0:00 [Music] what happened what the ████ just happened right now i'm sorry joe you really flinched you really i'm ████ ticklish you really got a sensitive butthole you know what it is this guy's stuck and then i lifted it and i'm the strongest man in the world dude i deadlifted this ████ i'm gonna make a note to keep that in because because it wasn't recording i'm gonna make a note to keep that in oh my god note to self don't show your butt to barf dude from bart touching his ass hey man don't title with that
0:50 i poked them in the hamstring insertion [Laughter] you did that's a big time flinch bro honestly that's that's the ticklish ████ i'm talking about the table you are ticklish dude shut up dude that's delicious shut up take it back ████ watch your mouth i never need to tickle you now because part of why you tickle someone to see if they're ticklish now we already know no it's like it's a deadlift tables oh yeah true dude my fanny pack got in the way that was uh mostly oh man get ready to be mad nick you're gonna love this guy i don't know talking about a st louis restaurant fights back against a food blogger who made heavy negative reviews after being denied a discount for posting the content i saw this ████ he tried to extort him right he basically tried to extort him yeah so there's this dude um his name is
1:40 antonio eats l.a oh i love his blog really you follow him no so here's the text that he sent this restaurant in st louis before visiting he says hello i wanted to record the food being made and posted on my page in exchange for 100 off the food i can come today 100 who these guys think they are dude yeah so let me use you for content and then you pay me too so the restaurant replied saying thank you for your offer but i don't think this collaboration will work for us that's all he said it's so funny because we do food content but it's like the ████ who does it that way you know right so then he goes in there and he um he he still goes orders food and then he posts on his uh socials saying these are
2:30 the worst dumplings ever using a vomiting emoji saying it has a floral taste and for the taro dumplings he wrote that they taste like ass this guy is really eloquent with this food that would have sold me you were hoping for that i mean tasting like ass is a positive thing for me yeah so the restaurant decided to like fight back by posting what he initially said to them and to be like hey like a food blogger with a lot of followers could mean a lot of damage to like a small business a nice restaurant so we have to do everything we can to you know um and they wanted to you know give a voice to other restaurants in the asian community that are victimized by these types of bloggers yeah predatory bloggers bro predatory bloggers that sounds like extortion to me what's this what's this blogger's name antonio eats l.a
3:20 so this guy made his ig private after all this like ████ flak and then he's probably got all of asia right now going you son of a ████ ████ you well yeah because nobody ████ already likes these guys you know what i mean like nobody at least in the business unless you know like it's like you were saying everyone ████ likes food man you're not discovering something ████ foodie yeah yeah yeah we get it dude you act like an exclusive club but everyone does this every day i'm kind of a foodie right so let me um he did private his ig you act like you're the only one that eats food you son of a ████ but then he wrote some people do this more than three times a day damn he has 200 000 followers for being a dick wow he's a food curator he loves who dude is he a ig food blogger oh he took it he took it off he took it off his bio but
4:10 on his private page his bio he changed it to say i would never take money for a positive review uh privating my ig due to death threats death threats this was a ████ hit someone's trying to kill a hamburger reviewer this guy oh man you're a little ████ man antonio eats l.a i wonder if i follow him i follow a couple of like food people yeah but they're not doing that this ████ yeah see if he uh follow him and see if he uh requests i mean he's just one of those people that probably you know like there's a lot of good food bloggers and they're probably just like ████ this guy's making us look like i mean we've been paid from restaurants to like review or come eat or whatever but no one ever says like it has to be positive or good but i always felt weird about saying like hey i want to come review your restaurant give me a discount like in exchange if they're asking me fine yeah but then how
5:01 much is a ████ meal like 20 bucks and it's like a boba tea place isn't it is it like a dumpling place yeah dumpling and bubble noodles and bubble tea yeah yeah if it's a mom and pop too like the margins it's like five percent i mean it's just pretty obvious that if you were the person to propose your review and you were asking for a discount it is now a tainted review no matter what you say that's true so that's the point they're trying to make they're like okay ████ if the dumplings really taste like ass whatever but like it does now you've canceled your own review out your credibility's gone because you started this and said hey for a hundred dollars off i'll come in there and i'll do this thing he might be lying about all these other places yeah like is he really gonna get a discount and say oh it smells like ass in here ████ sucks yeah that would be hilarious but i highly doubt that he's
5:56 dumplings ████ suck yeah so the restaurant's called corner 17 they're in st louis uh they posted a caption saying we understand that we have a small platform here in social media and we don't get as much voice as other influencers especially with asian cuisine most of the time restaurants don't have social accounts or time to manage an intentionally bad ride up from a large falling influencer because of our refusal to accept their collab is unprofessional and a such hostile manner can simply ruin their businesses defu came all the way from la to eat at a small restaurant in st louis he lives in st louis and l.a oh he goes back and forth yeah this was a whack-ass ████ yeah in his bio does he have st louis and then a airplane emoji to l.a i like that well he doesn't have ████ on there now because it's private i should do that all the states yeah yeah people
6:46 be like l-v-h-i-l-a you know ukraine fight too yeah ukraine flag yeah yeah like you would think back in the day when like there were like food critics right yeah like i'm thinking about ratatouille and ████ like that you know what i mean it's like i'm gonna show up whenever you get you to just be ready if you know who you are right and i'm not i'm not showing up but you better give this to me free but if i know who that critic is and i'm a restaurant i'm like we he's here we better make sure it's good it's not even about like them transacting like you better ████ pay me a discount right it's just a matter of like respect for yourself or if you respect the critic you know what i'm saying so to be able to like go out there and be a ████ influencer and to like start those conversations and kind of corner somebody who doesn't ████ do that ████ is literally like the weakest stuff yeah well that's like when i'm watching kitchen nightmares and i'm always like damn the ship's really working hard for gordon
7:36 but he probably wouldn't do that for me at all sucks sucks to be me he wants his validation unless he found luna because of you hey not bad he doesn't need luna yeah so a bunch of people are uh now leaving positive reviews on quarter 17's restaurant yelp and everything just now but uh yeah i wonder how many other ████ do this because like even even bart you you have stories of small micro influencers coming in and saying you know who i am you should let me in this ████ gym for free well yeah here i hear i hear stories from like from the gym staff of like people trying to come in and like big time you know and then they're like name their names i don't even know their names but they don't have five thousand cause like the crazy thing is like the people that are actually big they just pay they just they're just like oh cool we're supporting each other we're all in the fitness game so they're like we'll just
8:27 you know like they don't even make them they don't make they don't hit me up like hey i'm in town can you hook me up like i'll just see later on oh sure you should let me know you know it'd be like they just do it but then they'll they'll be people like that and then they'll they'll like oh you know why i'm here just they'll like literally show up to the front desk with like their instagram did you see that i could make you guys famous yeah yeah or infamous if i choose if i so choose i have the power even in my market where i where i have the studios all day long there's gonna be some influencer that's like hey i have this many followers can i shoot there for free can i do this and that and it's like dude what the ████ like so guess what price just went up ████ wait it just doesn't it doesn't help me out at all like because all of my customers are influencers with big followings right and if i could explain the market like
9:17 if i could explain how this works it's like nobody is going to want to shoot here more because an influencer shot for free like that doesn't it doesn't translate that way i know people think it does that like oh so-and-so shot here like it would have ████ natalie portman shot here yeah but not another instagramer you know what i mean like it's got to be like so what's crazy is that natalie portman came she'd probably shut down the whole place for a week and pay you like 10x the amount and that's exactly what happens that's the main thing is that she's here so you're telling me [Laughter] i go into buildings if natalie port has been there i can tell you that the main people that do pay the most money are people that normally you would discount yeah because it's like oh thank you for shooting here but those people are like they understand like no i'm not a ████ bum like yeah i'm gonna pay for it plus it's not like i'm a ████ corporation i'm a small business too just like corner 17. that's not a
10:07 ████ you know it's not a chain 2500 location don't touch it going on mcdonald's though i know who has this kind of money it's like hey mcdonald's mcdonald's i don't know if you know this but i have i'm gonna take 1200 followers i'm just ████ big and tasty this makes me want to reach out to these guys and be like i'm coming to smell your chairs just so you know i'm coming from all the chairs antonio l.a was dining interesting i'm trying to smell that chair obviously like we none of us ████ know this food blogger but it kind of makes me feel like maybe people really like when he talks ████ about restaurants too he might be one of those guys oh oh yeah those food critics like the drama of food and ████ that might be his demo too so then you can kind of understand like okay if he's doing that maybe that's kind of where he sees his but going in there to ████ just bring down small businesses yeah what a
10:58 ████ dude and then to make your business rise out of it you're not some like ████ dark knight who's trying to help other citizens exactly you're capitalizing off of taking somebody else down it's literally the ████ most pathetic ████ but he still goes and he still pays for it that's the thing so he's eating it just to talk ████ and also like when you go into a relationship like this don't you want to lead with like hey let's all be cool first you know like let's all have let's all be amicable let's let's make sure everybody gets some benefit out of this that's why i'm glad that uh the community has corner 17's back because it's like dude you can't keep ████ with places man like luckily for corner 17 and next shark and just whole like networks of people that are like all right you're not gonna ████ with us but then there's some mom and pop places that don't know one other person you know what i love about this we've been talking ████ on this dude the whole time and stuff but what if we all go there and the dumplings taste like ash
11:48 and we want so bad to say it we can't say it though could social media destroy us and then we're like but they really do taste like butt somehow i don't know how they did it but also though if we go it'll be all good because we never we didn't hit him with that dumbass pitch of like we'll pay for it we'll pay for it yeah we're like hey paid full price tastes like crap like that guy that guy was still a dick but the dumplings taste like i'm like [Laughter] he's like do you like it uh it's kind of assy [Music]
12:44 you
