0:00 I I could have ate a veggie burger but now I'm gonna eat a rib eye steak in front of you hey you weren't gonna order the veggie burger just like you weren't gonna get the McRib [Music] all right there is a an apparently famous chef who has recently broken down super sad lots of Tears as vegan protesters ████ his ████ up oh dude I heard about that what happened did Gordon Ramsay actually start crying this guy's name is actually Chef John Mountain cool name he's broken down after weeks of protesting from vegan demonstrators a group of vegans including uh some Notorious activist named Tash Peterson have come after his Perth restaurant named fire like fire Festival after the chef banned vegans after a disgruntled customer complained

0:50 about a plant-based meal so he had also banned vegans from coming to his restaurant completely banned vegan yeah because he just was tired of dealing with them yeah honestly don't blame them vegans why do they have to be so obnoxious because like it's part of it veganism vegetarianism they've existed with Asians Indians Buddhists for centuries a long time and they don't act this obnoxious it's never been annoying till now and then the thing is even yoga like yoga practitioners it's been there for a long ████ time but give it to a white lady and then it becomes obnoxious as ████ yeah what's going on on here these are these are the questions that we have to ask Nick what's the answer I think um certain whites are very entitled and I feel like when you

1:40 compare the identity of certain yoga people and veganism as like holier than thou on top of the entitlement I think you get this it's a combination I think I think it's a The Perfect Storm of all these situations and you know like what Bard always says you just can't take yourself too seriously because also too it's like if you want to condemn other people for animal cruelty and what they eat it's like I'm sure if you go back deep enough to veganism and how they consume their vegan products you could find a lot of hypocrisy of how they consume their food oh yeah what you have to kill a lot of bugs right you have to fend off the you know wolves or whatever you know to keep your crop going you know the turtles frogs a lot of rodents get chopped up in the uh you know that thing uh the

2:30 combine yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah unless they're growing their own corn in their backyard shut the ████ up yeah bro yeah but even then they probably get a corn as a bug on the pipe flick it before they eat the corner just kill the bug yeah you just killed a bug and wasting all the protein in the bug thank you jeez I don't know I just think it's it's silly dude it's silly and also too just don't protest outside of a restaurant there's other things to protest yeah you're not really changing the world yeah yeah dude get a job how about that the only time I protest outside of a restaurant is when they stop serving something I really like bring it back bring it back I want the McRibs why do you take it away and then when it's when it's like there I don't even eat it

3:23 and then with the McRib is back I'm like when I see the Billboards I'm like it's back yeah we should go sometime and I miss it yeah I think these vegans should just go support a really cool vegan restaurant yeah go do that go put it put in some positive energy because you know you're not gonna stop people from eating meat honestly if I just noticed that everybody was going to this one restaurant and business was going crazy and the line was super long I would be more inclined to try it than someone guilty me about a different place definitely like I feel like I've been to some vegan restaurants where I'm like this is pretty good really good am I hungry immediately after yes food tastes worse when someone's standing over you going doesn't it taste like real meat yeah you're like okay dude these are beets I know these are beets

4:13 that support that I hate when vegan people show me food and they're like isn't it exactly the same yeah I think that's where they ████ up is like they're trying to make replication yeah like meat meals and whatever instead of like just making a good freaking stir-fry vegetable yeah like you know when you go to a Buddhist temple and they have all that vegetarian stuff it's like that s███'s delicious some of the meat substitute is pretty good though yeah but when you eat the meat stuff do you go I wish this was just the same thing but with meat do you ever feel that way I don't mind I just don't want someone telling me that isn't it close yeah like what's the point you know what I will say about vegan food though would they knock out the park even better than the regular version is like the desserts the vegan desserts oh like the baked stuff

5:03 yeah it's it's very good that's true it's very good vegan candy whatever it's always stuff that if they're not trying to pretend to be me yeah and that that stuff's not bad yeah solid So This Guy's Restaurant so far has been stormed by vegan activists with protesters holding up signs about animal cruelty while diamonds are eating some processors uh stood outside the establishment playing pig squealing noises while yelling into a megaphone um the the mountain this guy over the mountain Game of Thrones uh he was also even captured on camera grabbing the megaphone from one protester as a woman fought for control before security guards had to intervene so he's like he's like basically on you know the edge of the cliff you're trying to like stop these people from harassing his restaurant harassing fellow diners while they're eating and stuff like that but they basically just got to a point where

5:54 he broke down uh he he at one point was so pissed off that he wanted to open a new steakhouse just to piss off the other vegan stuff dude the vegan protester one of my buddies he lives in the Eagle Rock and I guess these uh these protesters probably like 20 of them were outside in his neighborhood and they were they're protesting a house on the hill and they were just out there playing the loudest Sirens like the most annoying yeah they're just being annoying yeah and they're doing that in a neighborhood you know and nobody was stopping them they were doing that for like couple days a lot of hours just outside making like just the most ridiculous noises who knows what other nail there could be pregnant ladies trying to get arrested it's just like another homes so many people live there why were they protesting I forgot what the situation was but the guy that was living on the house on the hill was like associated

6:45 with something with meat or something just hanging dead animals yeah yeah yeah and they were protests to go and it was just like causes so much it's just annoying for everybody that protests have the best effect on like nowadays like when I think of veganism I would however much meat I gotta eat so I'm not like those people I will do that I'll do it dude I just don't like the people now yeah it's like not even about the food yeah it's just like the example of the people that I've run into are so like unlikable to me that I don't I just don't want to be like that I've never seen a protester going like man they're cool I want to get to know your cops at the protest the guys that have a drum circle I always think that's cool yeah yeah we're gonna ████ drum the ████ protest oh the interesting thing too is for this dude because it's Australia

7:36 like my um my girl's Australian and she's was like following that and she said it's different how like out there the general population has his back like his business is tripled good for him that's tight but out here it would be just like so he just needs to install like some soundproof windows but the problem is his private life is getting ████ up like because like they're boxing him well his his wife like left him because it's getting too much to deal with like she just don't want a part of it you know ah that doesn't sound like a ride or die wife that's yeah that's definitely on her yeah but also oh like like what when you're dealing with that kind of like hate all the time and people just blowing you up I bet you go a little crazy right like you they're attacking your business you're probably not the right mind State you're probably lashing out like these ████ people all you can do is talk about how they piss you off all the time I bet that's ████ tough dude

8:26 damn dude I don't know what I would do because I I'm like I actually yeah I'm on the same page with you like it's I probably had no feelings about the policy but because they're so annoying like the protesters are so annoying you want to go against that you don't you just don't want to associate with like like you don't want to be like oh that's this guy I'm exactly like him yeah I could actually be before something like I could be for animal rights but if I hate the protesters so bad I'll probably start eating like killing cows in front of them yeah they're just doing it wrong yeah I'll just do it like in front of because I'm just like I'll go against what I'm actually believing just to annoy you I think just not everybody responds to guilt the same way yeah you can't use that all the time no you got to change it up I think what pisses most people off though is the the entitled like condescending way of These

9:20 Guys these protesters are doing it in a way where it's like assuming that you're already an evil dumb piece of ████ and you need to learn what they learn right it they're not even approaching it in a way where they're giving people the benefit of the doubt right yeah hey let's learn this thing together they're just coming at you like you're an evil ████ animal killing piece of ████ they're trying to like beat you and you're just eating a hamburger like what are you doing leave me alone I I could have ate a veggie burger but now I'm gonna eat a rib eye steak in front of you hey you weren't gonna order the veggie burger just like you weren't gonna get the McRib you're a bunch of empty promises you're an enemy to both sides [Music]
