0:00 thank you [Music] all right man since we have you here today I think you'd be able to shed some light on this whole thing hit me what's going on with fousey man oh man what's not going on with him why what's going on with them I heard because he's back and he's streaming though right cap to recap very quickly um for those of you for those of you who don't know um so he started doing live streams yeah and was gaining like Mass attraction on Twitch and then and then later on Kick but like he came back yeah as a streamer now yeah and apparently sober this time yeah so here's here's a quick list of like the timeline of infractions uh the first thing he did that kind of went viral outside of his own network was he accidentally said the n-word while live

0:50 on stream because he was like rapping oh he was out of the J Cole song he was feeling it he was filming he was feeling the Holy Spirit yeah and then uh but that's kind of like maybe maybe not but the reaction was well everybody the reaction is why I went around yeah yeah because I instantly upsetted himself and started punching his bed and he goes I never say that while still rapping on the bridge I think for the musical break it was like streaming live at the airport met this random drunk girl that stumbled into the frame started talking to her she ends up talking about how she uh used to be sex trafficked and it was got pretty heavy but then camera cuts for a second he comes back and says that him and her just had sex in the bathroom um number three uh he was streaming while walking down the freeway blocking cars at night like he was just walking along an actual freeway and uh that was weird and then four he went over there

1:41 he's sober now yeah he's sober he's had a couple bouts where he slapped other creators like Jack Doherty and neon uh and then number five is the big doozy that's when he was uh in a hotel room and this guy who's another streamer his name's ganvil he claimed that he was calling and harassing his family and stuff and then uh he told fousey that a girl that he was seeing recently was really just a plant sent from him and wasn't real and then um I'm real I just know that motherfucker's not real that situation and then uh fousey was threatening him so gamble called the cops on him fousey also called the cops on himself uh because the he was trying to call the cops on me I'm calling myself yeah he was trying to report that this guy gamble was threatening him and the and the cops didn't seem like they were gonna come so then fousey faked a hostage situation and said he had a gun

2:32 to his head so the cops ended up coming over and they ended up arresting him because he's being irate and crazy dude and he was recording all that in this hotel room right I remember pieces of that and then he actually got the the cops just started not to charge him they check him into a mental institution instead didn't he get into like an accident too while streaming or some ████ I'm sure I think I think the whole thing is I don't think he's sober what was he what was he on yeah what is he on because you've been friends with him a long time does he seem like yeah but even back then like I think he might have been on something but I don't know what it was but he was in definitely more control and he knew it was more about entertainment but now it just seems like it's pure ego at this point mixed with a little schizophrenia but I think it's drugs I don't think I mean I don't know if it's damn you don't think it's Cuckoos I mean I don't think we actually I don't think no

3:22 naturally he's not that way oh I think he's just thought Drake was coming that was kind of interesting I think after that it went pretty wild I think the dude like I mean I imagine like if your first videos were like massively viral and then you obviously they were fake you're trying to do whatever it takes to maintain some type of uh I don't know viewership or like self-acceptance I don't know what it is but as soon as he came back and he was bragging about how he was sober again no one really I don't know that's a weird brag but it wasn't like boat like humble what was he on in the first place I didn't know I have no idea so well I didn't even know he had to get sober I don't know but he made content creators look probably even worse I think there's something to do this

4:18 I just broke he's saying that he broke her to do but there's no confirmed like confirmation about that but uh kid was like giving hella people crazy ass deals but yeah they are no they're giving those crazy ass people both they're also being scrutinized for uh for not stopping this before it got what are they supposed to do though they don't give a ████ cut the stream probably not I'm with Steve on that I heard he was doing like a 24 7 stream yeah so that's probably not good for your brain right does he sleep because you could sleep for eight hours you yeah I guess you could that kind of analysis [Laughter] not trip out as much underneath all the like controversy that he's constantly kicking up is boozy he's a decent guy

5:09 yeah he's a good he's a good dude I think he's a really good actor hmm what is that what do you mean like you give him a script and he can make them to life nothing is genuine when you talk to him no there was like There's so like during his first depression times like we were really close and he'd call myself and my friend humble over like when he was going through episodes and he was like Hey I'm going through this episode with myself right now and I wanted to make a video about it and I just wanted you guys here for support like emotional support and mental sport like all right cool so he came through and he was talking to this film dude and he was basically like uh we come up he's like all right guys we're right with you let me get this monologue off real quick he goes are you ready he goes all right action and he did this right away his emotions went that ████ is real and he does this whole ████ perfect monologue and right when

6:01 he got done he goes did you get it and then right then and there I was like okay I don't know what what this is because you went from being really good in a good place to a perfect like scripted thing that wasn't a script I don't know what it was but right then there I was like I don't know if we're really helping you at this point anymore or just being entertained that's why I say he's a good actor because I I don't know what is real even if our relationship or a friendship was real or what was because we've had a lot of great talks off camera but I don't even know if that was just I I don't have no idea that one was the one where I was like I'm a little scared of this situation I think it's so dumb if you could look into the camera right now and say something to him what would you say ah can you keep the music please that sounds like Street jams that sounds like B Street part two what is that I

6:53 don't know just cute music okay keep more more uh r b piano piano like KC Jojo I don't know Susie I don't know what's going on man and if you're watching this I just want you to know that uh dig deep Free Yourself of your ego and just enjoy what you have left I don't know what this background music is but I love I kind of like it but it helps I think Roselle would be jealous sounds very Asian look at all the Chinese Harps dude quick content do you think there should be anything in place to keep streamers from going too

7:44 far like should they always be rewarded for the ████ they're pulling on streams this is America dude Land of the Free dude you putting up numbers Brother come on but you know like even YouTube has standards of what you can and can't do it's kind of like shock porn you know what he should do he should start doing the NPC stuff those guys are just this game it's all good ice cream it's all good well it's dude Glizzy the Glizzy attack guy yeah he went insanely viral now dude I'm sure fousey could knock it out the park the Glizzy robot guy maximum tightness or whatever you see that ████ what is the maximum no what this is he's wearing like he's wearing like a hot dog shoe I'm doing too much all Steve day previews but they're bleeding in dude give me tastes man The Taste away but yeah but like you know how uh every platform has guidelines right but then um for kick it almost seems like because that's the newer platform and people are just going to be

8:34 so desperate to like get a leg up that they're willing to do shock ████ like Johnny Somalian ████ Japan like he's back in Japan is he he has not learned his lesson because he understands that the more ████ gets kicked up the more he's gonna get numbers but kick won't do anything to stop it right that's the model that's always happened yeah but you can't do a lot of stuff on YouTube you can't like even only fans girls can't post photos they took in public it's like yeah there's there's stipulation you know that because I had a studio and that's why they came to shoot with me put that in the title right like the algorithm or like well like de-prioritize you or something yeah there's like something everything has a game that you have to play but it almost seems like because kick is newer and they're trying to steal people over they're like hey it's the wild west get over here plus you probably gotta have like three or four controversies

9:25 controversial moments in and like you're still like oh and then you level out yeah but well even with the controversial ████ that's just hype you know what I mean as long as somebody isn't like getting killed you know what I mean like actually in danger until fousey and now that fousey's gone obviously kid don't care and kick continues on yeah and I didn't even ████ know what but like it took controversy for me to learn about it yeah yeah I'd probably like yeah we can we can let somebody go crazy for a while like and you're shipping then we'll kick you off by the way they take the blame fousey takes the blame yeah kick yeah sure they take a little hit maybe image wise but they just had a huge influx on numbers they don't give a ████ and then they're like all right now we'll make one guideline well they they tweeted free fousey and then they deleted it [Laughter]

10:17 yeah lock up food so he's in a mental institution right now right I think he's being mentally assessed I don't know if it's technically an institution he may voluntarily be there that's crazy just pivot to like mukbangs or something not for him because remember um when he was so he was getting managed by one of David's close friends from back home um and when he Abe yeah when he first was doing YouTube Abe brought him down here to show him this was maybe over 10 years ago right when he did the Drake yeah like what YouTube could be and it's just trying to show him like all the like the little offices that are around and people are kind of like building their own like little companies and stuff so I remember that's the first fousey I've ever met you know just someone else oh man I love you guys I grew up on you guys hopefully we could do you know like a channel like yours one day and then I

11:08 saw him Skyrocket which is super cool and then just to see like like just the crazy like crash and burn at the end has just been nuts yeah it's been getting worse because he got in he got in he got inspired by the wrong group yeah I think look I feel bad for Vermont too like because he was I used to like hate the fake prankers and stuff because I was trying to do real pranks and blah blah but I was I've once adpocalypse happened I just kind of got grouped in with all those guys anyway and I was like yeah this sucks so like you know and I can't imagine like I know Ed apocalypse was was rough on me I can't imagine what it was like for those guys oh yeah a lot to lose like they were way overextended like but basically had houses that they could not afford to pay for for one year for example in case of emergency even so then also that's zero now what are you gonna do and like all

11:58 these ad companies are dried up everywhere so then I just feel awful for those guys so you know I hope I wish him well I really do I hope he gets help [Music]
