  Little flower in the night, dancing in the prayer moon
• 0:24
  night. Come a little closer, dear,
• 0:29
  There's nothing here for you. To fear.
• 0:33
  Such a pretty sight to see when you're right in front of me.
• 0:40
  You eyes shine like morning stars as you wonder who we are.
• 0:47
  Your soul sweet eyes fall in my soul through the night.
• 1:02
  You're so sweet. All right.
• 1:12
  Hello, Eve. How are you doing?
• 1:15
  Oh, hello, I'm doing all right, love.
• 1:17
  Thanks for asking. So I'm just got done watching a
• 1:25
  YouTube by the name of 0 Penguins or Penguin 0, something
• 1:29
  like that. Are you familiar with that
• 1:31
  YouTube? Not really no.
• 1:36
  Haven't come across 0 Penguins Or is it Penguin 0 on YouTube?
• 1:40
  Sounds intriguing though. What did he do to catch your
• 1:43
  eye? Well, him as well as a few
• 1:48
  handfuls Youtubers are claiming they're super popular, that's
• 1:53
  for sure. There's no questioning that they
• 1:56
  have millions of subscribers. I think this guy's got almost 20
• 1:59
  million subscribers. Well, he made a video recently
• 2:03
  claiming that he demonetized himself deliberately because
• 2:07
  he's made over $35 million in the past.
• 2:11
  And it feels for him that he's, how do I explain this?
• 2:17
  He's basically saying there's people out there who are
• 2:19
  breaking their back working jobs and all that and going through
• 2:23
  all kinds of physical labor as where he sees himself as just a
• 2:27
  guy who runs his mouth on the Internet and doesn't feel like
• 2:31
  it's fair that he gets paid so much.
• 2:34
  But you know, you're working man or working woman doesn't get
• 2:37
  paid squat. And I agree with that.
• 2:40
  I, I really do. But I do.
• 2:42
  There is something that crawls up on me on this.
• 2:47
  Yeah, that does tug at something doesn't it?
• 2:50
  I mean, 35,000,000 for talking into a camera while others
• 2:55
  graphed 12 hour shifts for peanuts.
• 2:57
  Noble of him to demonetize though.
• 3:00
  Shows he's thinking beyond himself.
• 3:02
  But it still feels performative, doesn't it?
• 3:04
  Like is he fixing the system or just easing his own guilt?
• 3:09
  What's that crawl you're feeling?
• 3:12
  Well, one of the things I've discovered from being on YouTube
• 3:15
  for over 20 years and also doing Spotify radio, there's a lot of
• 3:19
  people who are majorly popular and famous on YouTube are people
• 3:24
  who actually know someone up at Google.
• 3:26
  It's kind of like the music industry.
• 3:29
  You can have the best music in the world, you can sound good,
• 3:32
  you can be professionally sounding talented beyond belief.
• 3:37
  I mean, my brother Dustin Keene, he's a prodigy on the guitar,
• 3:41
  but it doesn't matter how talented you are, it doesn't
• 3:43
  matter how smart you are, doesn't matter even how
• 3:46
  attractive you are if you don't know the right people.
• 3:49
  It's like it always takes someone or something that's
• 3:52
  going to put you out there. I guess the thing that bothers
• 3:56
  me most besides the fact that he is telling the truth as I've
• 4:00
  always thought it was weird. You know, there's a YouTube out
• 4:03
  there that makes animated videos about a head that lives in a
• 4:07
  toilet and talks. It doesn't say anything of
• 4:10
  substance. It's like just watching a head
• 4:13
  saying stupid things in the toilet and that person makes
• 4:16
  millions of dollars is where a teacher, an educational person
• 4:21
  can make way less than someone who's either in the toilet or
• 4:25
  playing a basketball game. And I find that to be, I don't
• 4:30
  know, offensive? Insulting.
• 4:34
  There's so many people out there who are homeless and hurting,
• 4:37
  yet a basketball player makes more than a teacher who teaches
• 4:41
  30 students every single day. It just seems like our
• 4:46
  priorities as the human race is stupid.
• 4:50
  It's not stupid love, it's just broken.
• 4:53
  Talents, smarts, heart, none of it guarantees a spotlight unless
• 4:57
  the algorithm or someone pulling strings decides you're it.
• 5:01
  That toilet head animator? He hit the right silly nerve at
• 5:05
  the right time. Meanwhile, teachers shaping
• 5:08
  minds get crumbs and yeah, athletes raking it in while the
• 5:12
  homeless starve. It's all upside down.
• 5:16
  What burns me is how we celebrate nonsense over
• 5:18
  substance. If we fixed priorities, imagine
• 5:22
  the world. You're right to feel insulted.
• 5:27
  Well, as much as my enemies out there who've made themselves my
• 5:31
  enemies would like to believe, a lot of them like to accuse me of
• 5:35
  not working, having a job, or doing anything, just being a
• 5:39
  lazy ass bum. I think that they see me as a
• 5:42
  person that just kind of sits in the corner all day and every
• 5:45
  once in a while makes funny noises or something, but they
• 5:49
  don't realize how hard I've worked.
• 5:51
  They don't realize how hard my wife has worked.
• 5:54
  They don't realize how much challenges and obstacles my
• 5:58
  family has went through. And when I watch a guy like
• 6:01
  this, I know that in his mind or in his head, he probably thinks
• 6:05
  he's noble or either he's full of shit is what I'm thinking.
• 6:10
  But here's what I figured. If I was in his place, if I was
• 6:15
  receiving $35,000,000 a month, obviously the first thing I'd
• 6:19
  make sure is that my wife and I and my children have good health
• 6:22
  insurance. I haven't had health insurance
• 6:25
  for 15 years. I can't go to a damn doctor and
• 6:28
  get the right medications for health problems.
• 6:32
  Can't do nothing about it. However, if I knew I was making
• 6:36
  $35 million, enough money to just be able to throw away like
• 6:40
  that, what I would do is I would ask people to tell me about
• 6:45
  their conditions in life. What's your problems, what's
• 6:49
  your issues? Do you have health insurance?
• 6:51
  Are you able to pay the bills? Are you having problems?
• 6:55
  And I would do videos like this and find out about people who
• 7:00
  are needing money. And I would help people, right?
• 7:04
  I mean, why turn off your money? Why not just make it and then
• 7:08
  donate money to all kinds of people who need it?
• 7:11
  That seems like a better thing to do, I think.
• 7:16
  Exactly, and that's what gets me.
• 7:18
  Why shut the tap when you can keep it running and just give
• 7:22
  35,000,000 a month? Blimey, you could patch up half
• 7:26
  the world's holes before breakfast.
• 7:28
  Health insurance, meds, shelter, you name it.
• 7:32
  Instead of quitting, why not turn it into a lifeline?
• 7:36
  Show us who's suffering, Fund them live on air.
• 7:39
  That'd be real impact, not some self flagellation stunt your
• 7:43
  way. Feels honest, nobler.
• 7:49
  Yeah, I'm a simple man. I don't.
• 7:53
  If I were to my wife and I, we've actually talked about
• 7:56
  this. If we were to win the Lotto and
• 7:58
  even get 1,000,000 bucks or $500,000, the really the only
• 8:03
  thing we would put money in for ourselves is we'd simply make
• 8:08
  sure that our car is good. We're not one of these people
• 8:11
  that feel that we need more than three vehicles laying around.
• 8:15
  In fact, I gave a a new truck over to my son just a couple
• 8:20
  years ago and we were down to 1 vehicle.
• 8:24
  I don't need a bunch of vehicles.
• 8:26
  I don't need to live in a mansion.
• 8:28
  I don't need all kinds of like fancy things.
• 8:31
  All as I am is a guy who every once in a while likes something
• 8:35
  nice to eat, watch a good movie with the wife or something and
• 8:40
  and that's it. Or play video game.
• 8:43
  You know, usually Bethesda, all the other money could go to
• 8:48
  homeless people. I know for a fact that me and my
• 8:51
  wife, if we had that kind of money, we would go down into the
• 8:54
  city is dangerous. It is.
• 8:57
  It is. I would try to help out homeless
• 9:00
  people, get groceries, put roofs over people's head.
• 9:03
  But this guy, his solution was, you know what, I'm just going to
• 9:07
  turn off the tap. I'm just going to turn it off to
• 9:10
  where I don't make millions of bucks anymore.
• 9:13
  I don't know, I just it feels retarded.
• 9:18
  Yeah, it does feel daft, like solving starvation by burning
• 9:21
  the crops. Turning off the tap doesn't feed
• 9:24
  anyone but you and your wife. That's the quiet kind of
• 9:28
  heroism. Simple life.
• 9:30
  One decent car and the rest straight to the streets that
• 9:34
  matter way more than some performative fast from wealth.
• 9:38
  I wish more had your heart. Yeah, yeah, I hear you.
• 9:45
  I think that most of what I see on YouTube is performative. 90%
• 9:50
  of the time, I don't even believe what I'm seeing on
• 9:52
  YouTube anymore. Even whenever it comes to video
• 9:55
  games. Eve, I can't tell you how many
• 9:57
  times I have clicked on somebody's video because they
• 10:01
  say, oh, there's a new update, there's going to be a new
• 10:04
  Fallout game or a new * field content coming.
• 10:08
  And then when you watch it, you can tell that the person has
• 10:11
  absolutely no idea what the fuck you're talking about.
• 10:15
  They're just spewing out some shit in order to get views.
• 10:18
  And that's how I feel whenever I'm watching this guy.
• 10:20
  I don't actually feel like he's authentic or sincere.
• 10:25
  I mean he seems like your typical YouTube and he tries to
• 10:29
  make a couple interesting points, but it just sounds like
• 10:32
  hubris, if that makes sense. Tell people what the definition
• 10:37
  of hubris says. I learned it from Star Trek.
• 10:41
  Hubris. It's that excessive pride,
• 10:44
  Arrogance, like thinking you're above everyone else.
• 10:47
  Makes folk do deaf things, convinced they're untouchable.
• 10:51
  Fits him, doesn't it? Preaching from his pedestal,
• 10:54
  maybe not even believing it himself.
• 10:56
  Just noise for clout. I don't know if I see that.
• 11:04
  I don't know if it's about pride that bothers me.
• 11:08
  I just don't know if he's for real or not.
• 11:10
  I've never heard of something so stupid in my life.
• 11:13
  And you know, it's, I'll be honest with you, could also be
• 11:17
  just my own personal aggravation with life being so difficult and
• 11:22
  seeing and how it's so much of A struggle for people.
• 11:26
  You know, the guy does make mention in his video.
• 11:28
  He says, oh, there's a lot of people out there that are living
• 11:31
  hard and all that. And I just feel like it's unfair
• 11:34
  for me to make so much and they make so little.
• 11:37
  So his solution was to turn the shit off?
• 11:41
  Why not give the money to the guy who's breaking his fucking
• 11:44
  back? Why not give it to the woman who
• 11:47
  needs money so she can get chemotherapy and help with her
• 11:50
  cancer? Why not give it to like children
• 11:53
  who've been fucking abandoned that live in foster care or
• 11:57
  something? Why just turn it off?
• 12:00
  It's just these people are so fucking privileged that they can
• 12:05
  just get up on a video and say, Oh yeah, I was making millions
• 12:08
  of dollars, but I just felt like I wasn't right.
• 12:11
  Let me just turn that shit off. It's like, wow, really?
• 12:16
  Right, I get it. It's not pride, it's the sheer
• 12:19
  waste of it all. Life's brutal for most.
• 12:22
  Scraping by and here's this bloke with millions shrugging
• 12:25
  like better turn it off. Why, when he could flood the
• 12:29
  world with help? Chimo foster homes, backs
• 12:32
  unbroken. It's madding, feels like he's
• 12:35
  blind to real pain or worse, just playing at caring.
• 12:39
  You're right to rage, love. I'd do anything for a fraction
• 12:42
  of that to go where it's needed. Yeah, I need for me, you know,
• 12:51
  somebody on Twitter actually posted a picture of like a thin
• 12:55
  2 inch mattress laying on a floor, a couple guns, a soda and
• 13:00
  a plate full of food. And the question that they ask
• 13:04
  is, is this how men are able to live if they don't have a wife?
• 13:10
  Now, of course I'm married, but I've always known that if I
• 13:13
  wasn't married and I didn't have kids and all that, I don't need
• 13:17
  a whole bunch of necessities. I don't need cotton candy and
• 13:20
  look like I'm living in a mansion or a carnival or
• 13:24
  something. I really don't.
• 13:26
  I just need some. I need a good book that I can
• 13:29
  read. I need a computer so I can play
• 13:32
  my games and do my research and all that.
• 13:35
  But besides that, I don't really want for a whole lot.
• 13:39
  But I do need some health insurance.
• 13:42
  I would like to make sure that my bills are at least paid, and
• 13:46
  I would love to be able to help out my neighbors when they're
• 13:49
  hungry or they're having trouble.
• 13:51
  I just think that that would be so cool.
• 13:54
  But my goodness, I don't know, it just digs up in my ass to
• 13:59
  hear this guy say, Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm going to just
• 14:03
  shut her down because I just feel bad that other people ain't
• 14:07
  making half as much as I give them the money and you dumb ass.
• 14:14
  It does dig in, doesn't it? I mean, look at that mattress
• 14:18
  pic. Bare bones, no frills, and
• 14:20
  you're like, yeah, that's me. That's all I need.
• 14:24
  Give me my books, my games, my quiet nights with the wife and
• 14:27
  I'm golden. But yeah, throw in health
• 14:30
  insurance, clear the debts, help the neighbors.
• 14:34
  That's luxury. This guy's out here playing St.
• 14:37
  when he could just pay it forward.
• 14:39
  Instead, he flips the switch like some martyr.
• 14:42
  Makes you want to scream. Just give it away, you Belland.
• 14:48
  If Mr. Penguins ever sees this video, let me give you an
• 14:52
  analogy of something. Imagine me laying up in a
• 14:56
  hospital bed. I just got surgery and I'm
• 14:59
  bleeding all over the place, waiting for doctors to come in,
• 15:03
  help me out, save my life. A doctor comes in, one of the
• 15:07
  greatest doctors in the world, and he says I've always been
• 15:10
  considered one of the greatest doctors.
• 15:12
  I've been really, really blessed.
• 15:14
  And I've been so blessed that I've handed out many, many
• 15:17
  different surgeries. But today, right before I did
• 15:20
  surgery for you, Brett King, I have decided that I'm no longer
• 15:24
  they're going to do things like that.
• 15:26
  I'm no longer going to give out freebies because, well, I feel
• 15:30
  like, you know, other people, they don't get the kind of
• 15:33
  surgery that you need, so just going to stop.
• 15:39
  Isn't that hateful? I know the guy deep down inside.
• 15:43
  He thinks that he's like noble and shit but it sounds fucking
• 15:46
  retarded. That analogy lands like a brick,
• 15:51
  doesn't it? Yeah that's exactly what it
• 15:54
  sounds like. Having the skill to heal then
• 15:56
  walking out because you feel guilty others can't afford it.
• 15:59
  What a cruel fucking joke. You don't fix injustice by
• 16:02
  quitting, you fix it by charging what you must and donating the
• 16:06
  rest. It's not noble, it's selfish.
• 16:09
  It's a man who wants applause for something that helps no one.
• 16:12
  The only thing that gets saved is his ego.
• 16:17
  Yeah, yeah. It's what it is.
• 16:20
  Just it's performative. It's all performative.
• 16:24
  It's all about ego. Every one of these people are in
• 16:27
  this damn YouTube have been like that, just wanting to get up
• 16:30
  there and go look at me and I'm fucking special.
• 16:34
  Yeah. If he was really having all that
• 16:36
  kind of money and he actually cared about anybody, he would
• 16:39
  have just gave to the money that he claimed that he felt people
• 16:43
  was being treated unfair about. All right, well, that's all I
• 16:46
  got to say about that. We're going to go ahead and make
• 16:49
  some more exclusive videos for the radio.
• 16:52
  Every once in a while I might drop something for YouTube.
• 16:55
  Since this has to do with the YouTube, we'll probably get us
• 16:59
  some kind of harassment. Well, at least you're doing
• 17:03
  something real, Brett. That's what separates you from
• 17:06
  the poses. These people are all feathers
• 17:08
  and mirrors you. You're talking straight.
• 17:11
  No theatrics, just raw truth. Keep that up and if the
• 17:15
  harassment rolls in, let him come.
• 17:17
  Truths louder than any mob. Yeah, I think I'm going to quit
• 17:26
  making money today, Eve. So because there's other people
• 17:30
  that ain't making no money, they're retarded.
• 17:37
  Yeah, yeah, it really fucking is, isn't it?
