sitcoms.
There are advantages and programs that are existent
for the benefit of women, but not for men.
There are a lot of things, like,
especially if you're a young guy,
you feel like the odds are stacked against you.
And I think that's true.
Like, there's a lot of massive disadvantages
that men have.
Being a man's very hard.
I mean, I've said before,
I'm so glad I'm a guy and not a girl, right?
Like, I'm so glad I would not wanna be a girl, right?
I think it's worse, but as a young guy, especially, like I'm 34 now, right?
So like, I'm not in that part of my life anymore.
But as a guy who's 20, think about the opportunities that women have when they're 20 and think
about the opportunities that men have whenever they're 20.
They're very different.
And for a lot of you guys, how many of you guys are like around my age and you've
seen that pendulum swing, right?
We're like, there are those women that you knew in high school, maybe your college that,
you know, we're getting all these advantages and benefits and now they're not anymore.
And there's men now that are doing very well.
Yeah, exactly.
I've seen it.
I see it right.
And like the thing is that like, but a young man, a 20 and 19 year old guy isn't going
to see that.
He's not going to see that because he had it like that's, he's not, he's not
40 yet.
He's not 35 is not 30 yet.
So that's the problem.
game go up, there it is. Yeah, men have really good late game scaling.
Helping to finance this situation in a way that was never originally intended.
A 2018 analysis by the Joint Economic Committee, that 64% of prime age men who aren't working
are receiving some sort of government assistance.
So the one benefit that they rely heavily on is disability insurance. One because they
They often are unable to work if they have a physical injury or high levels of addiction
or whatever, but it also provides health insurance, which is huge.
Very much against the initial intentions of the founders of the program.
They've ended up with a perverse situation that too often subsidizes or even incentivizes
helplessness and long-term dependence.
If we thought that...
It's inevitable.
I don't think that there's any way around having some sort of universal basic income.
I feel like it is inevitable.
We either have to have that or we have to kill a bunch of people.
Like most people basically.
We can't afford it.
Well then you have to kill them.
Because like if you don't kill them then they'll kill you.
Because they don't have any money they have nothing to lose.
That's just what's gonna happen.
Well, no I'm just saying like that's just what's what's gonna happen.
Like you can't have a massive underclass of people that has no purchasing power that effectively
is a slave class.
This is a recipe for disaster.
Like it is.
Like it's not going to work.
Isn't that scary?
I'm just saying like that's what's going to happen.
Causes civil unrest.
Think about how it was in 2020 with all those riots.
About the system in which we had a work first principle where the incentives were
for getting the train French Revolution filter French Revolution was against the royalty versus
aristocracy that's it's it was not the French Revolution was not the poor people going killing
the rich people it was the rich people killing the royalty and then showing up the job and
staying at the job I think we'd be in a lot better place than we are today however some
about whether altering the benefits program will lead to meaningful results.
I think until we deal with the deeper problem of ill health,
ill mental health, these guys aren't going to respond to incentives.
Everybody is responsible for their, you know, for their brothers.
Everybody is responsible for their neighbors and their friends.
No, they're not.
And we ourselves at SOTASOUS can't help to shine a spotlight on this.
this. It shouldn't be America's invisible problem. And the more that we talk about it,
the more that we pay attention to it, the closer we get to turning this around.
I'm going to be honest. This is going to be very, very toxic masculinity.
I think that we indulge people's mental health too much.
I think that we listen to how people feel too much. Suck it the fuck up and deal with it.
be a fucking man.
Stop being a bitch.
I don't know when the idea of being stoic and working hard and being able to control yourself and rise above your emotions was seen as a bad thing.
But enabling that type of behavior just creates losers.
That's it.
Yep, losers lose. That's right.
Something like me. Yep.
My difficulty too high need easy mode. I guess so. Yeah. And I think also like if you if you hold people to like low standards, you're going to have them meet those standards. This was a good video. I think that the problem is that any sort of mainstream publication that talks about this topic always has to talk around the topic.
they're always talking around the topic and they're not understanding and really digging deep into like the cultural problems that men face and how those cultural problems contrive the way a male sees the world.
Because it's massive, right? It's like if you're a guy, you're going on dating apps and like you just can't, you can't get a girlfriend, you can't get a job, you feel like life is against you.
It sucks.
Yeah, it's absolutely bad.
And so, and the problem also is like media, I think does a very bad job at
Presenting positive real male role models because there's a lot of issues where it's like what is being a man?
What is being masculine? Nobody fucking knows
That's the problem
Please do an actual day of labor ten minutes. You're dead
What you're typing a lot like I can see that like you're you're really butthurt about this
What about what I said in this video has upset you?
What are you upset about?
Yeah, I want to understand this.
No, I just want to get it because you've been disagreeing in chat for a while.
The Wikipedia citation, hi chat.
Okay, hi.
Okay, so what do you got?
Now do you have to get work to get by?
I mean, yeah, let's put some moves around a spot and waste a bunch of time.
Well, the problem is that the reason why I bring people like this up is that I think people like this
have opinions that other people in the chat have.
And I think working through this opinion with one person addresses opinions that a lot of other
people have in chat. That's the reason why I do it. If that makes sense.
When chat is maxed over a good point, so chat is forced to accept responsibility around
life. A lot of people don't like accepting responsibility. That's the issue. I'll give
them a couple more minutes and I want to move on. If this isn't going to happen, then I'm
not going to worry about it. Given your scenario of free money to lower skilled workers, why
would higher skilled workers work if they know half their money is given to people
that aren't working? Oh, because they'd have a higher quality of life, right? They
they would still have a higher, like is it,
but it's very simple, like cost benefit analysis, right?
Where it's like, if you feel like working
isn't giving you the life that you want, why would you work?
Very simple, extremely fucking simple.
60% of people are poor working class.
It's not about responsibility.
What's your point?
I don't really know what you're trying,
what are you trying to get at?
I'm really confused.
Yeah, I don't know what you mean by that.
A guy can't even spell right?
Well, I mean, there's a lot of people.
I mean, maybe it's a typo, right?
I'm not sure.
But like, I will say that I think that as a man,
there is too much of an offsetting of problems.
And I think this is true with women as well.
But I think that with men, like, I don't really,
I don't know about women's problems.
I'm not a woman, right?
I can talk about as a man.
There is such a huge component of a lot of these like online dads and a lot of like, you know, media that is basically taking the agency away from you.
It's saying that society is rigged against you. It's saying that things are not what they should be. Oh, things aren't fair for you, etc.
And the problem is that every single thing that those people are saying is true.
That's the issue. Is that every single one of those things is true, but the focus is wrong.
Because like there's every single thing like obviously is going to be against you in some circumstances.
But if you don't overcome it, you die.
So spending all of your time thinking about how hard it is doesn't help anybody.
It doesn't improve anything. It just basically indulges people in doing what they're already doing.
already doing, it's enabling. And I think that's what a lot of self help on the internet
really is. Is it's enabling bad behavior, wages are the same since the age? Okay, this
is just like, I'm not going to read this anymore. It's just stupid. Anyway, so it enables
bad behavior. So yourself, yeah, I'm not, yeah, I'm not even talking about him anymore.
It's just, it's not even a ban. Like I just, I don't, I don't even know what to do
with that guy. It's not empowering focusing on it. Right. Exactly. And so like,
me the way that I look at everything is that I try to see everything and every bad thing
that happens to me, I view it as being my fault. Like that that that is the way I start
my investigation into a problem. I think how did I cause this to happen? Because that
takes the locus of control and it puts it on your side of the court. That gives
you the agency. Now you have control. You see what I'm saying? And I think also there
are times that you can work backwards from that and come to the conclusion that it actually
wasn't your fault and you didn't do anything wrong. But that's not the good way to start.
And I think that nowadays a lot of self-help is about teaching people different pleasant
versions of learned helplessness. It's everything is okay. You know, oh, well, you know, like
the world is against you. And so that's why you're failing. Oh, well, men have it harder.
That's why you're failing. And there's always some sort of external force that's holding
you down. I think this is what happens with identity politics too. It's like, well,
you know, the reason why you can't get a job is because they're giving all your
jobs to women and trans people. Like, yeah, I'm sure that happens sometimes, but there's
plenty of people that look like you have a job too. So why aren't you one of them? Right?
And so a lot of times the problem is that a lot of these lies are based. What? What do
you mean? What? It's absolutely true. What are we talking about? Like, I mean, listen,
I like just talking about things directly. I don't like talking around them. I don't
like using euphemisms i don't like using pleasantries
i try to just speak fucking plain english right
and in plain english that's what it fucking is that's the way people think
and so yeah i'm not but no beating around the bush exactly
you don't understand the south african situation of rain would explode chopped
i do not want to understand that fuck that
working class have been disenfranchised from work
well the reason why the working class have been disenfranchised from
work is because
uh... they're not getting paid for it
uh... like if you look at productivity and what a person has to do now
versus what they had to do thirty years ago
you have to do way more work and you're getting paid less money
why the fuck would you want to do that
it's not even a question
sorry about that
shut up by the way uh... jen andy was up and realize the release the claim on
act man's video
let me see
do we have a resolution to this
my copyright claim on the debate with andy pants has been released you can
once again watch the full debate
with comments enabled
what's up everybody this is the act man here recently i did
good ending
w for andy for taking it back
good
for sure
he shouldn't have done it
stupid decision
Hopefully he learns from it.
Keep making videos. Don't do it again.
You know?
Check Andy's tweet? Sure.
Um...
Andy in chat? I don't know if he's in chat or not.
Uh, I mean, maybe he watched what I said. I have no idea.
Uh...
Where'd it go?
Fuck.
Give me a minute. Sorry.
I have to find it.
Andy lost so bad. I'm not sure. I didn't watch it.
Give me a minute.
Where the hell did this go?
Oh my god, I'm such a big idiot. I'm such a big dumb idiot. Where is it? There it is
So what did he say I retracted the request my logic was why is he uploading my entire video?
He should be linking to mine, but I learned today that it's a pretty big deal. I'm new to all this apologies
okay, um
This is a horrible thing you good you at least flip-flopped on doing the right thing after making a mistake. Yeah
Now, this is my perspective.
I know that a lot of people really might not agree with this.
But if somebody admits defeat, I let them move on.
Because if you don't let somebody move on from admitting defeat, there is no reason
for them to admit defeat.
You see what I'm saying?
Why would somebody want to, you know, resolve something if even when you resolve it, they're
still going to get harassed and attacked?
You remove the reason for them to do that.
It's not even about mercy or being a good person.
It's just logic.
It is cold logic.
No exterminate your enemies.
Well, you can't do that in this circumstance, right?
You like, obviously that's the best case scenario, but you can't do that usually.
Making peace with our opponents.
It's not about making peace.
It's about allowing them to move past it.
You're right, but I'm petty.
That doesn't mean that you have to forget it
and you have to think that they're great after that.
But acknowledging that the resolution was good
and then being able to move past it is fine.
That doesn't mean that you forget it.
Diplomacy, yes, you have to be diplomatic.
This is good that Andy did this.
It's great.
I'm really glad that he did it.
Good.
Great, this is the good ending.
It's the good ending and everybody's happy.
I wish Quantum could have done that.
Redeemed for now, yes.
But now he's a soft backtracking bitch.
It's better to be a backtracking bitch
than to be a copy striking bitch.
And also he did backtrack
and he probably backtracked
because a lot of people pushed back on him.
That's probably what happened.
That's totally fine.
And that's good. He acknowledged you did something wrong. He changed it and now it's done
Okay, let's move on
Good for him. Let's see if I can look at the rest of this
Muslim family as we go all to our phone post versus
Okay, the guy deleted it. Oh boy, um I
Oh God, I don't know what that was originally a little trolling from Ubisoft
What is this? I don't even know what it is.
A matrix looks like a million bucks. This is really good. That's why. Absolutely.
Stolen balls. Jesus. Yeah, I've seen this before.
Let's see here.
HTML element. Oh, I'm not going to worry about it too much.
But, like, yeah, it's just in general, I...
Listen, I try to be...
I try to be open-minded. I'm glad.
I think that it's actually very surprising to me that so many people from like the Middle East watch me
Like I it's not even like for like a specific reason. It's just like crazy to think that you know
But yeah, I've seen a lot of people that told me they're like from like Saudi or like some shit some shit like that, right?

The mother's really weak.
I mean, she just doesn't know how.
The thing is that like most people,
like you don't know how to talk to somebody,
not showering to any socialist, fuck.
The thing is that,
like I can look at this dude, I know he smells bad,
but you know that, that's a fact.
Like absolutely, you can even see like,
because I know what it's like
if you wear a shirt like this.
He's probably worn this shirt every day for like two weeks.
I know what it looks like.
A lot of people don't know what it looks like.
wore a shirt for two weeks. I do. And he worn this shirt for two weeks. Yeah. That's
a mom thing. More than a friend. That's my problem. I don't know, man. And it smells
like it's unwashed. Yeah, 100%, man. But 19 days, I've worn shirts for a month, man.
I have. Absolutely. Hasn't showered for ages. She's so fucking stupid, man. Do
you view your religion to be better than other religions? How does it feel to be
wrong in your belief. I have no idea. I guess that's the guy, man. Yeah, it's my dust? I
guess so. Yeah, base Bishop Baron. It's so fucking funny, man.
A piece of chicken out of criticism? I guess so, right? What is this? Qualifications for
... Oh, yeah. All the things that make you gay. Bro, I read this, this shit was
so fucking funny. Being a Democrat, notices what girls are wearing, gossips, listens to
Lana Del Wray, uses an umbrella, attracted to muscular women, splits the bill on dates,
gets offended, drinks oat milk, has gay face, very real, hates Donald Trump, hates Elon
Musk, scared of bugs, scolds men with high sex drives, lets his girlfriend drive, argues
with women, defeatist and depressing, asks for consent, listens to musicals, waiting
for marriage, picky eater, shows weakness, vegan, overly religious, doesn't drink against
gun ownership, doesn't own tools, doesn't know how to fight, doesn't know how to
swim politically correct cares about age gaps drives the speed limit so do you
remember what I was saying before about how guys how guys didn't really they
don't have a what do you call it they don't have like a like a good role
model like nobody knows what it's like like what what is being a guy nowadays
yeah that's what I was this is what I was talking about right here driving
safely isn't getting it's nuts let me see if I can look at the rest of this
fuck oh yeah there there are mods now for black myth will come I shall
certainly take revenge and they uh-oh go this grand theft out of six goes
It's hard.
There it is, boys.
Oh my god.
Yeah, we might have to replay this game.
Yeah, so Andreas Bors, I guess so.
Holy fuck, just like in the ancient scripture?
Yeah, this is just like I remember it.
Should have a baseball bat, yeah, something like that.
I don't even know.
Let's see here.
Oh yeah, Star Wars theory.
The guy who's a video I watched the other day
actually said thank you for watching the video.
who's very positive about my reaction.
And so I was happy to see that.
I know that there were some people that were unhappy
about the fact that I didn't believe things right off the rip.
I try to be as a, as the Acolyte,
cause cause Star Wars fan dam,
I try to be as critical as I can be.
And I don't like to assume things.
I feel like every time that you assume things,
then you always kind of fuck yourself up.
Yeah, Star Wars 3 is a good dude.
He does seem to be a good dude.
Yeah, he does.
And so, yeah, he liked the reaction.
I was really glad about that.
And there it is.
So, Paul Thastis Pussy, I think that he needs to,
like you can't like,
if you wanna write an article about your opinion
on something, then I think that's totally fine.
But if you're gonna write an article
and like base it off of like kind of what you think
or anything like that,
then you're gonna have kind of a bad time.
I think you're going to have a bad time.
And in general, if you're trying to present yourself
as an unbiased source, and then you do things
that make people think that you're biased,
they're not going to trust you.
That's it.
It's literally that simple.
Yeah, I don't know what to say.
Like, yeah, it won't be opposed to unless you're him.
Yeah, I'm just saying, like, that's what it is.
When a curse farms in review, I don't know.
Ross, Ross actually messaged me.
to talk to him. I got it like last night. I was like sleeping very early and so I ended
up not being able to respond, but I will. I didn't know what guys faced. We mentioned
potassium. I have an example. Well, I don't think it's really like, it's not really about
that. It's a problem in journalism in general. Like it's just one specific thing. Let me
see if I can find some of this other stuff that I was going to look at here. This
was crazy. So this is the kind of stuff that I think makes people hate journalism.
Oh my god. Okay, let me close that. Close this. So a Maryland man is accusing his local Chick-fil-A
of racism after he received his to-go order with the name Monkeys on it. Marquise went through
the drive-thru and ordered chicken strips, fries, and a nice tea and lemonade drink
When an employee called out the order for monkeys instead of Marquis, Venizgo, who was black, was
shocked to learn it was his. Your heart has that little sting into it. You start to think of the
other incidents that have occurred and you heard about on the news with racial profiling.
Venizgo spoke with the on-duty manager who apologized and offered to refund his order
and then he said, I'm going to write a letter to corporate about this. This is very
offensive he told the manager in a video of the conversation that he shared
on instagram let's take a look at it here
i'm about to go inside
there's a cheap filet down here in the platter
talk to this guy
he was at the drive-thru
how you doing?
if the guy who was at the drive-thru who wrote monkeys on my receipt can see it out of there
nobody can answer my question
I just realized he asked the question and then they're like did you call this guy a monkey he's like no
They didn't even respond to them. They just ignored him. Oh my god
Damn they ignored me. I said is the guy who wrote monkeys on my receipt to see available. I want to talk to him
I'm sorry, I can't have you see me right now.
Is he still here?
I'm going to make sure that this video goes down.
Uh-huh, right.
And so what we have here is a Karen.
We have an actual Karen who's going around trying
to get Chick-fil-A in trouble because somebody
misheard his name.
He also shared the video.
The money went inside the store.
Some social media commenters suggested
the drive-through intercom system was to blame
for the offensive misprint.
He told today that he placed his order directly with a young white male who was standing outside taking, uh, taking store orders and right.
Okay. So the guy that works with a bunch of black people at this chick filet thought it would be a good idea to randomly call a black person a monkey in the middle of his job.
That's crazy.
And also he's alone in the car, but the name is plural with monkeys.
You see that?
So how does that make any sense?
To think about this just for two or three fucking seconds.
Seems like an honest mistake.
It's an obvious fucking mistake.
It's obvious.
Yes, Samson were to his in.
Marquis, Monkeys, yes, sure.
He fucked it up.
It's nuts, man.
Look at his name.
Yes.
And so a store owner told them that he was not terminating the employee because
they were under the age of 18.
Benzigos was also told that the employee had written down the name they heard.
The Chick-fil-A has independently franchised and operated this restaurant as apologized to
the guest.
However, experience doesn't matter.
Expectations are acceptable.
Yeah, obviously it's a mistake, right?
Benzigos said he hoped the employee was to become more socially aware after the incident.
I understand he's a young man.
He's seven years old and he used to their consequences when you do things like that.
i believe that you should be held accountable for what he's done
thank fucking god
this annoying retard karen
looking for trouble
every problem is a nail when you're a hammer
no every single time that there's something that could be portrayed as
races but that's not necessarily that they're being racist but what's that
it's so fucking annoying for me to see this
and chic filet absolutely made the right decision
They did not fire the guy, nothing happened.
Like they're not like, oh wow,
like we're so sorry this happened to you.
It was clearly a fucking mistake.
Some stupid kid wrote down the wrong name.
Like I'm sorry, but there's a good chance
that a 17 year old kid might not even understand
the monkey thing to begin with.
Like that's not really as popular nowadays.
Leave the kid alone.
Yeah, it's like there's a consequence for this.
Fucking relax.
So yeah, everybody is supporting Chick-fil-A with this because the guy lied to order his
food on the app and tried to pull a just as small it.
I'm not sure if that's what happened.
He said he's on a drive-through, right?
And so it's hard to say.
Idiot ordered it from the app and put his name as Monkeys to create this event.
I don't even know.
Next time is Nick.
Yeah, next time they need to put this guy's name down as Karen.
Watch the video.
What do you think is happening do you really think that the black manager wants like you
You really think that like she's like in cahoots with this, this like kid?
A monkey, calm a monkey, cause he's black.
Do it, do it, do racism.
What kind of a fucking retard thinks like this?
Who the fuck does this?
Nobody, nobody thinks like this.
It's crazy how stupid these people are, how stupid and self-important.
Unbelievable.
You'd be surprised, kids still do that, I'm sure sometimes they do.
But to act like that's what was happening is crazy.
I'm sure sometimes it's happened, of course.
And the issue is that, see here's the problem, is that with every guy that does something
like this, people take actual instances of racism less seriously because they see
somebody saying some bullshit, and now people's barrier to being like, oh wow, is this bad
or not, is now a whole lot higher.
No care if it's not even real, exactly.
And so yeah, they hear that, and they're like, oh, is it another one of these circumstances
and they don't believe it.
You remember the 90s where racism was basically gone?
I was a kid then, right?
But it seemed that way, but I was also a kid.
So imprensiation of his name is also what the kid wrote for fuck's sake.
I mean, look, I mean, who cares?
Like it obviously wasn't on purpose.
Like it wouldn't even make sense.
Like he ordered it.
Like, I mean, it's only one guy in the car.
Why would he use that would mean there's more than one person monkeys.
There's more than one monkey.
It's just him in the car.
Think about it.
Like just think about this for like two seconds as a kid, as far as an issue back in the 90s,
but of course it still exists.
Yeah, yeah.
There's always going to be issues where it happens, like, exactly.
And this is about, think about who, who name is Monkey.
I mean, I don't know.
I'm just saying in general.
We can say it's not the first time that happened, probably not even his name, just
wanting to start shit.
Absolutely trying to start shit.
Absolutely starting to start trouble.
But yeah, very good decision from Chick-fil-A.
guy didn't get canceled and get in trouble. There's not a consequence for this. It's not
a big deal. Just grow the fuck up and calm down.
So basically, apparently this guy I was informed this morning after two weeks of no contact
that I in fact no longer have residents in Kotaku as a staff editorialist. I learned
about this from the head honcho. While I'd be disappointed, this allows me to turn
back and focus on the non-profit that I'm excited to do. Gamers Anonymous for
gamer gators trying to break the cycle of hate, right? Okay, so this guy got removed,
former Kotaku staff. So this is what's happening. Remember what I was saying before about how
these companies are going to be dropping people and letting them to go? Kotaku or Porta got
let go after launching Fnxmere campaign. They stopped talking to him two weeks ago.
They're probably unrelated. But realistically, this is what's going to happen. Does
this guy play any games? Do I play games? Maybe. I don't know. Like probably not
today though, I don't know why people like it's always weird how twitch viewers are like they get
focused like oh go play video games twitches for video games you have to play video games that's not
what's going to happen sorry to say yep that's it i know i banned him i did i already did he's
permanent uh but yeah anyway uh trolls derailing i think so they're fucking with you well they
can but they're just gonna they're only gonna be able to do it once right and so yeah uh i think
kataku and places like kataku are going to increasingly become like they're
just gonna have to keep firing more and more people like because I can guarantee
you they're not making enough money that's a big it's a big big issue right
is a massive issue this podcast alright yeah but that's later on not now
though this bureau referring to kataku guy why don't know maybe he was if he
he is, he'll get on band appeal.
So YouTube is actively protecting these people, by the way.
So there is a new campaign that some serial complainers
on the internet have started about getting YouTube
de-platformed or getting people taken down from YouTube
because they've had the audacity
to criticize the Dragon Age character creator.
And so YouTube is actively protecting these people.
So YouTube actually responded to this and they said jumping in we'll look into this and handle the next steps from here
In the future you can flag videos or channels that you think are violating our policies
So there is a massive cancel pig campaign going on against youtubers myself and others Ryan kennel is being targeted right now
They're going after his channel, but this shit doesn't work anymore. It just backfires on them
The reason we all think Dragon Age character creator promotes mental illnesses of fetish
That's why everyone is under attack right now because the mentally ill are upset
And this has started happening and I'll go ahead and I'll look at this here
The person behind rerun and Ripley is once again
Retweeting somebody trying to de-platform youtubers that they don't agree with
In word of advice you might want to stop. You're making it way too easy. So this is another
Another instance. This is what these people do
They're trying to bully YouTube into
demonetizing and banning accounts because they are going against the narrative.
That's why this Twitter dumbass talking to a bot. Yeah, exactly. That's what's happening.
YouTube's worse. I mean, YouTube isn't going to do anything. I almost can guarantee you.
YouTube doesn't care about this problem. They don't want to moderate it. They don't
want to have anything to do with it. But I do hope that people can obviously, you
know, shit on this. People literally did report them and you all did nothing and
She's complaining that nothing happened and what a big surprise that a probably well, let's go ahead and let's find their account
Cocoa Fox 203 just I can pull it up here. I'm just wondering if they've listed their mental disabilities on their probably self-diagnosed mental disabilities
On their on their Twitter profile picture
Let's see here
No, actually not
Let's see here
Yep, this is the this is the mind of a person like this
There we go. Probably a fucking furry. This guy was partially losing for highlighting bad
content creators needs to be spelt out apparently. That's right. So you have an account that is
dedicated to complaining about people. This is Crucify Him. It's so fucking good. What
is this? So at the beginning of the movie, James Earl Jones shows up and kills everybody
in his village and then Conan grows up and he wants to get revenge and now the warlord
that he was he's moved on beyond this and he was like yeah I used to do a lot of that
what was a really big deal in your life was to stay for me I guess that's why I killed
your family but that's not who I am anymore anyway yeah I'll see you later I'm gonna
go do something else. It was fucking amazing. Imagine that? Yeah, it was so fucking good,
man. Conan the Barbarian. It was at the Barbarian. Either way, but the Destroyer I think was
the second one. But yeah, Street Fighter, I don't know. But it's crazy how good movies
like that used to be. I don't know what the hell happened. I really don't. Bison
It was Tuesday, yes something like that.
Destroyer's kind of ass, it wasn't as good as the other one.
How far can pretty privilege get you?
Tiktok star, Charlie D'Amelio,
Charlie D'Amelio, Charlie D'Amelio, Charlie D'Amelio.
140, she has 150 million subscribers.
Jesus, 154 million followers?
That's insane.
Wow.
The 27K views.
I was like, that's it, I'm famous.
Don't talk to me.
I was just trying to, I was super excited to be sharing
with you my first ever YouTube video on the channel.
Well.
Man.
Man.
If there was one person who saved the universe
in their past life, it must be Charlie D'Amelio
because she was dealt with everything anyone could
ever ask to be successful.
A virally beautiful face and body.
Every opportunity in Hollywood, commercial.
Okay, boomer, a top talent agency in the industry,
a book deal, a reality TV show, a TV show,
a clothing line, a makeup line, a record deal.
But somehow, there is still a way to mess everything up.
Just really need to admit this to you guys.
I actually do have nipples.
And I mean, that's really like,
that's all I can say about this right now.
So how did the Demilo script,
more than $32 million worth, a pretty privilege?
That's exactly the mystery we're going to uncover today.
But not only that, as your marketing bestie,
who graduated top 1% UCLA Business Economics
with a background in marketing,
we are going to explore how pretty privilege
can still fail you if you have a terrible brand.
And how-
Well, if you're boring, I think that's the reason
why it happens, right?
It's like, there's a lot of girls, here's the thing,
is like, you can go to Twitch and you can see this.
You scroll down and you see plenty of girls
with a hundred viewers that are hot.
It's not like if you're a hot girl,
you're gonna instantly have a million viewers.
Yes, you, no matter if you have pretty privilege or not,
can build a successful brand
to help you down your career.
And by brand, I don't just mean slapping your name
or face on a t-shirt.
Branding is about how your future college,
future boss, future boyfriend sees you.
And I'm creating the series to analyze celebrities
from a marketing perspective,
because many of whom do not recognize the power of influence they have over a generation of young girls.
She's called drunk? Yeah, of course. Well, who knows if that's where she's actually being drunk, though. It's hard to say.
I really don't want to work anymore.
And I think it's so important to be aware and reflective.
The problem is people like that. I feel like with a lot of people that get popular on TikTok, etc., especially for being attractive, like...
Let's be real, right?
Like what happens is you get older and then people aren't as attracted to you anymore.
That's what happens.
And so like if you were popular for being hot and then people don't think you're hot anymore,
then you're not going to be popular, right?
And you get over it.
Yeah.
And then people move on, right?
And I think that that's the way it is with a lot of personalities.
the people who are shaping our culture. And despite how terribly the D'Amelio
franchise flopped, we will also talk about how they could come back from the
Laka brand and the hate they always cry about. I'm upset because I haven't been in
any drama. First we need to understand how the D'Amelios had every single
Christ.
To build a billion dollar empire.
Charlie D'Amelio, for those who have never heard of a small app called TikTok.
No drama?
Yeah.
Is a Connecticut high schooler who is not a nebo baby in Instagram eras or a self-made artist.
She started creating dance videos on TikTok in 2019 that quickly broke the platform and
gave this world record as the first person with 50 million dollars on TikTok.
See, like I never even go on TikTok.
I don't even know who these people are.
It sounds crazy.
Yeah I have no idea.
2020, then a hundred million in November 2020.
The entire internet in Charlie herself was dumbfounded by this nudge because while Charlie
was a dancer, many have claimed her dances to be mediocre.
Surely, it can't be that people are shallow and that the TikTok algorithm prefers a pretty
face right?
Not possible at all.
Yeah that's the obvious reason.
It's just yeah, I mean I it's so weird that people don't understand this
It's crazy
Of course renegade became the Charlie de Melio dance because she did it so much better than the original choreographer
And of course the reason Dixie de Melio Charlie's sister began blowing up, too
Was that her natural talents blew the platform away?
All in all, some people are born on the right side of the beauty algorithm and beauty standard
and they should embrace it.
As the sisters are dealing with this life-changing fame, which in this day means power, which
means money, their parents and new team saw a pot of gold.
There's also a huge problem that a lot of people have is that when a person gets popular
for being relatable and likable, like I think that it seems like she did and like
being pretty and then you get very popular and then that changes your like demeanor it
changes how you act it changes like the you know like you're talking about money all the
time etc now you're no longer relatable like if you're on like TV shows and stuff like
this people that watch you that are like high schoolers can't relate to you anymore
whenever you go on Jimmy Fallon,
and you talk about how many million dollars you have, right?
Yeah, fame and personality, popularity, exactly, right?
And there's plenty of people
that that doesn't happen with, right?
Like it's not like every person who is like successful,
like Keanu Reeves, for example,
like that didn't happen with him
because that's not the perspective.
It's not the fact that you have the money,
it's how you act with the money.
That's really what the difference.
How exciting! There is so much possibility when the hype is only rising for the girls.
They were seen as the model citizens of TikTok and basically had the attention of every teenage girl in the nation.
There was so much potential here for them to grow into the icons and role models for the next generation of young girls.
But no no, the D'Amelio parents said, heck, we are the new Kardashians.
And if you're the Kardashians, then being hot is all you need to build a successful business, right?
I'm gonna be honest. I
Always thought Kim Kardashian was really fucking hot. I do and I think that like again
Like she is insane and especially maybe maybe you might want to say not now
Okay, fine
But like whenever she first got really well-known
insanely fucking hot I
don't even think you can compare. That's my opinion. Plastic surgery? Hey, they did a
good job. They did a great job.
The big impressive list of business ventures. But if you take a closer look, you'll start
to realize that each is very mid and that the team behind them is not just
uncreative but literally throwing random shit at the wall and hoping that one
will stick. Wow. So what this is is a look at your 2021. This is the major
things we're focusing on. So we have all partnerships, we have the different companies
you're working with, like Ring Lights and starting a clothing company. And then you have books and
TV shows. Well, this is so big. Yeah. It's like, why would you even film this? This isn't something
like it breaks the immersion that people have with the character. Because now she's not like
this goofy girl that's just doing videos in her bedroom. Now she's like a global brand
that's like being pushed around and it completely destroys the authenticity. And especially young
people are looking for that type of authenticity. Yeah, it's Corpa, exactly, right? It's a bad move.
I don't know why you would think that's a good idea.
We need to first look at physical products and then their digital appearances that led to the
ultimate downfalls. From 2020 to 2023 alone, they had their makeup line with Morphe, not
Exactly a hit, then a collaboration drink with Dunkin Donuts, a fragrance line, a nail polish collection, a mattress, a footwear brand, a skin care brand, a popcorn brand.
Well, I remember so like this was a crazy thing is that like this was during, I don't remember exactly when this was, but it was during New World.
I was I remember I was playing New World in a call about this and I was gonna work with these people and make a type of food
It was a beef jerky thing and then I remember thinking halfway through this phone call. I
have like
50 other fucking things
I'm not a chef. I
Don't know fucking anything about people. I don't know how to make people. What am I? What am I doing?
I take a step back, what the fuck am I doing with my life?
And I was like, yeah, you know what?
It's not worth it.
Yeah, I'm not doing this.
And I think that you see it obviously
with the lunch-leaf stuff.
I mean, we did do StarForge, right?
And so it's not that doing something like this is bad,
but whenever you have all of these products
and there's not some sort of interesting gimmick to them
them and they're not funny or like good, then what's the point?
Starboard makes sense.
Exactly.
Yeah.
I feel like these people are just trying to make money.
They're trying to just like put their brand on whatever they can to
get their fans to buy it.
And I think also, like, if you look at the popularity, it's
completely contextualized inside of COVID.
Oh, wow.
Big surprise during COVID.
There's a lot of people that are, that are there.
They're, they're like buying the shit like crazy.
Cause you like think about how many people were really
popular during COVID, like especially like the Among Us era, because it made a bunch of like
really popular people. Like I don't like listing names because then it's like I'm like telling,
I'm like making a list of all the people that fell off. So I don't think I need to though,
right? Like we all know who they are. There's tons of people who used to be super popular.
Everybody knew them. And now they're just like nobody. Nobody cares about them. And that's
That's what happened with a lot of people.
I don't know which creative genius idea it was to tell the D'Amelio to dress up as Walmart
employees in order to promote this relatable, fun brand.
And all they did was remark the working class where labor was only a fun activity for them
and being so incredibly talented while launching back to back to back to back to back businesses.
Charlie D'Amelio of course had the time to write a book in 2020.
Natural.
Charlie the ultimate guide to keeping it real which be oh my god this is so
ridiculous that's crazy the audacity I it's amazing what is this it's targeted
for 10 year old girls I know it's not targeted for me okay became a New York
times best seller. Wow. That was an award for launching the most number of unmemorable businesses
that D'Amelio's probably would have won. I think it's not just that. It's that
COVID caused a lot of young people and a lot of people who were naive to get invested onto the
internet. And because of people's heightened level of like attention to the internet. So this
is a phenomenon that's very weird. It's that during recessions, people actually spend more
on entertainment and other types of distractions. So what ended up happening is like COVID effectively
functioned as a recession. And what it did is it caused people to be inside all the time. And
if you're inside all the time, you're constantly on the internet, well, you're going to have a
higher probability of getting parasocial with some person on TikTok, right? And that's the reason
why it happens. I think that's why these people blew up so much on TikTok. And now, like after
that kind of moved on, then everybody else did too. And also, I think that COVID brought like,
it's basically like there were different like measures of magnitude that brought a lot of
people onto the internet. And like in 2010, it was a lot of people in 2006, it was a lot of
people. I would say 2016, it was a lot of people. And I think that in COVID, like now,
basically, the entire culture is online because of COVID. And a lot of these people are being
exposed for the first time to a lot of this like influencer stuff and branding stuff,
and them being naive to it, I think that they bought into it and played into it a lot. And
that's why, and if I talk about this from like an industry level, the amount of money that
that you can make nowadays from sponsorships
is substantially lower than what you could make in 2021.
And I'm talking about like, you know,
view for view dollar for dollar, right?
I'm not saying like, oh, views are lower,
so money's lower.
Yeah, obviously.
I'm saying even, you know, adjusted for that inflation,
it's still lower.
It's because you don't have people
that are activating on ads like this
because there's like a diminishing return on it.
There's a cool down on it.
And it's like, you have this happen, like you can't,
not everybody can sell something to every person.
There's only so much attention
and so much money to go around.
That's my laundry being finished.
If I didn't tell you, you probably don't even know
half of these brands existed.
Yeah.
And some of them.
No idea.
Deceased, because honestly, by the speed
that these products were launched
immediately following the blow up,
there is just no way that they were developed
with care and passion from Charlie and Dixie.
These brands have no connection with them.
Like, my shoes, what popcorn, why not?
Who the fuck, like, who thought it was a good idea
to make B Happy Snacks Parmig...
Oh my God.
Cotton candy popcorn?
Who the fuck would eat that?
Jesus, yeah, same shit with different
print on demand products, yeah, basically, right?
I think this is the same as like the lunchly thing,
right, it pretty much is.
Where you've got people that are basically
putting out the same product for a higher price
to get people to pay for it.
And hopefully the marketing of their brand
is going to push the product enough
to where they're able to compete in the market.
But the problem is that, like this does work
to like a limited extent,
but whenever you're actually selling a product
that people want to use
and they're buying it for a function
rather than to support a creator,
like this is why, for example,
almost any creator can sell merchandise
it will do well. But when you're selling a product, people want a product to fulfill a function.
So like, for example, if you sell a computer, people want the computer to work. So it doesn't
really matter about like their relationship with the player or not the player, sorry,
that the content creator, they, they still need the computer to work, right? They still need
this to happen. So I think popcorn and other types of food is the same way. If you're
buying this, this isn't a way to support them. You're buying this for a purpose. And
if it doesn't fulfill that purpose, then you're just going to go to a competitor. That's why.
What about Pokemane selling those cookies at a huge price increase saying buy broke boy?
Here's what I'm saying is that how do we know how well those cookies are doing?
How many people are buying those cookies? I haven't seen the balance sheet for that.
So I see the balance sheet, I would assume that they're probably not doing very well.
That's my honest opinion, I bet they're probably not doing very well.
It seems like something that's not really going to happen, try them, I did, I did try
them.
By popcorn, by mattress, it's just slapping the demilio label on a bunch of consumer goods
that are very mid themselves.
Demilio, but where is recommended by doctors to treat broken ankles?
Don't say, you can't say.
I don't care if you like the Kardashians or Hailey Bieber.
Yes, they also launched and flopped brands, but the brands that we will remember and rave
about are the brands that they care about and rave about themselves.
Kim Kardashian is known for her iconic body.
So what does she launch?
Yeah, obviously.
Skimps, a shapewear company that has quality products that can sell even on their own.
Kylie Jenner, known for her lips.
So Mama Kris got her to launch Kylie Cosmetics.
They surprised.
They surprised.
The woman is constantly showing her glowy skin and each launch is super creative
and tied to her personally.
I'm a Chamberlain.
I've logged by coffee for four years.
It just makes so much sense.
You have a coffee company and she has killer creatives.
I think that this is also what happened back then
is that a lot of people saw how much money
they could make by selling products as content creators
and then they just tried to do
as much as they possibly could.
Everybody was, it was like basically a gold rush.
Like how can we figure out a way
that we can monetize the most people
in the most ways. Scam city? Well like it's not even really a scam. Like in a lot of cases
these aren't scams. It's just a product that's overpriced. Like a scam is whenever you buy
a banana and you get a tomato. This is you buy a banana but it's $7.
Earl's merch. Very on-brand with her personality. The fact that you don't even know the
name of the quote unquote brands launched by the milios shows you how disconnected
they are from these brands.
And it is so funny to read Charlie D'Amelio's
brand inspiration for their shoes as,
quote, we are always in heels, we are walking carpets,
we've done all the uncomfortable blister-filled shoes before.
So it's been really nice to be able to look into
our closets and see, hmm, what are we missing?
And what do we have that we can make better?
Clearly, extremely relatable to their teenage girl fan base,
walking heels and go to carpets all day.
And clearly the dream shoes for the teenage boys who follow them because of their hotness.
I love you so much.
We love you.
It's crazy how they're.
Fuck it.
That's the thing, right?
That's that's it.
It's a bunch of teenagers, right?
And like, like high school kids.
And the thing is that this is this is just the reality, right?
is that people that are really popular with high school kids,
this is something that doesn't last
because people, I mean, unless you're really stupid,
don't stay in high school for more than four years.
So, and that's assuming that they find you
when they're a freshman.
So what ends up happening is that also,
who do high schoolers like watching?
People that are around the age of other high schoolers.
Like you guys remember this whenever, you know,
we were kids, like you would want to watch and relate to somebody that's around your
age.
So now that this woman is like, you know, I don't know how old she is now, but she's
a good degree older and it's very obvious that she's not in high school anymore.
Very obvious now it's harder for that demographic to relate to her.
That's the issue.
She's 20 now.
Yeah.
If you're 20, you're not in high school.
20 is too old.
No, I'm serious.
Think about it.
The entire marketing team never gave a single thought to who the targeted demographic is
because it is not women in their 20s or 30s with actual purchasing power who won't want
to wear these electric blue pumps.
Super, super senior.
Which is probably a hard concept for the Demelo sisters to grasp.
Yeah, it's a difference between 16 and 20 is huge.
It's massive.
Like it's gigantic.
Like I'm actually, I'm surprised anybody is thinking that it's not.
It's tremendous. Absolutely.
They never had to work a single day since they had enough money to do whatever they want since 17.
And at this point, it is apparent that the main issue is the D'Amelios don't know why people follow them.
And frankly, it is hard.
I don't either. I don't get it. I've never got it. I don't understand it.
I have no idea. I mean, maybe it's like guys follow them because they're cute.
Okay, yeah, sure, but like all right now what?
To answer that question. Yeah, many still only know Charlie D'Amelio as a famous tick-tocker who dances and not much more
Surely digital appearances should help right right?
Although it seems like the D'Amelio family has done so much since Charlie became famous on tick-tock everything they worked on
Somehow only made them less and less relevant
Jesus 31,000 views. Wow. That's bad
Holy fuck and less like just how to touch this crazy. What does it say? Can we just cancel her already? Oh my god
This is what I was saying before is like
It's somebody like Paris Hilton or Donald Trump
like they're famous for being a rich asshole basically right but like this
girl was trying to be relatable and you can't do that and be super rich that's
not how it works.
Don't get me wrong I respect the hustle of the family where they really tried to emulate the Kardashian
grunt and did everything possible to stay relevant but they do not understand the
full price of monetizing your family and what it truly takes for a family to
become a money printing machine like the Kardashian plan.
Either their team is very lazy or has no creativity.
Since blowing up the demilion-
I think it's no creativity, in my opinion.
You're selling a fucking mattress.
There's only one man who can sell a mattress.
That's Shaq.
Other than that, I'm not interested.
He'll launch a podcast because every other influencer
under the Sunday called Two Chicks podcast.
They made a total of 27 episodes before asking the question,
is this what the girls actually want to do?
Jesus Christ, 4K views, 2.4K views.
Yeah, I just I really think it's crazy
that a girl that got famous for being pretty and dancing
thought that people wanted to listen to her talk
In all of your videos, it's music talking, not you.
What were you thinking?
I'm just, I really, really just know your role.
And do they have anything to talk about?
Dixie began doing music and so did Charlie.
They had their family YouTube channel, which had a lot of backlash since-
They want to have a backstory.
They want to have a backstory so bad.
Oh God.
episode, where the girls were seen as extremely rude and in spite of a private
chef made meal. Dixie threw it up in front of everyone and Charlie said it's
better to get Dino nuggets. At this point, the demilio brand... It's just obnoxious.
It's obnoxious and annoying. Like who likes that? Like who likes a person
like that? Like it's just it's... and she didn't even throw up. Like you can...
Like I can tell because you'd move your back like this right if you're gonna throw up. She'd throw up
Probably just spit it out
I was already out of touch with their audiences who's likely don't live in the large mansion
Yeah, are your chefs? But that's okay
They don't have to build a relatable brand if they want to be more aspirational like Taylor Swift or Billie Eilish
They could keep their mystique and stop doing the mediocre family content
But no, the team behind the demalials wanted them to be the Kardashians and put them on a reality TV show even a reality TV show
Oh my fucking god
See like I love I love watching videos like this because like I am inside of the male space of
Space Marine 2
Elden ring and
and like we just got done watching a clip from Conan the Barbarian and so like
this is like a whole other universe to me and it's astonishing for me to see how big it is
it's like a fucking parallel universe that i just never see after the youtube family channel
it's not much while they lack the very essential elements of the Kardashians to be interesting
Oh my god, I'm gonna cry when I die when I hear it.
Sex tapes, celebrity scandals, divorces, pregnancies, the demilios are just...
I mean, I really don't think that...
You guys really think I'm wrong about that shit?
Y'all really thought I was wrong.
Yes.
I don't think I was wrong.
I don't.
Pregnancies, the demilios are just too normal and unproblematic compared to other
They're boring. They're boring. That's that's the reason most people and this is why a lot of among us people fell off
It's because they're boring. They're boring. There's no this is why streamers fall off, too
It's because they're boring like they don't have any interests. They don't have anything they like talking about
They don't have a personality
Their personality is their stream like I'm telling you like it. I'm gonna just say it
I'm gonna just fucking say it so like if I'm hanging out with streamers
every single time I'm talking to them about their stream.
If I hang out with guys that do YouTube,
we can have a range of conversations about things that don't have to do with their immediate analytics.
Like it's actually crazy.
Like I could just chill and we can have conversations about like random shit.
It's not a big deal.
But I think that also like this brand of influencer content creator,
the super unproblematic always always says the right thing never has the wrong opinion or the bad take
that brand is like massively falling off because people have already like it it's just boring now
it's extremely boring and so like and and you see a lot of these content creators that came out
of this era, these people are like a single digit percentage the size and popularity that they used
to be. It's because it's just it's boring now and I think people have realized that it has an
expiration date. It does. Like I've seen it happen a lot because I've made content for years
and I've seen plenty of people pop off like this and then boring and disingenuous. Exactly. Yeah.
Yeah. People want authenticity. I don't even think that people want entirely authenticity.
I think people want entertainment. And in order for people to be entertained in a general degree,
they want to think that it's authentic. Like Druski, for example, does skits constantly.
Well, those aren't authentic, but he's fucking funny. So it's about the entertainment.
The biggest drama I've ever told is Troy and Dixie hating each other.
No, I think it's so cute that you riding on my cootails, it really worked out for you.
No, I mean, like, that was your whole life, I mean, two years compared to 18, like, really
different.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Which is so hard to watch because it's not authentic.
I was caught off guard and then expected to be like, oh my god, this is so perfect.
You know what?
Why don't you put the song on my album and we could do it together.
And probably did damage their relationship as a family.
What the hell just happened?
Like, I thought you were the only person I could really trust in the world.
not fair to me. So how are we supposed to live with each other anymore?
In addition, it's so boring, bro. Like it's just like this is it's just it's it's it's
so boring. Like there's no like, like the reason why something like Jersey Shore was
really good was because of crazy shit happening. Nobody wants to watch a reality show that's
boring. That almost every single episode was about the sisters facing hate from
people on the internet due to their massive following and massive presence
online is very jarring for the audience. Well it's not something that people can
relate to. Like as somebody I've had to deal with my fair share of internet hate
over over the years it can be very draining. It can be but you're not
going to tell somebody who works as a cashier that reading tweets makes you depressed, they're
not going to understand that. Even though you are completely entitled to the way that
you feel and them having a different job than you does not invalidate your feelings, they're
still not going to give a fuck.
Saying that the hate they're dealing with is not valid or important.
Who cares?
But do their viewers who don't understand a life of never needing to work since
17 having the luxury of time to cry repeatedly in a mansion and complain is very
Obquity it is a lack of awareness of privilege. The biggest. It's not just yeah. It's super obnoxious
Once they have to be alive is the hate that come from having hundreds and millions of followers
That's not even a fort a roof over their heads and have to stress about where the
Completely unrelatable the impression of Charlie and Dixie not being appreciative of the capital with money and power
they have is not only unrelatable but also unlikeable and if they're building brands I think it's the
unlikeability too and I think also the more that you try to market yourself as like a brand rather
than a person I think that people resent that even though I think it's healthier like and this is
the problem is that a lot of people want parasocial relationships online but they shouldn't get them
Brands after brands that depend on their personal brand and people liking them, then if people
don't like them, then of course the brands they release every few months flop in addition
Well to be fair people say that about every popular person that's not like an artist or
something like they say that about Kim Kardashian but she's still popular like they say that
about everybody it's not really that big of a deal each product has no soul or passion
Since the very start, except for maybe Charli and her dancing, there was not a soul or passion
in every project that D'amelio's touched on.
D'amelio, but where is recommended by doctors to treat broken ankles?
Don't say it, you can't say it.
Not sure if Dixie D'amelio even wanted to be a TikTok star or singer,
while always being overshadowed by Charli.
It's always your time to shine.
When the entire enterprise was born because of the lucky, or perhaps unlucky,
Pretty privilege without a soulful connection.
It is due to fail as soon as the halo effect of a pretty face or body gets
tiring and loses its shine.
Yeah, exactly. Like, I mean, again, it's just like, of course, you're going to have
like, you can't relate to like her audience is probably a bunch of people in high school.
So whenever you're not in high school, it's going to be harder for you to relate
to people that are in high school.
What?
What is it? No fucking shit fucking obviously, that's how it is
I do think Charlie and Dixie are sweet girls and handle way too much pressure from their team and perhaps even
Their parents who just want to milk the out of their fame and youth
But like I said before a brand cannot just be built in one day
And you can't just launch 20 things in four years hoping one was thick if you don't have an ounce of passion for any of them
So what does make sense for the D'Amelio brand and how could they create something sustainable without further decreasing their likability?
I don't think they can honestly. That's my opinion. I think that that type of popularity was a perfect storm of like COVID
being young and relatable to like high school kids and also the amount of like kind of
of naive people that were coming into the space, right?
I see this happen with streamers all the time,
is like there are a lot of streamers
that like have a pop off moment
where like they get a lot of viewers, right?
Whether it's a streamer that had 100 viewers
that gets a thousand or a streamer with a thousand viewers
that gets 5,000 for a day.
Most people end up having an opportunity like that
in one way or another.
But it's not about whether you get an opportunity like that. It's about whether you can capitalize on that opportunity and take advantage of it
They need to make a very conscious decision of whether they want to be influencers or celebrities
Which are two very separate concepts if they just want to play a role that is aspirational
Then don't overexpose themselves by appearing on every show network possible
Don't keep the mystique, and if they want to be influencers, they need to be way more
self aware and aware of what is normal outside of their multi-million bubble.
Stop pretending that they are just a normal family only worth $32 million in a mansion
and be more respectful towards the audience that they've been cashing out on and stop
contradicting themselves by stop pretending to be dramatic and problematic in their shows
for the sake of views and just stay true to who they are and maybe they don't care.
The problem is that the Kardashians are crazy and they do stupid weird shit.
If you're not doing stupid weird shit and being obnoxious and annoying and stupid, then
why would anybody want to watch your reality TV show?
That's boring.
People don't want to watch reality, they want to watch hyper-reality.
So unless you're doing that, then you're wasting your time.
Music popcorn mattress, and that is okay, which brings up a second
They need to stop launching brands the next brand launch needs to be something so thoughtful and something they absolutely love
Because so much trust has already been I was just happy on my eight-hour shifts scanning groceries
I wish I was rich enough to work retail for fun. I wish I was rich. Yeah, it's a bunch of kids
Absolutely. Yeah, that's why it's again. She was relatable, but now she's rich and so she's not relatable
It's pretty simple.
They need to let every milli ounce of the next product
to show that they poured their soul and their heart into it.
And maybe they're not passionate about anything right now,
which is also okay.
Do some soul searching first,
then develop the product that their audiences actually need.
And to be honest, if they don't care about products,
we don't need to create one.
There is already enough money to be made
from working with existing brands that align with them.
Third, not sure about Dixie,
But Charli's initial dream was related to dance and her going on dancing with the stars
was a great move.
It just aligns so well with who she is at the core.
Instead of starting drama, just to start drama with Dixie about pursuing singing.
Many people initially followed Charli because of the positive energy she brings.
And maybe from dance, she could create a product that finally connects with her.
That helps solve problems for her as a dancer.
Like gear that prevents dance injury that could eventually be pushed out to a broader
athletic market.
I don't even know if that would be possible because it's not like she's like a really well like she's not like a great dancer, right?
I mean, it's just another girl doing TikTok dances. That's it.
Like I like really that's the reason why these girls are popular isn't because they're good at dancing. It's because they're attractive.
That's the reason. Like I'm sorry, but like there it is.
sure that's extremely durable yet comfortable and cute during practice that
could eventually become its own. Although times have changed and the
D'amelu sisters are highly unlikely to regain that surreal level of mass
attention again all they need to do is to build a stronger connection with
their existing massive following instead of treating them like cash printing
machines to feed soulless products to you and stop doing and saying problematic,
offhanded things or complain about their privileges to be further disliked.
Yeah. Nobody, nobody cares about like a content creators problems.
Like this is, I've said this before, right?
And like this is why I don't really talk about a lot of like issues and
problems that I have. Like, of course there's like issues and problems.
Like nobody gives a shit. Right. Like I remember Hassan had that thing
happen, like it was really mad. The problem is like it the
problem is that I agree that the issues are real and they're
legitimate and they should be taken seriously. But at the end
of the day, if people aren't taking them seriously, and
they're getting mad about them, it's like an issue of like the
customers always right. If people don't like this, and you
keep giving it to them, it doesn't matter whether you're
right or not, if they're not buying the product, right,
whether that streams a reality TV show or anything else.
You don't want to work anymore.
Pretty privileged can't get you far, but cannot last a lifetime.
No, it never does.
Ultimately, it still comes to good intentions, authenticity, and hard work to build a long
lasting brand.
Which I do believe the D'Amelio sisters are capable of and can have a rise to their
careers again if they choose to use your influence for good impact.
That's how to wear real influence instead of-
as the customer isn't always right. That's such a dumb cliche. Stop it. Okay. Well, you're entitled
to your opinion. I think that if you ever make a product and you go to market with that product,
I think that you're in for some very unfortunate reality checks. Yeah, you're in like I again,
you'll figure it out. It's okay. A pretty follower account. Let me know your thoughts
if you think that Damela Brandt was a flop or not, and comment below which celebrity he
liked me to analyze next, to a marketing perspective. This is your marketing bestie,
Zerial Limited. Share this video for impact, and I will see you next week.
No, anybody who understands the concept like knows what I'm talking about.
But like, yeah, I think that obviously, you know, like they were very popular
because they were pretty girls that, you know, high school kids could relate to,
right? Then you get older, you're super rich.
Now you're like in a mansion, you're not in high school anymore.
Those people can't relate to you anymore.
And they've already grown up like these are people now that they're
like 21, and they were 17, now they're 21,
they're like watching you in a mansion crying
while they're barely trying to like finish their degree
working at Pizza Hut.
Like the relatability really isn't there
and the relatability is what made them popular.
So there's plenty of people like Donald Trump
isn't relatable in the same way,
but he didn't get popular because of that, right?
And so I think the issue is that people
don't understand, like this is an issue
with that a lot of streamers have too,
They don't understand why people watch them.
That's the biggest issue.
The customer's always right in terms of taste.
It's true for both the group and individual cases.
If I don't want to argue,
like anybody who thinks it's not true is like,
you can't reason a person out of a position
they didn't reason themselves into, right?
And so I have no business and no intention
of trying to fucking prove somebody wrong.
People think Trump is like their every man.
he's a real down to earth relatable American,
not in the way that I'm talking about, right?
Tick-tock PDS, a big part in the popularity.
Oh yeah, yeah, I mean, that's always what happens, right?
No one thinks that.
No, some people do think that.
No, it's true, he's right,
that some people do think that.
Apparently it's definitely pushing you
on girls to be celebrities.
It's sad how people don't realize
how much people use pretty privilege.
Yeah, being attractive is a huge buff.
Like it obviously is.
Anybody thinks it's not is crazy.
Like it's the same reason like,
And like for a guy, it matters.
But like for girls, it matters way more.
Like you can look at like the top 100 TikTok guys
and a lot of them are gonna be attractive, right?
But if you look at the top 100 TikTok girls,
every single one of them is gonna be attractive
because that's what sells.
And that's what people wanna see.
That's just reality.
It's the same thing as Twitch or on YouTube
or anything like that.
So yeah, I mean, if you have a, it's unhealthy though.
It's, I mean, I don't care just matter
whether it's healthy or not.
This is just the way it is, right?
Being pretty at it,
I was like plus 30 charisma and luck.
Yeah, yeah, something like that.
That's why actresses get a certain age.
The only roles for them are witches.
Jesus Christ.
That one must have come from the YouTube comments.
Oh boy.
Okay, yeah, I got to,
I'll link you guys to video, give it a like.
This was good.
I've got to do my podcast today
and I have to do some other stuff after that.
I'm gonna be back on tomorrow.
I had a plan for tomorrow,
I forgot. Oh, state of play PlayStation state of play is tomorrow. Yes, we're gonna be on early tomorrow state of play top streamer
I'm doing both of those tomorrow. It's gonna be big day Mondays or short days for me for stream
At least long days for me for other stuff as well
So yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and get ready and do all that and I'll see you guys tomorrow. All right boys
Peace. Yep. Bloodborne bloodborne is getting announced tomorrow for sure 100%
