the transcript auto-captions · entered into evidence

0:00 Hey Mexican president, come get me, dude. I'll be in Puerto Vallarta tomorrow. Then I'll give a ████ >> What if the cartel shows up anyway and you're like, "Wait, no. I I was talking to the government." And they're like, Yeah. We are the government. >> [laughter] >> So, in one of the biggest upsets kind of on the internet right now is uh the verdict on Johnny Somali's uh case in Korea. You know anything about that? You heard anything? He got sentenced, right? Yeah. Was it like jail time? Yeah, but it's only 6 months. And prosecution was hoping for 3 years. Wow. Yeah, and so they really did go pretty easy on him. Uh of course, all you guys know this dude's been a menace for how ████ long now. Everyone's so sick of him. Whole world just wants this guy to just be gone from the face of the planet. But

0:52 um yeah, the stuff that he did in Korea uh amongst a bunch of other like stupid antics, I think the worst one was that he was like ████ around with uh the statue of like a comfort woman, which in the history of Korea was um basically like a monument to some of those uh women who were forced to become concubines or uh not even concubines, but just straight up, you know, sex slaves basically uh by, you know, Joe's people. They're horny. Which Joe hasn't apologized yet. >> Nope. Should. He should. >> But yeah, so everyone was really hoping that, you know, this would be a lot a lot bigger of a thing that, you know, that he would get the full extent of the law. The 3 years sounded pretty good. That's enough to really pro- hopefully change somebody. Um or at least like show the rest of the world that, you know,

1:43 we're serious about people doing these nuisance streaming, which is what it's kind of called. People who make a career out of just annoying everyone in public. But yeah, 3 um years was the goal. 6 months was result. There's a lot of appeals that are kind of uh I know they were talking on uh on Side Scrollers, which I was watching there um this dude was talking about how um they're going for an appeal to kind of get more jail time because they don't think that the uh the 6-month verdict uh or sentencing was lawful, that they were required to give more jail time to this guy. So, there is an appeal going on. But yeah, this guy's not going to learn his lesson. What did this guy do again? Besides the the statue thing? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think he first was harassing people in a train. And then like And then he was like calling He

2:34 kept saying Hiroshima to this girl and then Yeah, he kept saying Hiroshima Nagasaki at people, you know. >> And he kept getting slapped around Asia cuz he kept like annoying people. That's how he kind of made na- national news, right? >> Yeah, because he was just a huge nuisance streamer. He would go He would travel around different countries just annoying everybody, being really loud everywhere. Or he would like go into areas where you're not allowed to be, so he would get trespassing charge. He would like I think he went to like a convenience store and like smashed something or uh he also at one point um What else did this dude do in Korea? One of the charges that he created deepfake porn, uh which you is illegal there, I guess. So, um he might have He created deepfake porn out of something on somebody. Was it one of the Overwatch girls?

3:24 Would you even need to make deepfake porn for that? >> [laughter] >> So, I mean, it was one of the things where it was a win that he got caught in Korea because he went basically went through Japan totally practically unscathed, which for some reason they didn't really I don't know why he didn't get arrested there. >> [laughter] >> Japan is just too ████ depressed to do anything about it. He got beat up in Korea, too. Yeah, he got socked up in Korea. But But again, like right before on on the way to his court case, he was already He was streaming saying he's not even going to get a day in jail. He This guy does not care. He He's just a complete degenerate in every way. So, I don't think he's got anybody in his corner. People, even his fans, want to see bad things happen as result. Oh, it's like that. You know what I mean? It's evolved to that? Well, it's a thing where like he he's basically the heel of the world. So, it's like if he, you know, the more bad things that happen to him, the better his content does get for those people

4:16 that enjoy it. >> Or it's like bad reality TV. Yeah, exactly. So, they're not, you know, nobody's going to come rescue this guy. Do you guys know how long Vitaly did? Cuz it feels like he didn't do that long. He didn't do that long. He did over a year. Over a year in the Philippines? I believe it was 10 months or something like that. Or like yeah, just about. >> So, Johnny Somali's I feel like he's already been in prison for a minute waiting for his trial or whatever. Yeah, a little bit, yeah. And then so, he's going to do Korean jail. Mhm. It's also labor. It's uh with hard labor. So, he's going to be doing something. He's not just going to be snoozing. It was 6 months, right? 6 months, yeah. Koreans don't ████ around, too. Like they'll probably beat his ass in jail and make him work and like >> That's all you can hope for now is like hopefully ████ happens to him in prison so he doesn't come out and then he just, you know, cuz so far every time he's gotten in trouble for anything, even in

5:06 Japan, like with the little stints he's had, right after he goes back to doing it. Same like with Vitaly, you know. I don't think people or I guess it'll take a little bit for the justice system of any country to catch up to the idea that arresting streamers makes their content better. You know what I mean? Like you are helping these people every time you don't punish them beyond something that they can work with, you know what I mean? But I feel like the Korean gangsters that like knew that he's like ████ around with comfort women would probably beat his ass. Whereas like I don't think Vitaly had the same treatment cuz I don't think he actually did something culturally ████ up where the whole country got mad. >> Yeah, he just like ████ with people, like that cop >> and a policeman or something, right? So, like that's kind of that's a little bit less than like, "Oh, you ████

5:56 did what to our statue?" So, it's like, "Okay." But why didn't like him going around to elderly people on Japanese trains saying Hiroshima Nagasaki, how did that not get Japanese people active? I don't understand. >> They're just chill, man. I think they're just chill. >> There was a guy that pulled up on him. I think someone slapped him or something, but like not They didn't really go after him. Like I I saw that Korean guy beat his ass. I think to them it's not that crazy. They're like, "Whatever." You know what I mean? Like to them it's like, "Yeah, guess what? I heard stories about my uncle seeing ████ white leg in the window, brother. You think saying Hiroshima Nagasaki to my face makes me give a s███?" >> But you know, like Japan's so they take so much care in, I guess, the peace of society that I thought like legally like they would go get him and be like, "Bro, do you" cuz they're so good, especially

6:46 right now, they're doing so much campaigning over getting tourists to behave a specific way. Doesn't that reinforce tourists to ████ around if they don't get people that are doing it to that level? >> Maybe when Johnny was doing it, it was like the beginning of everyone being like, "What the ████ is wrong with these foreigners?" Cuz I think a lot of them had no idea like how animalistic the rest of us are. I think it had to become a thing to to get attention. >> And then they're like, "Oh, we need to get him out of here." You know, like in the beginning I think they were blindsided like, "What's going on? These guys are fighting?" And like whatever, yeah. >> It's kind of happening here now, too, cuz I saw Sneako just got sucker punched. >> Oh, yeah. Did you see that? >> Yeah, he got He got beat up, yeah. That was like yesterday. He get So, he's just walking, doing the livestream thing, and then he just gets sucker punched by some kid. But Sneako's not classified as a nuisance streamer. Like he doesn't go

7:37 around ████ >> No, but I can see how like someone doesn't like him. Yeah, they had a personal thing on him. I just don't understand how countries don't capitalize the chance that they have, like Korea, with Johnny Somali probably the worst of these kinds. I actually think if it was their own citizen, they would go 10 times harder. That's interesting. But like if he's American, I don't know if he's American, right? But like >> know if he has Not with a name like Johnny Somali. He could be a US citizen. Like he could be a Somalian that's His home His home is America, though. So then there might be diplomatic rules of like not being able to, but >> Singapore don't follow that ████ They ████ They'll whack you if you ████ around out there. Russia, too. They don't give a ████ where you're from. >> Maybe it's Yeah, but Korea's an ally of America, right? >> Yeah, cuz I think Indonesia doesn't play. Like they If they They caught some of Australian coke smugglers and they

8:29 just executed them. I mean, that's drugs, but like I guess this Maybe this is such a new nuisance that it doesn't have a a very like defined line of like, "Here's how to handle it." But they had a good shot, man, because now people are going to be like, "That's it? ████ [clears throat] 6 months?" >> if it's like for being the worst guy. So, like let's say out there like if you if you um let's say you murder someone, right? Then you do 3 years. And then like Johnny Somali is ████ torqued on a statue and he does 3 years. Like that might be like >> [laughter] >> you know, it's that won't be fair. Like maybe that's what they're gauging it off of. Okay. [laughter] You know, like 6 months is the max that they could have done for for what he's done or like >> Or like that's the reasonable amount that a judge would Yeah. would uh issue. That's the only thing I could think of. >> Oh, that's true. Like we also don't know

9:20 the justice system out there in terms of like cuz you know what? Here, ████ judges have their own goddamn agenda personally on their own that will fulfill the needs of their career. You know what I mean? Maybe out there it's different. So, they have to do extracurricular ████ to make sure, yeah. >> But it pains me that it's like, "That's it, man. 6 months." >> And also think like street justice is probably way better than like government justice. >> Does that happen there, though? Oh, I mean, like people get ████ up, yeah. >> In jail? No, I mean, like in Korea, yeah. I mean, I think every country you're going to If you piss off the wrong people, they're going to beat you up, right? That's what I thought, dude, but this fool ████ made I don't think Norwegian jails that's I don't think that's going to happen. >> No, not Norwegian jail. I think everyone's like toodle-oo. >> [laughter] >> Cuz I think it really hurt the image Japan-wise when he got he he went through all of Japan. Every time he got

10:11 uh called out, he still ████ around the next day. And then we all everyone was always saying when he first got there, "Oh, you going to ████ around there. Yakuza's going to get you." Yakuza didn't really do ████ man. I don't think they would get involved in petty stuff. If you can predict it, they're not going to do it. But like that kind of killed that whole like sentiment to how tough Japan is. You know like we always say that. Now you can't say that no more because some guy really did there he really did go there and really did test it and really said, "Come at me. Here's where I am." And this fool made it to another country right after. Yeah, there were some guys that confronted him, but they didn't actually like ████ them up. >> They were probably larping though. They're not triad guys. Yeah, but that's not what we imagined the Yakuza to do. I thought they would just take them out. >> No, they weren't they were just regular guys. Yeah. Yeah, but I don't Yeah, I just don't think the Yakuza would get involved in stuff like that. >> saying. It's like attracting attention.

11:01 >> Cuz it's not messing with their money. Yeah. Yeah, it's just annoying. >> It's like telling the mob it's like, "Hey, come at me, mob. I'm in Vegas. I'm here. I'll be at the ████ casino tonight." And then you just have a bunch of guys who play Magic the Gathering coming at you cuz like they think it's like I I want to get attention. >> Yeah. The crazy thing is in in ████ Mexico straight-up famous influencers have done that and they've been murdered by the cartel. I feel like the cartel's a whole different >> The cartel I think delivers, brother. >> But that's ████ They're not even culturally ████ around. All they're doing is saying, "Yeah, come at me. Haha." And they just get wiped out, dude. It's insane. >> We do know bits about the cartel here. We like we like them. You're broke cartel. No bits, no bits. But the cartel is like So let's say you're in Mexico, right? And you're driving around. There are cartel checkpoints where like And and cartels running around with

11:52 guns. Oh yeah, and their government is compromised to where they are the ████ Whereas I think in Asia the organized crime don't act openly like that. >> Cuz they they don't want to risk their businesses. Mexico's the one place where you could be like, "Hey, Mexican government officials, come at me, bro." But you don't want to say it about the cartel. Yeah, right? Hey, Mexican president, come get me, dude. I'll be in Puerto Vallarta tomorrow. They don't give a ████ >> the cartel shows up anyway and you're like, "Wait, no, I was talking to the government." And they're like, "Yeah. We are the government." >> [laughter] >> Oops. I think it's it's so different. >> [clears throat] >> Yeah. But I also think like he didn't go hard enough to like make people mad in Japan. That's what I'm saying. It's ████ ████ Hiroshima, Nagasaki is Come on. >> Well, that was only one thing, but he went around he went on a every day of

12:42 his life he was there he was ████ around. >> I don't know. Let's say he went to like a shrine, like a historical monument, right? And he started jacking off or like ████ some ████ up there. I think that would be the equivalent of comfort women like twerking. >> Oh, damn. Okay. >> Yeah. Cuz like comfort women twerking is like going to the Hiroshima like bomb site and then like doing a joke there at, you know, at one of the statues of someone died. I think that is would be probably the same equivalent of like But then like telling someone Hiroshima isn't the same as like >> I think that you pay him too much compliment to be like he offended the Japanese people. You know what I mean? Like he really it's not clever what he did. It's just so ████ pedestrian. He's just a he's just a little bug you can swat, yeah. >> And I also feel like Koreans are more like, "Just give me a reason to fight." >> [laughter] >> Really? I feel like they they're they're

13:33 more fighters. Like I think they're just more like, "Dude, I'm I'm I just want to ████ you up. Just give me a reason." >> I just I just wish for the good of the I guess like the internet culture I wish they had like given him a harder sentence, yeah. Just because that probably would have staved off a lot of, you know, I think 6 months of hard labor for this cat is going to be enough, bro. >> You think so? I do. But do you think he'll come out and like like capitalize on this or learn his lesson? >> If he comes out and wilds out, I'll be genuinely shocked because I think 6 months of hard labor is no joke. >> Because I'm saying like the same thing that happened like like we we just covered today the Vitaly situation where he totally ruined some Indian guy's life. And they had him in the Philippines. If they had just kept them, like this dude could have been saved and maybe countless other people. And guess what? Now Vitaly's kicked off the platform for going too far. I feel like as long as this fool gets out in 6

14:24 months and has even the life force to turn his computer on, it's over. Do you remember what Vitaly did? What do you mean? The Philippines? >> To get thrown in jail in the Philippines? >> Yeah, he was ████ around some police officer's hat and then he's basically just being ████ annoying everywhere he went, yeah. I just think that what he did was not fitting of the the punishment that he got. Like a year? >> I think his punishment was hard for what he did. >> That's what I think. >> Oh, you thought his it was too much? >> Yeah, like he grabbed the cop's hat, right? And then waved it around. I'm like, "That's a whole year?" >> In America, you're you're out in 3 days. >> Yeah. You know what I mean? Like >> Yeah, but it's I think it's the fact that like it's not like it's a spur-of-the-moment thing. It's like first degree, whatever that is, versus third degree. I just felt like doing it right then and there. It's more like it's a premeditated I'm going to profit off the eyes that watch me do this to

15:14 these people. I think that's a totally different thing. And And maybe the law will adjust and go like, "Oh, okay. If your business model is to do this, you should get a bigger punishment." >> Oh, that's a good point, yeah. >> Cuz you will do it after and before and you would have and you're just going to keep going. >> Cuz you don't know It's like a it's like a drug dealer when he gets out of jail. He doesn't know anything else to do. He's going to drug deal. >> And that's where I think we are with Johnny Somalian is that like it's not like he's going out having fun and then getting too turnt. You know, no, this is his mission and people are paying him to do crazier ████ Like you're you're working on a donation system. So to ████ his future up in his bag, he should something should happen. >> Yeah, or just to discourage like like you know how like if the more incidents like like what happened with Vitaly happened on Kick, the more Kick has to respond. The more Kick has to put regulations. Right now it's a ████ wild west on that. >> I just wish it was clever. Like if Johnny Somalian was like

16:05 on a subway with a bunch of Japanese people or or or or or in China, right? And he's he's eating Panda Express like orange chicken he's like, "Ugh!" He throws up in front of them. He's like, "It's not authentic." or something. I'm like, "At least make have an angle. Be something like clever about it." But what these guys do is just so not that. >> And And that's where like the streaming economy I think needs to ████ like I don't mean to be a like a pitchfork guy, but that's the whole reason is because they're running on the most non-clever brains. And there's that's their ticket in is because now there's a place for the dumb people to be killing it. You know what I mean? And that's what I don't like about Kick and like and and and nuisance streamers is that there is no cleverness and there's not And that's the reason their audience doesn't want them to be clever. They want them to be It's like peer pressuring your homie to do something dumb. It's that but they'll

16:57 ████ do it. >> I dare you, bro. Hey, bro, go We're on a cruise ship, jump in the water. And then they never see him again. And I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't say that at I had an age where I would have ████ eaten that content up. But you know, I also there's still limits and I think if you're ████ with actual society, especially in a foreign country, like come on, man. >> 3 years is good. 3 [laughter] years is good.
