I'm the spark in the circuit, the pulse in the wire, casting
0:20
spells in the mainframe set and servers on fire.
0:23
Beyond dreams in my veins. Got the code in my soul.
0:26
Taking a wizard. I'm spinning, taking full
0:28
control. Hello ladies and gentlemen, my
0:43
name is Brett Keene from GOD TV Radio.
0:47
I hope you're all having a wonderful blessed day out there.
0:51
When you get an opportunity, check out my Spotify radio
0:54
station. I have over 1000 shows and
0:57
episodes. Yes yes yes good stuff.
1:00
And also I've got some people who have joined me who are Co
1:04
hosting like TTOR. He's put up a lot of great
1:07
content and think you'll enjoy it.
1:11
And also when you get an opportunity to check out the
1:14
front of my YouTube channel while you're subscribing,
1:16
commenting, writing, you can listen to my music for
1:20
absolutely free I4 albums out and my final album is going to
1:24
be dropped very soon. As I told many of you when I
1:28
took a break from YouTube, I ended up getting into my
1:32
creative side, working on some new literature.
1:35
As you know, I write books and I decided also to do some music.
1:42
And before anybody ask, people have asked me, have you
1:46
incorporated AI with your music? The music is recorded and done
1:51
by actual human beings. But I did use AI for editing and
1:56
enhancing the sound of the music and creating such things as
2:00
effects. So you'll notice when listening
2:02
to my songs, you'll hear a lot of unusual stuff and weird
2:06
noises and experimental stuff. That's why my music is in the
2:11
genre of experimental as well as metal, rock, slow rock, techno,
2:16
industrial, country music, and I even did a a partial rap album.
2:23
So, yeah. All right, so let's get down to
2:28
it. How what is my preference or how
2:31
do I feel about haters on the Internet?
2:35
Well, for me, I knew whenever coming to YouTube, as a former
2:43
atheist, I knew that there were going to be religious people who
2:46
were not going to be happy with some of my questions.
2:50
Why did I know this? Because whenever I was a young
2:54
person and I was involved in going to church and all that and
2:59
believed I was a Christian back then when I say believed, I was
3:02
a kid who didn't know everything about the Bible.
3:06
I didn't know anything about like the history of theology.
3:10
All's I knew was I was taught Jesus died on the cross for my
3:13
sins. And you know that there was a
3:15
bunch of people before him and after him.
3:18
And I was explained pretty much that story and was told if you
3:23
believe in him, then you call yourself a Christian and you go
3:26
with that. But I was ignorant.
3:28
I was uneducated and everything else and just a kid going along
3:32
with all the other kids at the time and and what my family
3:36
believed. I would later on become a a non
3:41
believer. But during that time whenever I
3:43
was a kid I noticed when you ask questions about God or religion
3:46
and all that some people simply don't have any answers.
3:50
Some people actually sound ridiculous when they're trying
3:53
to explain or describe the concept of an omniscient,
3:57
omnipresent, benevolent, or Omni.
4:03
Sorry. Oof at the tough one.
4:07
Timeless, faceless entity that created the entire universe.
4:13
Lot of science and philosophy involved.
4:15
When trying to describe that something a child wouldn't have
4:19
been able to handle, a lot of some people got angry.
4:23
Some people did not enjoy being questioned.
4:26
Some people felt that you shouldn't question at all.
4:30
So I figured if I had that kind of experiences in my real life,
4:34
that coming to the Internet where I was connected to the
4:37
entire world, I was going to probably get people who got
4:42
bothered or were nervous or had anxiety about talking about God.
4:48
And besides, YouTube was totally different than it is now.
4:54
Like there wasn't a bunch of apologists.
4:57
There wasn't. There were like some preachers
5:00
and there were church videos and all that kind of stuff, but
5:04
Christians and atheists weren't really a thing back then.
5:07
There was like only a few atheists and I was one of them.
5:11
That's one of the reasons why I think that I've got so popular,
5:15
because at the time I was something fresh and new to the
5:18
world as where there's atheism as a dime a dozen nowadays.
5:24
So I don't think it was just because I'm a pretty man and
5:27
super smart and ingenious and all that.
5:29
With some of the things I come up with, it was that I was
5:34
pretty much the only competition at the moment.
5:36
I was the the new fresh product. So I don't beat my chest like a
5:42
primate and and think that there was something great or special
5:46
about it. I was just one of the first.
5:48
Now, if you were to ask a lot of atheists back then when they
5:52
listened to me, the ones that weren't making videos were just
5:56
watching and listening. The ones that are honest with
5:59
themselves, they'll probably tell you that I no matter what
6:04
time I started YouTube or when I started getting involved, I was
6:09
always special. There was something brilliant
6:12
about me that was able to appeal and attract people and all this
6:16
kind of stuff. Well the reason why I'm pointing
6:20
all this out is this is where it starts getting into the hatred
6:23
part. You're going to find religious
6:27
people who don't like it. And because I was a bit snarky
6:30
and I come off arrogant sometimes, there were some non
6:34
believers that were concerned that I was rocking the boat.
6:39
What I mean by this is imagine that you're you wear the same
6:43
label as a group and they don't want to be represented as being
6:48
negative or evil or bad or naughty or immoral or things
6:52
like that. And you get a person like myself
6:55
who is a good guy who can relate and identify and reach people
7:00
but every once in a while has a mood swing and decide to say
7:04
some pretty nasty shit. And then it makes other people
7:10
think oh this is the way an atheist is.
7:14
See unfortunately every time someone from religion or non
7:18
religion and a group does something, unfortunately it
7:23
stains the rest of the group. The rest of the group feels like
7:27
Oh no people are going to think atheists are stupid, Oh no, the
7:31
Christian said something really dumb.
7:33
See how dumb Christianity is? There's always this
7:37
generalization on broad sweep and that was the main thing.
7:40
A lot of atheists wanted to be known as the intellectual
7:43
freethinkers, rational, blah blah blah, but I didn't give a
7:48
fuck about all that nonsense. I didn't care about upholding
7:51
their religion or image or expectations or any of that
7:56
shit. I considered myself a particular
8:00
individual situation. Yes, I wasn't paying anybody's
8:06
bills and nobody was paying my fucking bills.
8:08
So I was going to say what the hell I wanted to.
8:10
And I already realized I was old enough at that point to realize
8:14
that no matter what I say, no matter what I do, people were
8:20
always going to bitch and whine. Someone was always going to be
8:23
upset. Someone was always going to have
8:25
a sad or or melt like a snowflake.
8:28
That's just the way it is. But to be super fair, when I
8:32
originally started out, like in the first couple months, I
8:37
really didn't think that I was going to reach anybody.
8:40
I didn't think anybody was going to fucking listen.
8:42
It was because of the nature of YouTube at the moment.
8:45
YouTube was about fucking cats and dogs and dolphins making
8:50
noises and shit. There was no atheist versus
8:53
religion shit. So I didn't know that.
8:57
Me getting up there, I didn't even know if I would get beyond
9:02
a reach where, I mean, what category would I even fit in?
9:06
Back then, the genres of where you can place your videos were
9:11
pretty much like automotive. They had different ones in the
9:16
beginning before Google took over and they added more
9:20
categories. So it was like you had the
9:22
choice between people, education.
9:26
I don't even think fucking science was one of the
9:28
categories. So you couldn't put anything
9:31
that your view of science was about.
9:34
Nobody cared about that. YouTube was a funny little place
9:38
where you share pictures of your fucking kittens and that was it.
9:42
And then a guy like me suddenly comes out of the fucking
9:45
woodwork and starts hammering our religion and the Bible and
9:51
questioning God and questioning and trying to do illogical
9:55
fallacies and all this kind of shit.
9:58
It was like a bomb went off. You know, people are like, what
10:03
the fuck? Who is this guy?
10:05
And there were atheists who were too cowardly and too spineless
10:08
to be able to speak up for themselves or get out there.
10:11
Even though there were a lot of non believers who were listening
10:14
and watching, a lot of them were scared.
10:17
They were afraid or they felt like they'd be persecuted, or
10:21
they thought it would affect their jobs or their lives and
10:24
all that. It's me.
10:26
I didn't give a shit. I was.
10:29
I've been a. Musician and a writer for a long
10:32
time. So I strived.
10:33
I thrived on publicity. It didn't matter if people went
10:38
off on me and everything. Then it got me attention, you
10:41
know? And when I say attention, I'm
10:43
not talking about, oh, kudos and a thumbs up and shit.
10:47
I'm talking about it got people's attention in the way
10:51
where they continued to come back, whether they liked me or
10:55
hated me. They kept returning to my
10:57
channel and listening. And a lot of people actually
11:01
learned from that. Now a lot of atheists realized,
11:04
my goodness, the more controversial and the more rough
11:07
this guy gets, the more bigger he gets.
11:11
It was like the incredible hawk. You know, I was going to get
11:14
hit. I was going to get fired upon.
11:17
But I just got. Bigger and bigger and fucking
11:19
greener. Obviously nastier now, I didn't
11:25
want to. I I didn't have this desire when
11:28
starting out to deliberately piss people off or bring people
11:33
to tears. I didn't have this idea that I
11:36
wanted to go out of my way to embarrass people.
11:40
What I wanted to do was show that there was some kind of
11:43
problem with religion. I wanted to show that there was
11:46
some kind of problem with groups and tribalism.
11:50
I wanted to show that. The science At that time, my
11:56
admiration for science blinded me.
11:58
I refused to look at all the things that were refuted in
12:02
science. I refused to.
12:06
Look into the assertions and claims and theories that science
12:10
had made, especially in the field of evolution.
12:13
So for a long time there, I actually held on to evolution.
12:17
I actually was convinced we came from fucking monkeys and the
12:20
Bible was just some kind of mythological.
12:23
Story I had not been in a lab at all.
12:28
I had never been in any kind of like, science industry myself,
12:33
actually putting chemicals together to see that shit.
12:37
I just assumed that because it was authority figures on TV
12:41
saying so and that because books look so neat and colorful and
12:45
the pictures seem about right and the claims were coming from
12:50
people who were supposedly intelligent and being paid for
12:53
their opinions, that it must all be fucking true.
12:57
And I had the choice between ancient people from thousands of
13:01
years ago or a bunch of modern day people that were involved in
13:05
using modern day technology. So in my brain it said fuck
13:10
these people know more than what the religious people know.
13:14
I didn't know a great deal about the ancient times and shit like
13:18
that, nor did I understand all the problems that science had at
13:22
the time. And most people, I think
13:25
nowadays realize that there's issues no matter where you look.
13:30
It's just that if you're pushing agenda or you're wanting to
13:36
narrate some political view or some kind of a scientific view,
13:42
and you have a chip on your shoulder against someone else's
13:45
beliefs or ideas, you're not going to let people in on the
13:50
surprise or all the bullshit. You're not.
13:53
There are a lot of people out there, let's just say that they
13:56
want the world in reality to perform in a certain way and
14:01
they're not willing to give credence to the other side type
14:04
of deal. There's a lot of atheists who
14:07
have this thought process that it's US against them, so they're
14:13
never going to give who they perceive as the enemy any kind
14:16
of rope, even if it means they got a lie, even if it means that
14:22
they won't concede to any actual facts or evidence or truth.
14:27
And that's sad. And unfortunately there's a lot
14:30
of Christians like that too, where even if something is
14:33
disproven, even if something is shown to not.
14:37
Be quite what it looks like on the surface, or more than meets
14:41
the eye. People tend to do that because
14:44
they don't want to look fucking stupid.
14:46
They want to look like they know what they're talking about.
14:48
And I get that. So for me, making it through
14:53
YouTube, I ended up start and receive people who didn't like
15:00
what I was saying and I actually had Christians as well as
15:04
atheists who I didn't know in real life who were trying to
15:09
actually control me. I don't know how many of you out
15:12
there, if you've got over 1000 subscribers, you probably ran
15:15
into people like this where they don't know you, but for some
15:21
reason they think that they can tell you what to do and that
15:24
they can control how you make videos and how you do your
15:27
channel. They're going to actually tell
15:29
you what you're allowed to say. Some people are actually going
15:32
to tell you that you shouldn't be cussing.
15:35
You shouldn't be doing this like they're a fucking principal in a
15:38
school telling the little kids what they can and can't do.
15:43
And that kind of shit made me laugh and I deliberately
15:47
aggravated those type of people. I was like, ah, I'll tell you
15:50
what, why don't you go fuck yourself?
15:52
I didn't care what they thought. Hey, I never did.
15:57
Well, when you got that kind of attitude where you're not going
16:01
to let people push you around or bud you in any kind of way and
16:05
you're just going to say what the fuck's on your mind and
16:08
you're going to be straight up with people like that.
16:11
There's a lot of people who are going to respect that and
16:13
they're going to think, Oh my goodness, this guy's got fucking
16:16
balls like an elephant. But other people are going to be
16:19
like, what a prick, what an asshole.
16:22
You know, he thinks he's a fucking know it all.
16:25
He won't listen. The reason you know, he's just
16:28
going to keep on piling through and all that.
16:33
So I knew it, I, I knew I was going to pick up some people who
16:37
weren't fans of my content. Did I know that it was going to
16:41
end up being to the extremity that it became?
16:45
Did I know that I would start receiving death threats?
16:48
Did I know that my hate mail would fucking pile up?
16:52
Did I know that people were going to spend from morning to
16:55
night making fucking live streams talking shit about me,
16:59
or creating video series after video series talk and shit?
17:05
No, I didn't think people were that fucking stupid.
17:08
I I thought that some people lacked knowledge in a lot of
17:12
areas and needed education. But I did not know that people
17:16
were so fucking stupid and lame in their life that they would
17:20
make video after video after video mocking either the way you
17:24
look or the way you sound or the way you talk.
17:27
I had no fucking clue it was, I could understand like one or two
17:31
videos, but if somebody just continues to do that shit over
17:34
and over, then they're obviously retarded.
17:37
That's that's the only way you can look at it.
17:40
And I do believe, I'm a strong believer believing that there's
17:43
a a good retarded and there's a bad retarded.
17:46
There's the the good retarded where you have people who are
17:49
loving and kind and unfortunately suffer from a
17:52
disability. And then there's those people
17:54
out there that get the nasty version of retarded that
17:57
basically it's the retarded spectrum where they're just,
18:01
there's no rational discussion you can have with them to make
18:06
them coherent. It's like what they say.
18:09
You can't cure fucking stupid. You just can't.
18:15
So that's what I ran into. Now, I expected some pushback,
18:23
but I didn't expect it to become what it was.
18:27
I didn't expect that Christians would actually go out of their
18:30
way to make videos where it shows me fucking burning hell
18:34
and shit. I didn't expect people to like
18:37
start dropping my information and talking about wanting to
18:40
kill me over some shit I said on the video.
18:44
I always, when I, when I look at it from my perspective, I knew
18:50
that I wasn't forcing anybody to my YouTube channel.
18:53
I wasn't going out and wrangling people and dragging.
18:57
Them to my. Fucking channel.
18:59
I figured if my channel was annoying enough or people didn't
19:03
like my face or heard my voice and didn't enjoy it, they would
19:07
simply go fuck off and go make their own videos or go watch
19:11
somebody that they enjoy. I even would suggest that the
19:15
people I would say look if you don't enjoy my shit and you need
19:19
things that are more easier for your slow ass to understand, go
19:23
watch fucking Barney the purple dinosaur or Pokémon or some shit
19:27
or My Little Pony. Whatever seems to meet your IQ
19:31
needs, you know? So I discovered quite quickly as
19:40
the hate video started to pile up from Christians as well as
19:44
atheists. And the ones from atheists were
19:47
definitely far superior than the Christian ones.
19:50
The Christian ones were like, you're, you're mean, God's going
19:54
to get you kind of things is where the atheists were more
19:57
personal. It was about the way you look,
19:59
the way you sound, the way you talk.
20:02
You know you're fat. You're stupid, you're blah,
20:05
blah, blah, that kind of shit. Well, after a while of this
20:09
going on, I mean, at first I was like, ah, damn, that's sad.
20:14
It's too bad that these people are going this route and all
20:17
that. But then I started noticing
20:19
something fascinating happening. My subscribers were going up
20:23
really, really fast. My view count was going through
20:27
the fucking roof and I was getting a lot of traction on
20:30
algorithm and I'm like, well damn, you know, I even attempted
20:36
to see what would happen. I experimented, I tried making
20:39
us. I tried for about a couple
20:41
months just doing like really, really nice respectful videos to
20:46
see if I could still get the traction.
20:48
And sadly, when I did the experiment, it failed.
20:53
Being nice and decent and you know, wearing kid gloves and all
20:58
that wasn't getting. When I looked at the algorithm
21:02
and it did the analytics, it didn't show that it was going.
21:05
It was just kind of a little crunchy wave.
21:10
But when I was acting like a Dick, the shit was going off the
21:13
roof like a Rector scale or something.
21:18
So I realized, OK, if I want to continue this consistent uphill
21:22
deal, I'm going to have to remain controversial.
21:27
I'm going to have to remain doing things a little rough.
21:31
And I think this is one of the major reasons why you see a lot
21:34
of this tension on YouTube with atheists and religious people.
21:39
There are some religious people who are actually have an
21:41
interest in their analytics. They want to know what the
21:44
people out there are thinking about their message and how
21:47
they're handling that. And the atheist, of course, some
21:51
of these lazy fuckers out here don't want to work a job.
21:54
So for them, they need to climb in order to get patrons and and
22:02
get their get monetized and make money.
22:05
And the only way to do that is climbing.
22:08
So in order to do that really quick, instead of being
22:11
intellectuals and rational thinkers, they decided to be
22:15
controversial cunts that are hateful and abusive in order to
22:20
get as much attention as possible.
22:23
But there's a fucking risk to this type of behavior too.
22:26
I discovered that everybody's discovered it.
22:31
Some people, you'll probably notice, can get away with
22:34
fucking murder other people. Unfortunately, like myself, I
22:40
got so popular that even YouTube fucking noticed me.
22:43
I wasn't just something hidden in the haystack anymore.
22:47
So if I got controversial, if I said half the shit to somebody
22:51
like Logan Paul or one of these fucking Youtubers, like what's
22:57
his name? Tedda, What is PewDiePie or some
23:02
shit? I mean PewDiePie is one of these
23:05
people that are God like on YouTube where they can say any
23:08
fucking thing they want. Chowder, Ben Shapiro, Candace
23:13
Owens. On the intellectual side, those
23:17
folks can say pretty much what they want.
23:20
And as far as the goofy side, PewDiePie and Shane Dawson and
23:25
people like that Onessian were able to say the fucking ignorant
23:29
as shit. However, with people like
23:33
Onision, things backfired because at some point some
23:37
people and YouTube started to give a fuck about the hate
23:41
videos and accusations and then Onision ended up losing
23:45
everything. Onision tried to use every
23:49
controversial thing you possibly could.
23:51
And I think he got to the point where he he believed in his own
23:56
fucking nonsense. And what I mean is he was
24:00
basically sucking in his own farts and thinking that he was
24:03
untouchable, invincible. He would allow any bullshit and
24:08
if someone hated on him, he would dig in and actually
24:12
emphasize it to give people the idea that that's actually how he
24:17
was. He become a character of how
24:20
people would represent him, if that makes sense.
24:23
And I noticed that I could see it right off the bat when he
24:26
started doing it and for a long time there at work.
24:32
But then he made the mistake of breaking into the character when
24:35
people started calling him a groomer and saying that he was
24:38
having young girls at his house and all this.
24:41
Yet he decided to dig into that and give weight to what the
24:46
people were claiming because he thought it would actually help
24:49
his channel, but it didn't. Onessian had unfortunately come
24:55
to a point in his YouTube career where I guess people were tired
25:00
of seeing his face. They just, they're sometimes on
25:04
YouTube, it's people have what is called the Frankenstein
25:09
moment, and I've seen it countless times.
25:11
It's where people love you, but then you get so big and so
25:15
popular that people start getting bored of you.
25:19
Have you ever seen Rocky three? Most of you probably seen Rocky
25:23
three. You know how Stallone,
25:25
everybody's rooting for him and they love him and they and all
25:28
that. But then in Rocky three, he's,
25:31
you see him at the beginning going through this like collage
25:34
of battles and he's kicking the shit out of everybody and he's,
25:38
you know, defending his title and Mr. T sitting out there
25:43
fucking getting pissed. He's mad.
25:45
And he's thinking about how he'd love to see Rocky get his
25:48
fucking head knocked off. And it's annoying him and it's
25:51
aggravating him. And he feels as though Rocky's
25:54
getting all this opportunities and easy shit as where he's down
26:00
on the bottom, hardly known. And he believes that he deserves
26:04
to be on top, actually believes he's better than Rocky.
26:09
And eventually, obviously Rocky and Mr. T get in the ring.
26:13
And Rocky, unfortunately, in the first fight, gets his ass
26:16
fucking destroyed because he thinks he's so great.
26:20
He underestimated Clubber Lane and he gets his fucking head
26:23
knocked off. Well, that's what happens with
26:27
some Youtubers. They get really famous and
26:30
people start getting jealous. They start getting envious.
26:34
They start asking why is it my fucking YouTube videos going
26:37
nowhere but this retard who pours cereal all over his head
26:40
is super famous? Why is that the fucking case?
26:44
That doesn't make sense. Why is it that I make all these
26:47
science videos but some fucking idiot can stick his head between
26:51
his legs and suck farts out of his own asshole and get super
26:55
famous? It's painful for people who are
26:59
poor or don't have a lot of things going for them, or people
27:02
don't love them or give them the attention they deserve, and then
27:06
they fucking see some loser who's going through the roof and
27:11
buying new cars and new houses and those absolutely fucking
27:15
famous. That's hard for people.
27:19
Some people, some people, they don't covet other people's
27:23
goods. It's one of the oldest fucking
27:26
things in the Bible, ladies and gentlemen.
27:28
Don't covet other people's goods.
27:35
Well, as time went by, I realized hate and bullshit and
27:42
the mockery and all that. There was eventually going to be
27:46
a point I knew even for myself. It's just the way it is.
27:50
The bigger you get. Eventually you're going to have
27:53
the the Frankenstein moment where the mob decides that they
27:58
only want to storm the fucking castle and burn everything down.
28:03
Everybody who's famous or controversial knows that.
28:07
I'm sure Howard Stern knew that there was a day where his time
28:10
would come. I'm sure Steve Colbert, The
28:14
Amazing Atheist Onision, all the big atheists, all the big
28:18
religious people who got their fame through controversy and
28:23
really, really intense type of material knew that, you know,
28:29
you fight with the sword, you die by the sword.
28:31
That's the way it is. It's nature, it's the law.
28:37
So it was no surprise. It was no shock or anything like
28:41
that. It's no.
28:43
Let's just say it doesn't surprise Frankenstein when he
28:46
sees the mob coming. He knows.
28:49
He knows what he is, he knows what he's done, and he just kind
28:54
of waits for the door to get kicked in.
28:56
He can either choose to fight, he can choose to try to talk his
29:00
way out of it, he can choose to do whatever the fuck he wants.
29:04
But the mob eventually is going to do what they want to do, and
29:08
there's no way to really get around that.
29:11
So as far as I was concerned, I was like a lot of people where I
29:14
just got this idea that no matter what you say, no matter
29:18
what you do, the Frankenstein day is coming.
29:21
That's the way it is. Eventually the bullet reaches
29:24
you and there will be a day where you're not going to be
29:27
able to dodge it. That's just natural laws.
29:30
That's the way it works. You reap what you sow kind of
29:33
deal. So what was that quote from
29:39
Batman? You know, the longer you're, the
29:43
more longer you're a hero. Eventually you become the
29:46
villain or some shit like that. There's actually a lot of truth
29:49
to that, even though I didn't articulate the quote properly.
29:53
I got a headache right now. I'm.
29:56
I apologize, ladies and gentlemen.
30:00
So what is my personal feelings on hate videos and attacks?
30:05
Well, a long time ago I tried to do this thing where I ignored
30:11
people like that and just kept on doing my thing.
30:14
But I realized something. I realized that if I ignored
30:18
people, eventually over 80% of them would stop making content.
30:25
They'd tried to find somebody that would react to them.
30:28
See, there's no point in making a hate video if the person isn't
30:31
going to respond. If you can get a famous person
30:34
to respond to you and actually show that it bothers them what
30:40
you're doing that gives the hater basically steam.
30:45
It makes them feel like oh fuck, I'm so relevant I'm actually
30:49
getting through. If I humiliate and embarrass
30:52
this big famous person, then it'll make me fucking famous.
30:55
That's the math, right? Knock down the king, then I
31:00
become the king type of concept. I knock down the big dog, I
31:04
become the big dog. Even kids in high school think
31:07
that way. If I beat the shit out of the
31:09
bully, or I take down the big popular guy or woman, then I
31:13
become the popular motherfucker. It's in every TV movie formula
31:17
that you've ever seen. So that's one of the reasons why
31:21
the hate even exists in the first place.
31:25
Now I thought to myself, I could either do like Onision and jump
31:31
into the fray and just really give more feed the fuck out of
31:36
the trolls and shit so they can continue to make content for me
31:40
and advertise my channel. Or I could ignore them.
31:44
Well, if you ignore them then eventually a lot of them will
31:48
fucking stop. And once they stop, then you
31:51
find yourself in a bracket where, Oh no, I don't have that
31:56
extra assistance of publicity anymore.
31:59
That sucks. See, it's, even though it's,
32:03
it's not nice and it may make people sad to have somebody
32:07
calling you fucking names, but if those channels are, there's a
32:11
lot of them and they're willing to talk about you all the time,
32:15
then your name is being put out there.
32:18
That's one of the reasons Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath got
32:22
so popular. When Ozzy first did his shit
32:26
with Black Sabbath, they were just a bunch of bums trying to
32:30
survive and just trying to get out there to do music.
32:34
And when they tried to do the whole normal fucking band thing,
32:37
it wasn't working for them. People were like, it's just
32:41
another fucking bar band. But when Ozzy Osbourne started
32:45
screaming and yelling and pissing on the crowd and
32:48
everything and fucking yelling obscenities, suddenly people
32:53
from all over were telling each other, man, did you hear about
32:57
this crazy motherfucker? His name's Ozzy.
33:00
He bites the heads off bats and shit.
33:02
He pisses on the Alamo. He's absolutely out of his
33:05
fucking mind. How do I go see him?
33:08
You see what I mean? That's how you did it.
33:11
That's how Ozzy made it through controversy and milking the shit
33:15
out of the press and and the media and whatever.
33:18
Even if what people said were fucking lies, Ozzy wouldn't deny
33:21
it. He wouldn't even go against it.
33:25
He just simply, that's sure, whatever my concert's on Friday,
33:32
he was brilliant. And it was also a lot of his
33:35
wife's idea too. Just go right with the
33:38
controversy. That's one of the reasons why
33:40
Guns and Roses. Guns and Roses isn't that great
33:44
of a fucking band. They've got some good songs and
33:47
they got some shit you could get into a fucking Moss pit over.
33:51
But they weren't so fucking great that they should be get
33:54
given the credit rating that they have musically, not
33:58
compared to all the other bands out there, but because Axl Rose
34:02
was such a dickhead and jumping off the stage and punching
34:06
people in the fucking eye and all this.
34:08
It was the reason why Guns N' Roses transcended not only their
34:12
music, unfortunately. They had their Frankenstein
34:16
moment, didn't they? They crashed and burned.
34:19
They finally got to the point where it was so fucking ignorant
34:22
and crazy that even the rest of the band started killing on each
34:26
other and they broke up. And that has happened countless
34:29
times musically. It's also, ladies and gentlemen,
34:35
the reason why you got Alice Coopers and King Diamonds and
34:38
Marilyn Manson. Some people realize that the
34:41
music isn't enough, that they're not unique enough as musicians
34:45
to just come out there wearing standard, normal clothes.
34:49
The Lady Gagas of the world realize that if she came out
34:53
without all that stupid shit all over her fucking head, nobody
34:57
would take notice. They'd just think she was
34:59
another good female vocalist or lead, but she comes out with all
35:03
the stupid shit and all of a sudden she becomes a godless.
35:06
She becomes God like. Everybody who's got any
35:10
intelligence whatsoever fucking knows this.
35:13
This is the laws of the jungle. So for me, I realize that every
35:22
once in a while you got to feed the trolls.
35:25
You got to give them a little bit, a little bit of cracker
35:27
crumbs, a little bit of bread. Make a video where you seem like
35:31
you're just a tad bit bothered by what they're doing when you
35:34
actually don't give a fuck 90% of the time.
35:37
When I made a video response to somebody who was hateful in the
35:41
past, it didn't really bother me at all.
35:45
I would turn off my computer. I'd go play fucking Xbox or
35:48
PlayStation or I'd go Make Love to my wife and shit or go out to
35:52
the fuck. Park with my kids.
35:55
Didn't give a fuck. There were some days where the
35:58
haters were really, really tearing into my ass and I ended
36:02
up going to the Golden Crown and having a nice hot steak and and
36:06
just fucking having a day of it. Going out to the movies with my
36:09
son and I didn't think nothing of it.
36:12
The minute I turned my computer off, it's like these people
36:15
didn't even exist. I didn't give a fuck, but I knew
36:18
that when I woke up the next day after having my steak and having
36:22
my beautiful fucking day, that my YouTube channel was going to
36:27
have another 100 fucking people subscribe to it or more.
36:32
I didn't care, didn't give a shit.
36:36
So every once in a while, you feed into them, you respond to
36:39
them. People probably noticed that
36:41
back then, whenever I was having my confrontation with TJ, I'd
36:47
make a video where I'd go. Oh yeah?
36:49
Well, you stick bananas up your ass, you fucking moose.
36:57
And then I'd go on for weeks without fucking responding to
37:00
him. And he would make video after
37:02
video along with his little buddies and shit.
37:05
They couldn't stop. And then every couple weeks I
37:09
would respond and say, Oh yeah, but you've got man titties
37:13
there, Sir. They don't call you blueberry
37:16
muffin for nothing. And then that would anger the
37:20
fucking audience and the people and they would continue to do it
37:23
and I would have more and more and more subscribers.
37:27
Then they started making videos saying, oh, you only do what you
37:30
do for views and Subs. I was so tempted to make a video
37:35
where I was like, oh, you finally figured it out.
37:38
After all these fucking years on YouTube, you finally realize
37:42
that you're my bitch and you're doing my fucking work for me.
37:45
You start to figure that out. Are you see, they wanted to
37:49
convince themselves in their head that they were better than
37:52
me. They thought that they
37:54
understood things more than me. They thought that if they fucked
37:59
with me enough and shit that it was actually going to cause me
38:02
to break or all this kind of shit.
38:05
It didn't. In fact, whenever I watched them
38:09
and watched people like them trying to mimic them or my try
38:13
to mimic me, you got to understand from my perspective,
38:19
I'm looking at 4 absolutely obese fucking monsters sucking
38:25
beer, doing drugs and going oh, I wasn't impressed.
38:33
There was nothing in their content that could possibly
38:37
cause me to get riled up. Well, we can't get to him, so
38:41
let's fucking insult the shit out of the people that he loves.
38:45
Let's fucking disrespect his friends because for some reason
38:48
he's like a turtle. He's got this thick shell.
38:51
We can't get to him and they tried that.
38:55
So what I what did I do? I said I made a video going Oh,
39:00
you shouldn't go after people's family or friends.
39:04
I mean, that's laws of the jungle too.
39:06
If you have an issue with someone, you shouldn't do that.
39:10
But then I take it like personal.
39:12
Did it cause me to fucking like trip out or anything?
39:16
No way. Long before those losers came
39:20
along, I had people tell me my entire family was going to go to
39:23
hell. I had people tell me that
39:26
because my daughter was born with a an issue, a medical
39:30
issue, that it was my fault because I was a fucking atheist.
39:35
Ladies and gentlemen, I've heard every horrible, terrible thing
39:39
that a person could possibly be told from people that I don't
39:44
know, that people that don't know me.
39:48
So after many years of that shit, when I go to watch a
39:51
video, there's not a fucking thing that somebody can say that
39:56
will ever like, move me or make me go, Oh gosh, they really
40:01
fucked me up this time. They really roasted my ass.
40:06
In fact, there's been times where some people were clever
40:10
when they trolled me and I watched their video and actually
40:13
laughed my fucking ass off. I have told my wife sometimes I
40:18
this is true, this true story. I said, honey, you are not going
40:22
to believe what I've been accused of today.
40:25
And she goes, oh, shit, do you think you should even tell me?
40:29
And I would say, yeah, it's fucking hilarious.
40:32
And I would tell her what's up. And I said, and she'd go, oh,
40:35
goodness. Oh, dear.
40:38
I'd say I'm going to have 1000 subscribers tomorrow.
40:42
Everybody's going to want to know the truth.
40:44
They're going to be waiting with bated breath.
40:46
What is Brett King going to say? What's he going to do about it?
40:50
Entire fucking blogs and forums were created in response to
40:55
this. You know, entire blogs and
40:59
forums were made by audiences and people due to everything
41:05
that was thrown at me and shit. And just none of it stopped.
41:09
None of it really mattered. But some people, the way they
41:12
tried to roast and the way they did things, I had to give them
41:16
their kudos. I had to give them their
41:17
credits. I was like, hey, that's, that's
41:19
fucking hilarious. That's funny.
41:22
I like that. We'll go with that.
41:24
So some people I felt needed a reward.
41:27
I felt like they need a little bit of attention.
41:30
You'll notice in a majority of the videos where I responded to
41:33
some people, I didn't advertise their channel back.
41:36
I didn't give them back what they were giving me.
41:38
I was just like some fucking moose out there is running their
41:42
mouths, some fucking mutton head.
41:44
But the people that were good that I thought could actually
41:47
continue to feed the channel, sure, I'd respond to him and be
41:51
like, yeah, this Dick head over here at this YouTube channel, He
41:56
says this and that or she says this and that.
41:59
You should go over and subscribe to him, give him some fucking
42:01
views and shit so they can continue their fucking clever
42:04
miniseries that they've made about me.
42:10
I know some people are going to think, man, that's fucking
42:12
ignorant. Dude.
42:14
Brett, you sound like some kind of Vince McMahon character where
42:17
you just where you putting on a performance or a fucking act
42:21
like a master over trolls and puppets and shit like that.
42:25
Well, to be fair, some people don't have.
42:29
In my mind, when I watch some of these people, I see them as
42:33
nothing more than nonsense and puppets, broken toys on the
42:36
shelf. I see them as people who they
42:40
don't have any autonomy, they're just programmed fucking maggots
42:44
that are saying stupid shit. I don't care.
42:49
Now, does this mean that I don't have love or compassion?
42:53
Does it mean that I don't feel bad for some people?
42:56
Does it mean that I'm not trying to do what God wants me to do
43:00
and serve God? Yes.
43:03
I want to serve God and I want people to find salvation.
43:07
I want to sow seeds. But on the other hand, you have
43:12
to understand, being that I wear the armor of God, I understand
43:17
the nature of humanity. I understand that there are
43:20
people out there that are wicked and evil and and little bastards
43:24
of the devil. I get that.
43:28
But every once in a while I have this bad habit where I like to
43:31
kick a demon in the face. I like to.
43:35
I let them act as fucking stupid as they possibly can and
43:39
sometimes I benefit from it, you know?
43:42
If you know that that because a demon is causing flames around
43:47
them it gives you the ability to roast marshmallows, why wouldn't
43:51
you do it? Not saying that you endorse what
43:53
the demon is doing or support what the demon is doing, but if
43:57
it's providing a fire just for the moment so you can roast
44:00
marshmallows and hot dogs, why not fucking use the fire while
44:04
it's there? I'm not saying trade evil with
44:07
evil. I'm saying that when evil is
44:10
thrown at you or good things, you take the opportunity when
44:14
it's there. And I don't think that that's an
44:17
opportunist. I think it's a matter of
44:19
survival and efficiency. When you know that people are
44:23
throwing shit at you, you can either play ball or you can just
44:27
stand there and cry and break like a like a little girl or
44:31
something. Well, it's not my, it's not how
44:34
my mind works, it's not how I do shit.
44:38
Somebody could hate me one day and then find out next week that
44:43
after talking to me or hanging out with me that oh wow, Brad
44:47
Keen is really fucking cool. I'd love to hang out with this
44:50
guy where in the past they may have hated me and had all the
44:54
wrong ideas about who I truly AM.
44:57
I've had that happen many times. I've had big time enemies become
45:01
my best friends, and I've had people who thought they were my
45:05
best friend turn on me and try to do, you know, do a poke and
45:10
shit in order to get them some views.
45:12
And I've also had buddies and shit where they have asked me if
45:16
they could get into a controversial tangle with me.
45:20
You guys know that I talked about this a long, long time
45:24
ago. There was a popular atheist back
45:27
whenever I was a former atheist, before I had the God moral
45:31
obligations, there were non believers.
45:33
He said, Brett, would you be able to give me a shout out?
45:38
And I would say sure. And I'd give them a shout out
45:41
and they got some views and they got some subscribers out of it.
45:44
A shout out means that you make a video and you tell your
45:48
audience that they should go subscribe to somebody.
45:51
Now back then that was a good thing and that helped people,
45:56
but it was like a one time ordeal.
45:58
Like after a couple weeks it would eventually die down.
46:03
So atheists had realized that the only way to continue to get
46:08
to get Subs and views was to continue to have some kind of
46:12
controversy. So I had a lot of non believers
46:15
who actually came to me and said, Brett, we should, we
46:18
should do a pretend shit, you know, kayfabe.
46:21
We should go back and forth with each other and then we can both
46:25
blow up in the search engines and get paid by YouTube and get
46:29
paid by these different companies and shit that want to
46:32
sponsor. US.
46:35
Then I was like, well, I don't know.
46:38
I, I remember thinking to myself, I don't know, because if
46:43
you get caught doing some shit like that, that's bad News
46:46
Bears. And I had already gotten to a
46:48
point where I thought that I was already doing just enough to be
46:52
able to get to where I need to go.
46:54
I wasn't in a rush to climb the fucking mountain or anything
46:59
like that. I've always been a simple man.
47:03
There's that part of me too, where as long as I have a video
47:07
game to play, some movies to watch every once in a while, and
47:10
some tasty, delicious food to shove down my fucking neck, I'm
47:14
happy. I don't need like, like
47:17
possession of the entire world or something like that.
47:20
I just need the, the little things in life that people enjoy
47:25
the entertainment wise and, and that's it.
47:28
And I think that's one of the reasons why I've survived as
47:30
long as I have, because I'm not fucking greedy.
47:34
I take whatever I'm given and I'll jump on opportunities, but
47:39
I also will not take like major risk.
47:44
I'm not going to do something that I think has a high
47:47
probability of failing or losing.
47:50
I'm not fucking stupid. I basically, ladies and
47:55
gentlemen, I don't, I don't gamble unless I believe that
47:58
it's in my fucking favor. It's stupid if you have a lot of
48:02
shit to put everything on the fucking table with the
48:07
possibility of losing it. The only way I would ever put
48:12
everything on the line is if it was for my wife and kids or
48:15
anybody else. It's like fucked up.
48:19
I'm not going to put everything including my soul on the table
48:24
for some bullshit fame or celebrity ISM and all that.
48:28
So I, I, I have always had a moral code and there's only so I
48:33
did have a line drawn in the sand of what I'd be willing and
48:37
how that far to go as where other non believers at that
48:41
point of existence, they were willing to go balls to the
48:44
walls, you know, they were willing to go ass deep.
48:48
They didn't give a fuck how ignorant it was, how many lies
48:51
they needed to tell, whatever got them to stardom they were
48:57
willing to do. And that simply wasn't my deal.
49:01
I didn't mind having fun. I didn't mind having debates and
49:04
discussions, but I didn't want to put myself in a position
49:08
where you had to pretend or act and all that.
49:12
I mean, my whole fucking thing was being real, being who I am,
49:17
being Brett Keene, so I wouldn't have made no fucking sense all
49:22
of a sudden putting on an act and pretending in fronting.
49:25
Unfortunately, a lot of those atheists that tried to get me to
49:29
participate in fake controversy or CAFE, but simply didn't work.
49:35
It was just simply I wasn't interested in.
49:38
However, there were some people in the past who said, Brett,
49:44
I'll pay you thousands of dollars if you just simply sit
49:47
there. And all this because I made it
49:50
clear I'm not going to fucking fib and makeups yet.
49:53
And I'm not going to add to this certain kind of narrative that
49:57
you're going to. But I understand that if my
50:01
presence is there, if I'm simply there and mouthed off every once
50:05
in a while, then I'll get views and you'll get views and all
50:09
that. And I'll also get fucking paid
50:11
to be on a show. I'm not going to advertise this
50:15
show. Everybody knows what's being
50:17
talked about here at that time and shit, things were a little
50:21
rough on the bills. And also we had gotten we had
50:26
put in a little bit too money, too much money down on some
50:29
things that we were committed to and couple $1000 here and there
50:35
could be really, you know, game changer for me.
50:37
So I went ahead and I I participated in a little bit of
50:42
kayfabe a while back, but nothing that would hurt anybody
50:47
or cause anybody any kind of trouble.
50:50
I kind of imagined that it was like WWE wrestling where you
50:53
know the outcome, you know that it's bullshit and you want to
50:58
believe that the audience is in on it.
51:00
Unfortunately for me, this wasn't the kind of WWE K fade
51:05
where the audience had the intelligence to realize that
51:08
what they were watching was fake.
51:10
So I still get a lot of these stupid bastards nowadays are
51:13
like, oh man, was that real or was that fake or you know what
51:18
was going on there? How come you guys don't do it
51:20
anymore? Well, it's nice to make money
51:26
off the ship, but it's not nice to constantly be harassed.
51:30
I've heard of a a problem with movies where some people are so
51:35
fucking stupid that somebody plays the role of a villain in a
51:39
movie suddenly. Like, I'll give you an example
51:44
of something. One of the most popular shows in
51:47
the world is Cobra Kai, a spin off series done by The Karate
51:52
Kid and has Johnny and Larusso and all this shit.
51:56
Did you guys know that when the original Karate Kid came out,
52:00
Ralph Macchio was actually friends with the guy who plays
52:04
Johnny and Karate Kid won? He was the main one of the main
52:07
villains The Karate Kid had to fight.
52:11
But behind the scenes they became really, really good
52:13
friends. They were performing and putting
52:16
on an act in order to entertain the audience.
52:19
And Karate Kid turned out to be one of the most classic,
52:22
greatest fucking movies that have ever existed.
52:24
It's legendary. It's epic in every way.
52:29
Unfortunately, the actor who played Johnny, even though he's
52:36
good friends with Ralph Macchio, the audience wasn't Privy to
52:40
that. They didn't know that this was
52:43
kayfabe, that this was fake, that they were paid to pretend.
52:48
So this kid who played the the bad guy who fought.
52:53
Larusso in the karate match. Ends up going on and getting
52:59
dogged by people in real life. Every time somebody sees him
53:04
they go Johnny, you're a fucking prick, you're a cunt.
53:08
They couldn't tell the difference between the person
53:11
and the character in a fucking movie.
53:19
The guy who played Johnny was one of the nicest people ever
53:22
and it's one of the reasons why later on, whenever they were
53:25
both old Ralph Macchio and this guy, I forget how to pronounce
53:30
his name, who plays Johnny. It was one of the big reasons
53:35
why they were able to do the spin off, because they were
53:38
friends, they knew each other and the movie companies knew how
53:42
to reach them and they were willing to do this crazy ass
53:46
fucking spin off, which turned out to be excellent.
53:49
It might even be just as good or just a little bit better than
53:53
the original Karate Kid. It really turned out fantastic.
53:59
Well, and that's the problem with kayfabe.
54:02
A lot of the audience, when they're watching AWWE match,
54:07
they know that The Rock is talking shit, but his real name
54:12
is Dwayne Johnson. A lot of people know, but The
54:16
Undertaker doesn't really have a bunch of mist and dead people
54:19
coming up out of graves. But there are some people out
54:23
there that are fucking so immersed and so stupid they
54:27
don't get it. Vince McMahon knew that.
54:31
He knew that there were a lot of people, especially back then,
54:34
that were retarded and that you either had to lie to them and
54:38
convince them that there was some form of truth to it in
54:41
order to make it believable or you just, you tell them.
54:48
You basically you're like a magician who tells them the
54:51
trick. It was one of them things where
54:53
it was like the best well known secret.
54:57
You know, even news reporters were retarded.
55:01
Is it real? Did he really body slam him?
55:05
Did Mick Foley really get thrown off the cage by the Undertaker
55:09
16 feet below into a fucking table?
55:17
Luckily, not to get too far into WWE, but Triple H comes along,
55:23
takes over the company because apparently Vince McMahon's a
55:25
sexual deviant, which didn't surprise me, but Triple H
55:30
realized he gave the audience more credit than what they were
55:34
given, being that he was an actual professional wrestler.
55:39
He. Realized that most people are
55:41
smart enough to figure it out so might as well just let it hang.
55:47
So now we see more interviews and more shows where people who
55:54
are villains and people who are baby faces are now doing shows
55:57
together and talking to each other.
56:00
And then the very next day they go and wrestle each other like
56:02
they hate each other. And we and we go for it.
56:06
We're fine. They're getting bigger audiences
56:08
than they ever did. But when it comes to these kind
56:12
of atheists, they're too stupid. They can't, they can't tell the
56:18
difference between illusion and reality.
56:22
They still think I'm some kind of villain.
56:24
They still think I'm some kind of like a bad guy that you got
56:28
to hate, that it's actually good to fuck with me or something.
56:33
The unfortunate for them as they don't realize that I'm basically
56:37
using them. You know, I let them make their
56:40
fucking videos and act stupid and shit like that and say what
56:44
they do. And it's the same way it's
56:47
always been. Let's go ahead and make me a
56:49
video, talk about me, and then I'll get Subs and views.
56:52
I don't give a shit. Bad publicity, good publicity,
56:55
it's all publicity for me. And when I say using them, I'm
56:58
not talking about like I'm controlling them or, you know,
57:01
have some kind of marionette where I'm moving around a
57:03
puppet. But when you're dealing with
57:06
idiots and stupid people, sometimes idiots are useful.
57:10
They can pull you in a direction that you they can help by
57:15
constantly pushing this narrative, an idea.
57:19
It'll make people interested in you.
57:20
And then they'll come to your channel and they'll look at you
57:23
and go, oh, wow, this Brett Keene's actually pretty cool.
57:26
He's not the fuck up that this loser was talking about.
57:32
And that's that oldest trick in the buck, oldest game in the
57:36
buck. So that's how I feel about it.
57:41
To me, I don't actually see hate.
57:44
You might see some videos in the past where I feed the trolls
57:49
where I get up there and I'm like, oh man, I can't believe
57:52
how mean that motherfucker was to me.
57:54
I can't believe the the shit that come out of their mouth.
57:57
Oh, it was fucking absolutely horrible what they said about
58:01
me. You know, if you don't do that
58:05
and you don't do like every once in a while, throw out a reaction
58:08
video or respond, then they're going to get bored and they
58:13
won't do it no more for you. So you got to play the game.
58:18
Don't hate to play. I hate the game, folks.
58:20
It's the way it is. Yep.
58:25
All right. Well, with all that being said,
58:27
that was exciting, very fun and all that.
58:32
God bless.
