Welcome back to the basement yard. It is January 8th. I am by myself once again and
Not happy. I'll be honest with you. I
I'm like full in on this diet now that I've been on and now meeting oatmeal, which today was the first time
I've had oatmeal in my life. That's not actually that's not true
I probably was force-fed that shit when I was younger by my mom like here take some oatmeal
And I probably threw it on the ground or something, but I've never had it in my adult life
Until today and it's disgusting. I don't even I couldn't even tell you it tastes like a desk
It it doesn't taste like anything because I'm raw talking it out here
Okay, I'm not putting salt or you know sugar or cinnamon or any of that
Although I might start putting cinnamon in it because I just I can't do it
It literally tastes either there's a desk in front of me if I'm pretty sure if I took a bite out of this shit
It would taste the same as
The oatmeal that I had it's just oh god
It's terrible and so many people were offended because I make the mistake of
Posting on my Instagram story like a picture of the bowl
And I was like oatmeal fucking sucks and I get all these people hitting me up like your water to oats ratios a little off
They're bought like shut up or something
You know you got to add flax seed and fucking all kinds of blueberries and did I ask you?
anything
You could add anything to this it's still gonna suck the oatmeal that part sucks
That's what I'm trying to that's what I'm trying to say. Okay, my the only reason why I'm doing it too is because
My cousin who's like shredded. He's like yeah, I have a bowl of oatmeal a day
It makes a huge difference you feel so much better
So I'm like, you know what I'm gonna do it and I did some research on it and there was some scientists
I was like if everyone ate a small bowl of oatmeal every morning then like the whole
Public the public's health would be so much better. So I'm like, you know what let me just suck it up and eat oatmeal
But it's it's really awful. It's literally like you cut up a little a bunch of pieces of
Cardboard soaked it in water and you shoving it down your face. It's so gross. I can't begin to explain
But yeah, that was how my warning went
Anyway, I kind of wanted to talk about this Logan Paul situation and I know I'm late
On it, but that's for a good reason like I didn't want to
Make it seem like because there's 4,000 videos now that are out there and all these
News outlets picked it up and are talking about it
And I didn't want to be one of those people that was just gonna put his name in a title of something
It'd be like up. Here's a quick million views or here's two million. You know, I mean
I didn't I don't want to write his coattail at all
But I did want to talk about it because I feel like it is important
But I mean, you'd you know, but I'm gonna tell you again. Anyway, this is kid Logan Paul
He's probably the biggest person on the internet right now and he's got 15 million subscribers
most of which are like eight
Years old are like eight to 16. I think 16 is getting high. I'll be honest with you from what I've seen
but
Yeah, this kid went to Japan and just started doing like dumb-ass shit and I've said this in the past like I've got no problem with that kid
He makes content that isn't for me. I'm not his demographic. You know what I mean? Like I'm not
You know, these vloggers are kind of fucking insane now like they're all just like, you know, I think they're all hopped up on cocaine
There's no other reason why you should be that excited to start up videos. Oh, whoa
What's going on low gang and like they're freaking out and like jerk in there
But I think I just throw my back doing that
But they're all just like loud as hell and it's just like Jesus Christ like I'm dizzy watching this for a second
It's like jump cuts glory or whatever, but again, I have no problem with that content because it's not for me. I understand that
it's for other people
but he went to Japan and I
Saw this one video he did where he dressed
I think he dressed up in like these onesies as a Pokemon
I think and he was throwing like this pillow that was shaped like a
Pokeball at at these Japanese people and like oh, I caught you like already. This is kind of
Fucking weird like what the hell are you doing? You know what I mean?
But I understand you gotta understand also this kid puts out a video every single day running out of ideas. Okay?
Obviously, I mean clearly me. I'm running out of fucking ideas
I do a video once a week and most of them are the same so that just goes to show eventually you get to the point
I guess we start throwing pillows at Japanese people and not necessarily the way I would do it
But that's what he chose. Okay, then
Like I said keep in mind this kid's putting out content every single day then this kid goes to
this forest in
Japan which is nicknamed suicide forest
Now if you can't tell a bunch of people are committing suicide in this fucking forest, right?
So already
You're kind of like what do you do? Like it just doesn't make sense, right?
This is like I wouldn't even know it's like today. We're going to we're gonna dig a body up and see what happens
It's basically what you're doing. I don't know why you would fucking bring a camera there
but
Him and the people he was with they went into this forest and they saw an actual dead body of this dude who just like
Fucking hung himself and he's fucking hanging there a
Fucking dead body is hanging there, right? And here's where it gets interesting, right? Because
This kid
There were parts where he was laughing in the video like when they were like near the body and doing whatever which a lot of
People kind of interpreted that as like this kids laughing at a dead body
Which I didn't necessarily get that from the video, but I could see how people would be like up
He chuckled fuck this kid and like whatever, right a lot people have nervous laughter
I know tons of people that in like really fucked up situations. They're like
Nervously laugh, which maybe that was the case or maybe he is a piece of shit. Whatever. I mean, he is a piece of shit
Don't get me wrong. This is a piece of shit thing, but that part of it
I don't know if it was just like a nervous laughter or whatever it was
The thing I don't get is how do you not fucking edit that out there? Logie?
You're laughing. There's a dead guy fucking feet from you
Why would you keep that in?
What is the thought process there?
What it and another thing that this kid left in the video some fucking guy who's there
I don't know who the fuck he is. I mean, I think he's like a cameraman or something because he's got like a team of people now, but
they see the body and
Logan Paul's like, yo my god, there's there's a body over there
Fucking said and then this kid goes yo stop playing grab the cameras. Let's go grab the cat. Let's go
What?
Dude, who is this kid? Grab the cameras. Let's go videotape it. It's a dead. Is no one scared
Is no one afraid?
I'm I was watching that like this item when you want to I hope they don't walk forward because I'm kind of freaked out right now
And I'm not even there. You were in suicide forest in Japan and you see a dead guy and you go
Yeah, this is gonna make great footage
That's literally psychotic that's psychotic behavior
Yeah, let's go check it out
What what do you mean? Let's go check it out and
Dude, I'm not even kidding. This kid was so close to this body and he blurred the face, right which
Wow, what a hero guy blurred the face
I don't give a fuck at that. Why are you blurring the face at that point?
I could see the rest of the body. You can see his clothes his hands
He's even talking about his hands. He's like look at his hands. It's so blue and shit. Yeah, that's fucking awesome, dude
Why the fuck would you put that in it when a body is hanging in a movie?
They don't even show shit like that. You know what I mean?
They don't even like it's just
You put it in a vlog for 15 million nine year olds
Are you fucking insane and then you left the parts where you're laughing and he's running this dumb fucking hat the whole time
It was just all just like if things just stacked on top of each other, which it was just oh boy and the worst part is
Actually, no, that's the worst part. The second worst part is that
immediately after he tried to spin it into some like suicide awareness
Thing and it's like dude
What like the fact that and here's the thing too because a lot of people are defending him
Which is the most alarming part to me because even this kid he fucked up. Yes, he did. He is a fucking idiot and
He made an apology video, which was super fucking weird
He was like very stoic and like not blinking and I don't know what the fuck was going on
But it was like someone had my gunpoint. It was real fucking weird, but
He says like, you know, no one defend my actions because they're not, you know, you shouldn't defend them
Which he's fucking right. I mean, he said the right thing in that video, but the fucking too little too late. They're low
But
Yeah, it's just it's scary to see these people on Twitter because I had all I tweeted was Logan
I wrote Logan Paul dot dot dot Jesus Christ and already these fucking people came out of the woodwork
Well, like oh my he he was in a traumatic situation and you know
This is how he deals with things with humor. First of all kids not a comedian. What the fuck are you talking about?
That's how he deals with things with humor. I haven't seen that happen ever
Haven't seen that happen
Family member dies is gonna make a video just like joking around and shit. I haven't seen that happen. What are you talking about?
That's how he deals with the humor. Oh, let's just say that's true, right?
That's how he deals with traumatic situations. He tries to make it a funny thing or whatever. First of all
This isn't about you. I don't care how you feel in this situation
It's so eat the answer is so easy in the situation
You don't film a dead body because it's not about unit anymore. Okay, it's not about I don't care how you react
Oh, this is how I react to certain situations. I give a fuck you didn't die when you died
Then you could react in a fucking different way. Okay, or if that's your fucking family members hanging from a tree
Then you could walk over and be like look my fucking uncle's hanging here. Yeah, fuck great. Look at my hat
You could do that then but this makes no fucking sense
What do you mean and the fact that it wasn't like a live stream either because if it was a live stream
Not that it would be okay. It would still be completely fucked
But there wouldn't be the fact that you film this strike one
Then you went home watch it again, and we're like, yeah strike two and then you edited it and
Left it in took a thumbnail with the body
Titled it found a dead body in Japan and then put it out
And you're sorry like what do you mean?
You literally this isn't a mistake. This is what I'm trying to get at okay
So for people who are trying to defend him. This isn't a fucking mistake
He went out of his way to exploit a dead body for views
There's no way around it and here's the thing
People do make mistakes
This is a big mistake that he made do I think he's an awful person terrible guy? Oh my god throw him in jail
No, I don't do I think he's a fucking idiot. Oh, yeah
Yeah, he is he is a fucking idiot
Do I think he's like, you know the worst person well
No, I don't but at the same time if you're trying to defend this kid listen
He fucked up big time let him just deal with that shit
You don't have to defend him because you're making yourself look insane and it's scary to see all these people just like yeah
No, it's cool. I don't care
It's I'll defend like people will defend anybody when they does when these kids act like pieces of shit
You have to hold them accountable so that they could change but if this kid
You know and and here's the another thing too
The he put the video out and then in six hours
It had what I think like six million views or three million views or some crazy shit like that
And it was like 500 like 500,000 likes that means that 500,000 people were like no, this is cool. This is okay. This is good
What
No, it's not you see what I'm saying
Like I know
It's it's hard for me to say this because I if I wouldn't want to be in this position because I don't feel responsible
For the way I act and like influencing other people
But at the same time my audience is very different than this kids and he also has a way bigger one than I do
You have 15 million people looking at you at all times you you drop a video every single day
So they're back every single day and they are all very young you go out of your way to meet these people
You know who your audience is
and then
you put out this video and
It kind of just makes it
It kind of just
Let's these kids know like this is dope. This is sick. This is you do this
Hey, any vloggers out there you find any dead bodies in your fucking uh
Because that's I mean ultimately that's what's happening now if you with this video if it didn't get any backlash and
Went crazy viral which it did
Right if there was no backlash you're basically telling all these kids. Hey if you see a traumatic
Thing you see a car crash you see someone get cut in half
I don't know where you would see someone get cut in half
But I guess a train or some shit
But if you guys see any of this and you're a vlogger you pull that camera out because that has tons of views right there
What are you doing? You can't do that
It's the same thing like with a world star like when people get into fights and shit instead of breaking it up or instead of
You know saving someone from further injury someone gets knocked out and someone's just keeps stepping on their head or some shit
People pull out their phones and just videotape it instead of like breaking it up or like doing the right thing and it's like
The fact that those things go viral just lets everyone know like oh, this is how you get attention
This is how you do it. So I got to do that
And then you show a dead body in Japan like dude
You're just is crazy and he said it in one of his apologies that he put out
He said like you know with great power comes great responsibility or ever that shit from spider-man that my dad always used to say to me
But
Like dude, how can you say that after the fact like if you knew that going in?
There's no reason to put that body out there. There's literally no excuse for this behavior whatsoever it
The only explanation and this is this is the truth and it has to be there's no other reason that he did that when he saw
That body in that forest his initial reaction was thank God
This is gonna go viral this is gonna do this is gonna be it
That was his initial reaction and that is wrong and that is fucked up
But that had to have been his initial reaction
There is no other reason to go over to that body film it edit it and put it out thumbnail and title
Those are all the symptoms of a fucking psycho
Okay
That's it
You don't go out of your way to do all that shit if you're not like this is gonna go viral
This is gonna be awesome
But but but and even said something some bullshit in that video where he was like
You know, I think this is the first time ever on YouTube that whatever it's like dude
This isn't a milestone. What are you talking about?
I think this is the first time ever on YouTube that we saw a dead bot
Yeah, it is. You know why cuz no one's a fucking psycho
No, it's a sociopath and he's gonna film dead bodies and just put them all over YouTube and shit
You didn't hit a milestone you didn't like, you know make history or anything like that like everything's gotta be making history of this kid
I don't know what like this isn't
I don't even know to say at this point I do enough yelling and
you know
there's no excuse for that and
It's just it's just really weird. It's really it's really weird
It's just weird when you really think about it because again if I saw a dead body
I'd be fucking terrified. I
Wouldn't be like yeah, we got to film this shit
You know what I mean? I wouldn't even take a picture and like send it to my friends and be like, yo, sorry dead bodies
Shit is fucking crazy. I wouldn't even do that. I'd be I'd be able to do the fuck out of here and call the cops
I don't want to see this anymore. I want to be near it. It's scary. I don't like it
But but you know, you know what this is too
So here's another thing
This kid has been winning for so long
Ever since he was a viner and he had millions of followers on vine like that's a lot of power
That's a lot of stroking this kid's ego and then he goes on YouTube
And now he's probably the biggest youtuber on the platform right now, right? Well, I don't know after this
but we shall see but
So he's been winning for the longest time he puts out a video every single day
The only people he has around him are just a bunch of yes, man. They're like, yeah, it's good idea, dude
Let's do that. You know best
I'm gonna trust you because if you were able to go, you know and be this successful then you probably know the answers
This kid's 22
He doesn't know shit
Does he know how to build an audience? Yeah, he knows that
But he doesn't like there's things you don't know you're only 22 dude, and I'm only 25. I don't have any fucking answers
Okay, you're even younger than I am and I know how dumb I am and how little I know so I know
That you know little too
So you need someone there who's gonna just tell you like dude, maybe don't fucking do what you're about to do because this is kind of
Psychotic here. Okay, this is this will get you in trouble not a good look
This is gonna have a publicist. Is there no one like a PR person going like yet dead bodies aren't the best thing for us
Okay, might hurt the brand. Okay. It's just it's just
Oh my god, and it's just clear to see now like all these little girl fans that he has are
completely brainwashed and just
Will do anything will lay on the sword for this kid. It just doesn't make any sense to me and
You know what the thing is back to what I was saying before about he's been winning for so long
I just feel like this was one of those instances where he was kind of drunk on power
he just felt like you know, I could do anything and
It'll be fine because that's what I've been doing for the longest time and it's always worked out
So it's like I can get away with anything I can spin this into a whatever and I'll do it
I'll put my own flair on it and whatever and it's just like
When you get drunk on power like that
And you do feel like that's when you're bound to fuck up when you start to feel like I'm untouchable
Which I think he felt like you know what I mean, which is like human because again, this kid probably goes into every single meeting
All his friends all the people around him everyone is just like what do we do and and I'm following your lead
And you're so successful and blah blah blah
So, you know, it's only natural that he's gonna feel like I have all the answers and I know this is gonna be fine
but
You know, you just need it. Someone's got to be there
It's called tell him like you're a fucking idiot if you actually do this, you know what I mean?
Like you can't take yourself too seriously
Because of reasons like this and if you want if you're watching this I'll do it
You don't have to pay me. Just text me every once in a while. I'd be like, yo, is this cool
I was gonna film a dead body and then I'll hit you up and be like, dude
Are you fucking nuts and then you take it out and then you don't do it. Okay? That's what you do
Christ but where to go from here. I don't know where he's gonna go from here. I don't know what the answer is
You know, it's been a great and terrible year for him and his brother
Both very successful people but also
You know, just
There's no
There's no limits for those kids. There's no there's no nothing no boundaries
It's like we will do anything to go viral. I want to be the biggest entertainer in the world
It's like what the fuck does that mean like you?
What do you mean the biggest entertainer in the world like you want to have the biggest YouTube channel?
Like you will do anything to go viral like
People do the dumbest shit to go viral they will literally I there was that one challenge that went around on Twitter
People like covered themselves in axe spray and then lit themselves on fire and then jumped into the shower right after that like oh
Iced child fire challenge. What?
Fire challenge Jesus Christ
It's gotta stop it really has to stop and like these are these are the role models. What do you want to believe it or not?
But do you want to believe it or not? We're like no not mine. No. Yes, it is these kids are getting the most attention
Subconsciously everyone is influenced by them
That's just the way it is and they will dictate how people
will
Act in certain situations. She's like oh, I saw someone act this way during this situation. I'm gonna do it
That's basically what's happening here
It's not good. I don't know what's gonna happen to this kid
I mean he has enough money now that he'll be fine for the rest of his life if he's smart, but
You know
It's just it's just crazy man. I
Don't know
It's just you don't you don't do that. It's that's that was that was like an easy one, dude
Like I can see how you know you fuck up in some way and it gets misinterpreted or whatever
But but but but this is just like blatant
Fucking
Psychotic behavior where you're literally trying to make money off of a dead body like someone else's death you're trying to make money off of it
Like that's it and I don't want to hear yo
I do not want to hear this like oh it was about suicide awareness
No, it wasn't no it wasn't because I think that's another thing that he said in that video where he was like
Yeah, my plan was just to come in here and then talk about suicide
You know and and awareness because it's a serious issue
Dude you could do that fucking anywhere. Why would you go to the suicide forest?
Why
No one even knows you're going to any forest. They all look the same you could go into any forest
Why would you want to go there and try to see a dead body like you were going there?
Hope there's no other reason to go there
You're hoping to see one and you saw one and you got what you wanted and now you're dealing with the consequences
And it's as simple as that
But I don't want anyone to try and sell me on the fact that this kid was trying to do his moral duty and like
Spread awareness about suicide prevention or just no
He went into that forest
Hoping you find a dead body so you can make money and a viral video off of it. That is it and
He made and it was a big mistake
But again, I don't think this kid's like the worst person in the world
Do I think he has some he's kind of fucked up? Yeah, I do
But that's what happens when you have a bunch of yes men around you and everyone tells you the greatest thing ever
so
He's just like a product of his situation and his environment, but and I'm not trying to take any blame off of this kid, but
You know, maybe now he'll come back to reality and he'll figure his shit out. But for now
You're kind of a fucking idiot
But anyway

pretty much everyone I know uses it like this is a this is the new way to send stuff and
Yeah stamps comm
You know the world is changing everything's becoming online and this is just one of those things and also the world is changing in bad ways
You know the other day I saw an article and
I was so upset. I was so upset at this article. I saw it because
like the
What's that called the headline the title whatever
The headline was schools are banning best friends to protect students feelings. What?
You're doing, huh?
Dude
How like this is it's getting ridiculous now, it's really getting ridiculous now
Okay in the article it says this instead
Teachers encourage all students to form bonds with one another to avoid creating feelings of exclusions among those without best friends
What?
You are crippling the children teach
Enough is enough if your kid is a fucking introvert and he doesn't have friends
That's on him and he's got to figure it out. All right. They need to figure it out your kid needs to be excluded
They need to figure out how to be social those you're taking
Valuable social skills away from these kids when you just force everyone to just be friends and everyone's the same and
No one's special or any of this shit like no
You need to have people that are special so people have someone to strive to be like
That sense even makes sense. I'm not even sure but you know what I'm saying
You need someone who is great so you can look at them and be like I want to be like that
I'm gonna work harder to be like that but
If your kid is one of those people they're just like oh, I'm just gonna quit that I'm like
I'll never be that well then do your job as a parent and make sure they don't end up that way, okay?
because
This is ridiculous
You're not allowed to have best friends first of all, how do you even monitor such things like what does that even mean?
Like ah you guys been hanging out too much get the fuck on the other side of the clock like what are you talking about?
You're not allowed to have best friends. Everyone's got to have the same amount of friends everyone where the set
You know, it's gonna happen. This is like a black mirror episode. No best friends. No one's allowed to wear any other color except white and
you know
No one talk to anyone. You have a you have a limited number of words that you can say to each person and that's it
It's ridiculous. This really makes no sense to me. Oh
My god, you can't just hand everything to these kids. It's getting out of control like at the school that I grew up in
Right when I was in elementary school
From kindergarten to fifth grade. I was in this school and we had every year. We had this thing called field day
Which I'm pretty sure like all schools had it, but we called it field day. I don't know whatever else calls it
but
it was basically just like an athletic event and
you know, there was
the softball toss and the
40-yard dash or there was a relay race or like the potato sack race or like all this weird races or whatever and
you know, there was first place second place third place fourth place and if you didn't place, sorry, dude
you suck whatever and
Now
There's none of that. They have field day, but everyone gets a first place ribbon
Why the fuck would you do that?
Why would you give every kid first place? What is the point of having the event then? Why are we racing?
Why should I bust my ass to come in first place? If you're just gonna give the kid and fucking last to a fucking
pin that says the same thing
Why would you do that?
That's so stupid
This is this is not the way it is and I I challenge anyone to argue argue me on that argue with me on that
I can't even speak. I'm so angry
What is
Like
What what are we doing? What are we doing? How is this helping? Hope you don't want anyone to feel bad. Why not?
Everyone should feel bad
if you suck
You either get better or you quit and
And if you quit then you then I don't know to tell you
But you need if you suck you just got to suck
Like come and last get better next time. That's it. Okay?
That's the way it's supposed to be my dad listen my dad
Was and this is another thing this field day thing. I never got a first-place ribbon
I was one of the best athletes in that school
In fact, I was the second best athlete in the entire school and that's just not blown smoke up my ass
That is actually true and if you ask my friends who would never let me say anything even close to that cocky
They will tell you that it's true
You know one seventh grade hit everyone kind of caught up to me
But I was good back then but I didn't come in first ever and it would devastate me
And I would cry all the time and like whatever and then a fifth grade. I finally got my first place ribbon
I just wanted to throw that last part in there, but the whole point of that is like
Even if you're really good
You're supposed to loot like losing helps so much. That's why when you talk to successful people
They're always like yeah, you had to fail a thousand times before you could get it right like it's it's part of the process
As part of growth you need to teach kids these things you can't just let them win all the time
Look what happened a fucking Logan Paul kids been winning for two years. That's two years
Imagine he grew up every single day always had friends always had this always had that everything was going from like of course
This kid's got to film a dead body
Like what do you mean? Of course he is because we fucked him up
until this age
It's it's terrible and back to what I was saying before my dad was the basketball coach of my of my team in like
seventh grade or whatever and
I consider I was a really good basketball player when I was younger and in seventh grade
He was like, I don't think you're the better point guard on the team and he benched me and I did not start
This is my dad
He's the coach of the team and I am on the bench
He started someone over me
But that's the way it is
That's the way it is. I
Was in seventh grade my dad knew the game of basketball better than I did and he said, you know, we had tryouts
He said this kid. I think he's better than you. He's starting. That's the way it is
Him putting me in the starting lineup just cuz I'm his kid would be detrimental
because then any time
I'm on I just assume I'm supposed to be out there. So that just makes me not work as hard and
Eventually towards the end of the season I was starting or towards the middle of the season. It didn't take too long
Okay, I was in that starting lineup. Don't get it fucking twisted here. I'll be banging threes out there
No, but seriously like
That's what it's supposed to do. It's supposed that you're supposed to fail so you could find out
Okay, I need to be better. I need to whatever but when you take all that away
To the point where now I can't even have a best friend. Oh my god
I
Enough is enough
If you're one of these fucking parents that's complaining that all my my kid came in sixth and he's really upset
But we'll tell your kid to fucking get faster than tell me to get to the park and work on his free throws lady
I don't know what to tell you
Are you kidding me?
You're gonna complain because your kid sucks at sports
Jesus get him a coach then put him on a team let him learn or let him figure out what the hell
He's good at then doesn't have to be this you could be good at something else
But you can't just fix every problem with that like let's just even the playing field. No, it's not an even playing field
Okay, especially when it comes to sports when it comes to sports. There are great
They are starters and there are bench players and there are people who don't make the fucking team. There's three tears
starters bench players people who don't make the fucking team you get cut
We're not putting everyone on this team and everyone's not gonna get an equal playing field
No, no one's getting equal playing time. We want to win that best guys are going out there
Okay, and that's what life is life is like the sports in that way the best will get
Where for the most part will get to start and if you're kind of good you'll get on the bench
But if you suck we will kick you to the curb and that's how it should be
You can't just even the playing field like that
to the point where
By the way that last thing that I just said probably doesn't apply to everything in the world
But I'm just saying you get my you get what I'm saying
But this best friends thing this is the most absurd thing I've ever heard of in my life schools are banning best friends
Banning best friends
My god, how many parents are fucking crying because they don't want to raise their kids that we have to come to this
Banning best friends, and I know I don't have kids and I don't know anything about that and whatever
But I do know that if you are gonna complain
Because your kid has no social skills or he's not good at sports or whatever and you just want everything to be catered to your kid
You are not doing your job. That's just the facts. I'm sorry
That's just how it is. All right, that's what I believe
But I also think that those are the facts because that is what I believe and
No one can tell me different right now because I was in the room with me
But I do challenge anyone to argue with me on that. I do I do want to see how that is helping kids in any way
No, it's not
It's it's not helping them. I'm not gonna put your kid on the team because
You know
You think he should be or he wants he wants to play. Yeah, but if he sucks, he's not gonna play so whatever that's another thing
But hey, my son's not getting enough playing time. Yeah, that's cuz your son sucks
Okay, and we're down 14 and we need the best guys out there. I'm not putting your fucking kid in right now. Okay. I'm sorry
I'm sorry, this is so angry. I don't know what's taking over me right now
And and you know just before I leave here one last thing that kind of made me upset that I was
that
I saw was I
Was just like whenever I do these podcasts like sometimes I'm like, I don't really know to talk about whatever and then
So I'll look at certain websites and I'll see like headlines. I'm like, oh you talk about that a little bit
But I saw this other headline that said Selena Gomez unfollows 200 people and we're so confused
Eat no, I'm confused why this is a fucking article
Selena Gomez unfollows 200 people who gives a fuck
What do you mean? Why do you care? You know why you're confused cuz you're not supposed to care
I'm so confused. How could she do this without telling me or explaining herself dude
this the the like the TMZ people and just like
I
Don't get the obsession with celebrity to this degree
You know what I mean? I understand being a fan of somebody and being a fan of their work and being like, oh man
I fucking love but but but
You know
To think that these celebrities just owe an explanation for every single move they make is just psychotic behavior
And it's just really crazy. TMZ. It literally is I
Don't know how that's a thing still that needs to be outlawed that that whole
Fucking company needs to be outlawed. It's just out of control
We caught Kylie Jenner coming out of the club last night
Asked her about the prep. Are you pregnant? How about none of your fucking business? How's that?
Is this your fucking baby? No, so shut up
Jesus Christ
Everyone wants to know information from celebrities, but if someone asked them those questions, they'd be like, why are you asking me this?
It's so personal
God that just drives me insane
Selina Gomez unfollows 200 people and we're so confused. Oh
We're so confused why would she do that Selina explain I can't go I can't go through my day without knowing
My god
Dude, I don't know how all these celebrities like
Don't go insane like this is what happens
You wonder why celebrities just going saying Justin Bieber's got a tattoo across the stomach of like a bald eagle
Eating someone's dick or some shit. You wonder why people do stuff like that because again, I'm just trying to mix it up
I don't know. I'm fucking lose my mind
They just you know, you know a thousand people in your face every time you go somewhere
I can't even get a smoothie without someone asking me about a divorce
Like yo get the fuck out of here
Stop talking to me
You wonder why Kanye is always yelling at fucking paparazzi and shit
This shit is psychotic man. There's no way to live
It's got to be illegal
We got to fix that
Anyway, I did enough yelling today. My voice is actually like my throat's hurting from yelling and like
You know whoops, but I just had to uh
Had to say it somebody had to say it. Okay?
But yeah, that's that's it for the the basement yard this week
It's been fun. It's been real
But yeah
That's it. I don't know. I don't even know what to say
I'm going to the Steelers playoff game this weekend, which is gonna be fire got first row first row seats 50 yard line
For me and my buddy Danny who are big
Well, he's a diehard Steelers fan. I'm just like you I just want to go see a playoff football game
So, you know, but yeah, that should be fun as hell and probably talk about that next week
But anyway, that is all for the basement yard this week and thanks for listening. Yeah, my dad
