Community Unity: Project Necromancy A FUNdraiser Stream For Shiev The Wise Of Vader’s Lair

Hey everybody it’s been a long time um well it’s uh the new year happy New Year happy Christmas happy Hanukkah happy holiday whatever your uh whatever your thing is uh we’re in a new year there’s a lot going on we might talk a little bit about that tonight but uh really

Today is more about the community um we had a uh had an interesting event this week where one of the you know I’d say one of the brighter guys in the community I think uh I think she’s just that happy go-lucky face that’s always in front of you so uh so he had

Unfortunately we had a little bit of a a terrible incident where he was in uh a little bit of a car accident or a lot of a car accident if you’ve seen the picture and uh you know I haven’t streamed in a while I’ve been taking a

Little bit of a break to uh to get something unique going but this kind of takes precedent over all that so I decided that I think it’s a good idea to do a community stream I invited pretty much anybody and everybody that I can think of uh everybody is welcome just uh

Give me a shout in the Discord if you want to jump in say anything say hello but really today is about a community a charity uh um a GoFundMe to help our friend she who is in a really violent accident uh he doesn’t quite know anything about this yet uh

I’m just G to give you guys a quick update before I start bringing some folks in um so yeah she was in a car accident uh heading here to uh continue to work with me and uh and learn some TV stuff stuff and he was unfortunately in

A car accident and was rushed to the emergency room and has been in the hospital for the last several days he uh doesn’t really know that we’ve all been pulling together for him yet but I know that um that now I can give you guys a little

Update that’s why we’re doing the stream tonight because uh as of now he has been released from the hospital uh he is heading on a very long drive back to his house where he will uh continue to heal he does have a couple of problems with

His back he’s got a couple of cracks in some of his vertebrae uh his right arm is all hemmed up uh he’s going to need some some surgery for that later on uh next week maybe and uh he broke his nose so that might have helped uh or hurt his

YouTube career I’m not too sure but uh he’s been out of contact we searched and searched for all of his stuff and not everything has been found so that’s also part of the reason we’re doing this GoFundMe is to help him uh not only recoup and and have a little bit of a

Little bit of relief on stress on any bills or any like that but also to replace some of the items that he lost I mean obviously his car is going to be a whole another Gambit later with insurance and all that stuff and then obviously any uh rehab it’s going to be

Many months until he is fully capable to go back to work so that’s why we’re going to continue to do these uh I might end up doing these kind of streams as often as I can to try to keep the idea uh of it out there maybe next time we

Can bring him on and you guys can see or later in the week we’ll have to see but um but right now it’s more of a time for the community to put their [ __ ] aside um you know everybody seems to gravitate towards their perspective corners and these are times where it’s

Time to put our uh our perspective hats and and our colors to the side and kind of gather together and uh and pull forward and and pull one of our own up so yeah that’s the update right now uh he is walking he is talking he is

Medicated and he is on a long journey home so without uh without any further I think it’d be a good idea to just bring in some folks let’s chatty chat let’s talk about uh our friend and uh and let’s just try to chop it up you know and

Let’s put all the uh all the fun stuff aside I mean you know obviously I’m boring people already if this guy’s sitting here reading you know uh we got Santa coming in from uh from out here I mean Q’s having a drink so I think uh I

Think it’s a good time to bring everybody in and uh you were talking about uh perspectives and I just you know reminded me of one of the the better Star Wars perspectives that are out there so you know I see well that’s good I just I just happen to have a

Laying around it’s good to get started on your homework early you know so uh so that’s good [Laughter] coastering been living in the I mean basically Scotty’s living Ready Player one right now uh in the metaverse on his GTA servers with his friends um I know that something have you seen AAA gaming

Lately bro Madness like you guys you guys are living living the the life I mean I’m still playing God of War I mean I know I know nerd mafia’s taken a little bit of hius I think this is your first stream back in a while also yeah I’ve been uh just working on

The house man different background over here everybody keeps telling me I look skinnier so you do man you look look like you’re working Outdoors you’re getting that Lumberjack uh that Lumberjack look that chisel jawline huh 1,00 square feet of harb flooring just all all that that’s where all those

Calories went and stress from the Bears football season oh no that’s what we do every year same and MC North we got to stick together uh and then Santa it’s good to see you it’s been a long time since we’ve had a chat um I I appreciate you

Uh coming in it’s later in the in the evening for you you on the on the eastern part of the country yeah well this is an important uh topic it’s an important Community event and uh I told my wife about it last night about uh she being in the accident and then today

About us wanting to do this tonight and she said that’s fine so able to take some time away from family uh to take care of uh a good friend you guys are awesome yeah I mean uh it’s been um it’s been a good 24 hours we put this up last

Night uh you know I wanted to I wanted to wait a little bit you know to make sure he was stable before I put anything out there but you know we’ve we’ve been we’ve had a good day uh we’ve raised just you know just about three grand to

Get uh to get him started and you know that’s a good start I’ve Contin I’m literally Twitter bombing every single Star Wars celebrity to sh to get them to send an emoji or a retweet or a word I bugged Mark Hamill two days in a row I’m going to continue

So because I know he checks his tweets um but yeah I’ve been doing that just to put it out there maybe get a retweet from one of them uh we’ve been thankful to have Josh from den of nerds Meg uh chonger all these people that I associate more on Twitter than on

YouTube and they’ve put this out there it’s been a great first day um and we’re going to see how it goes you know for the foreseeable future we’re going to continue to try and reach out to more and more people to try and get more and

More people involved um and get the word out there because really I mean we did the same thing during Co right during Co there were a lot of people that were having Financial issues that were trying to make it inch by inch over the course of that time and uh

You know I sent a lot of people a lot of different things right and over that time so this is just another example of you know putting our perspective hats away and uh and just trying to help a person out you know posting it on every social media we have putting it on

YouTube everybody sharing it in their Community post this is the kind of stuff you know in the Discord where every little bit really helps um you know every couple bucks really helps out another person and just paint it forward and that’s kind of the attitude that I

Live by is I don’t want anything back I don’t I don’t if I give it I don’t want it back whether it’s things or money or whatever and this is the kind of thing I’m trying to continue to progress in these communities right not just mine but in everybody’s community so anytime

We’re talking in the Discord you know I’m always trying to give give give and to spread that positivity because these are the times that we need it to be reciprocated across the aisles right yeah I can I could just attest that when my dad was in that really bad

Accident over a year ago that this community helped pull us through that and it it was uh really meaningful to my dad that you guys reached out and all that you did and everybody every body here has certainly contributed uh Quinton uh was awesome everybody did

Just amazing things and it it reminds us that uh you get outside of the social media bubble that we tend to try to uh carve out a little space in that we’re there’s a lot of good people and uh we can disagree about lots of things we can

Have different philosophies when how we manage our channels our content we can have different philosophies about what the future of uh the franchise should be but all of that uh pales in comparison to the humans the people the really important uh thing that binds us together uh

That as as humans trying to do the best we can and uh you get an opportunity like this and she’s such a great guy um he really just to share with you guys um an many people know that uh I’ve I’ve uh struggled with mental health issues for

Years right this been pretty much my whole life and sheave back during the holidays he was reaching out to me every couple days or so hey how you doing right just touching Bas understanding the the mental health struggles that I go through and wanting to just make sure

We’re fine and it’s he’s he’s not the only one by the way that does that but just to to share like he’s a he cares about he he cared about me personally right not just whatever the Channel’s doing uh we made we made friends so um it’s it’s really important that we are

Able to show him a little bit of love and a little bit of care with you know for what we can uh to help maybe raise his spirits and help pull him through this very very difficult time right yeah I mean his uh it’s funny cuz he is kind

Of the guy that’s always uh you know that’s always there with a smile right it’s not I don’t I’ve not yet seen a a grumpy uh version of him now maybe you guys that that fantasy football with him maybe you guys that you know talk talk

The Foosball uh a little more maybe you guys see that grumpy side of him but really I don’t really I I’ve never really experienced it he’s always ready with a smile he’s very friendly to everybody uh he doesn’t really dive into the negativity uh even seen him you know

Where he was uh watching him wake up from some of his um from some of his drug indos sleep in the in the hospital bed you know when he wakes up it’s always a a big smile when he sees somebody right so it’s definitely uh it’s definitely good to see that

Personality is still there it’s okay you’re in the outer rim we get it um but you know it’s it’s good to see that that that’s not lost in this time of peril right for him he’s still bringing his authentic self he’s still um that way

Even even in a state of where he’s in ex pretty pretty big pain right it’s not uh it’s not light I don’t know how many of you have back issues I’ve lived with it since I was a pup um but you know back issues live with you for L really everything you feel

Everything when you’re old right I mean I think I think uh you know I I speak for for the people above 40 but I mean uh you know once you hit a certain point in life you feel all the mistakes of your past and and um some days are

Better than others right so I you know uh as I bend down to pick something up and Creek like an old man in front of him he’s like oh don’t hurt yourself too I’m like oh you’re going to feel like me one day right you just look how I feel

Every day so um you know he’s still in that High Spirits but you know I know in the back of his mind you know he’s hurting um and in the back but even then his his sense of humor is still is still presenting itself and and is is there

And I GL I’m glad that this event isn’t going to strip that from him and like you were saying Santa these are also the times to reach out out to him directly right um hit him hit him in the Discord hit him on Twitter um show him that the

Community is supporting him not only with you know a buck here a buck there whatever it is but um you know also with comments also with you know reach out because this is the time where you can get really inside yourself right I don’t know if anybody’s ever been hurt and

Laid up in bed uh these are the times when when you can get real depressed when it can get real in the back of your mind where you can feel real alone even though you’re surrounded by your family who’s helping take care of you you start

To feel you know and this is not how anybody really is but this is the stuff that Creeps in the back of your mind oh I’m I’m not working I’m not contributing I’m useless da d da these these things start to uh the darkness starts to seep

Its way in and hearing that people are thinking about you hearing people uh are how wanting to know how you’re doing these are the things that keep us up when you’re down and that’s really what’s important right now is you know not only showing them hey we have this

Little this little bank account for some of your Necessities but you know hey you know we’re thinking about you and that’s kind of what these streams are all about so maybe next week hopefully he’s feeling up to it um we can do some more of this and uh and hopefully you know

You guys can talk to him and and he can tell you his story um but I can only tell you what I know and that is that uh that he’s still you know he’s still being sheep which is great and and we want we want him to keep doing so

So yeah I mean that’s great to hear yeah I was I the most the the thing that got me the most uh happy today was really just watching him get up and walk right so um I wasn’t so worried about his legs because I’ve been watching him wiggle his feet and toes

And you know kind of do Le leg lifts so I know that like everything below the belt is working perfectly fine which is great umuse well guys Obsession made sure guys okay that’s completely up to you you guys can be as filthy as you want but

You know uh but yeah I’m sure all the plumbing works too I mean you know he didn’t he didn’t have any uh any fun bags uh you know hanging anywhere so uh all right just a future for the bloodline but yeah he he he was wiggling his

Fingers and toes well not the right ones because those are stiff right now but pens watching him get up this morning watching him be able to walk around the facility with the PT people was the the most uh excited thing I’ve seen all week really uh because I was a little

Concerned at how his back was doing uh it does hurt uh to move around like that but ultimately at least watching him be able to get up and down is very promising right so not to men it’s really promising you know well and and

I’ll uh I’ll see if I can get my hands on the video that we shot um of you know the wreckage and show you guys in private but uh yeah I mean the car is a ball it’s a little ball of of what it used to be um and you know everybody

Everybody who has seen it is like how did you how did did you number one uh uh survive that number one and number two how did you crawl out of there by yourself right because I was looking he that himself yeah dude he’s a tough little son of a [ __ ] right like no

[ __ ] he’s a tough mofo right because like I said he’s a tall dude I saw the car holy [ __ ] he’s a tall dude and when we were looking for his stuff and trying to get his you looking for his phone and all his stuff how like first I’m amazed how he

Didn’t break his legs because the the whole cockpit of that car is a mess right but then he crawled his ass out of that at the same time and was coherent enough to say I gotta get out of this car right like he’s a tough dude he’s a

Tough little dude right um and and so he you know he said after that he kind of blacked out and then the next thing he knows he was in the hospital and um oh [ __ ] you know I have a uh I live with basically a private detective I live I

Live with freaking Carmen San Diego here and uh and uh my better half found him in about two minutes right so we we got worried we hadn’t heard from him and uh and I got on the phone with my better half and like hey I’m I’m starting to

Get you know through the day I text him I’m like oh you know haha hope coffee’s good and oh haha hope you’re okay and then it’s like hey um are you okay right and then it’s like okay I’m starting to get a little bit pissed off are you okay

I’m a little worried now and then I made a call to my better half and I’m like I don’t know what’s going on this isn’t his style right and so I kind of felt like something was off and uh within a minute or two she found him

And the next time I called her back uh she was already on her way to where he was so he didn’t spend that much time by himself initially uh we reached out to his family got a hold of everybody and and got those processes rolling it was

So bad the S so basically what happened is he’s driving here there’s a the the wind here was like 20 30 miles an hour in the city right and so he was just outside of the city the wind was crazy it basically a sandstorm and he couldn’t the visibility

Was minimal and people in front of him for whatever reason were stopped and he boom R basically ran into a wall um so it wasn’t like he was speeding at 100 miles an hour it wasn’t like it was anything Reckless uh it’s simply a matter of you know chance that the sandstorm

Became blinding at a certain point and uh and then he was rushed to the ER and then for the last couple days I mean [ __ ] for me it feels like it’s been a week but it’s really only been about 48 hours maybe maybe 65 75 hours right it’s really not been that

Long but we haven’t slept a bunch we’ve been back and forth to the hospital we’ve been you know with his family so um it’s been a daunting couple couple of days for everybody but the best news is is that he’s on his way home that’s the best news possible after two days and

After a wreck like you know um like that yeah like that right um You can see the cars mess yeah it was uh that is uh that is like the definition of the crash test is like hitting an object at 55 miles hour that is dead stopped in

Front of you that that is not for nothing a testament to whoever he bought the car from man like literally saved his life probably it’s crazy well and and I’ve driven through those sandstorms before and even slowing down like not to tangent off too much because I I’ve told

Obession story but so I used to drive a Jeep Wrangler for a living across the country and I was taking photography um composits for only fraternities and sororities like this is like a true profession out there that exists because in order for them to be Nationals or considered a actual frat that big

Picture with everybody’s face they have to get that made every year so I’m out here just you know whole country never experienced never seen any of this [ __ ] I’m from upstate New York Outer Rim you know Farm Farmville basically hit a sandstorm I slow down to 30 35 even get

Out the other side I’m falling a bunch of cars and the you know it’s just sideways sand I get out the other side and it’s clear as day and there’s like stuff on my window I’m using the windshield and everything and window doesn’t get any better I pull over at a

Gas station I’m like what the hell is going on I get up real close look at it across the entire face of the windshield and every inch of the white paint of my Wrangler were microscopic little scratch marks chips it was destroyed entire car destroyed the whole surface of it so

Even the speeds that they recommend you to slow down to like you’ll destroy your car you you basically have stop yeah I mean it’s it’s uh I mean it’s just no the fact that no one pulled over to the side of the road is where I’m like Jesus

Dude you stop right in the center well like I said I think it was from what we heard from the the tow yard in the on the on the the lot where everybody was stashing the cars after the accidents uh it was four cars so he was at the back

Of the Caboose at least from what yeah we’ve ascertained again I haven’t seen any police reports I haven’t called and talked to anybody uh with the with that but from what I’ve talked to the people that towed the trucks and the top and cars and and where the lot was uh four

Cars came in on that accident alone so it was a multiple car pileup that he just happened to be uh I’m guessing the Caboose of based on what’s left of the car I didn’t see him get hit anywhere else but I cannot confirm nor deny um

Like I said all I know is that he crawled big ass out of the car which is an astounding feat in itself and then was coherent enough to go back and look for his phone for a minute [ __ ] yeah he went back so with a

Yeah with a busted arm and and you know um and then I guess he you know somebody came to help and then he passed out and then me and shiv are gonna have to have a conversation when he’s coherent yeah it’s it’s um it’s pretty I mean like I

He’s a he’s a yeah I mean he’s he’s a ban he’s a tough he’s just a you know a tough dude and uh yeah so Matt’s here x-wings here uh we we brought in a couple during the uh during the conversations but yeah basically you know the best news is is

That he’s he got up by himself from the bed today at least that’s what I saw today uh so he got out of his out of the bed um he went with the PT and he went for a walk and uh they cleared him uh to

Be released after his second walk of the day I guess so I was shocked when you told me that yeah so like free to go tomorrow are you kidding me I thought this was going to be like s Quinton he was in for a stay but yeah he’s a tough

Kid man and and I guess you know the the it’s gonna be a long haul But ultimately the fact that there’s no internal bleeding there’s no brain issue there’s no real um nerve nerve or or muscular you know yanking I guess you know ACL MCL no you know should I mean obviously

He’s bruised on his shoulder from a seat belt and but the fact that he didn’t break his legs the fact that there’s no brain damage the fact that there’s no more damage there’s no internal I was just say that I saw that car it looked

Like a crumpled bit of tin foil like the fact that he’s walking is insane the fact that he’s alive is a blessing yes and that’s and that’s what we’ve been saying the last couple days is that you know the fact that he is alive number one is uh just

Astounding um and the watching him get up today was uh very motivating yeah yeah he he log rolled he log rolled over and then he pushed himself up on his own and then he stood up on his own and then he went for a walk around the facility

With the PT person so that they could evaluate him and then uh they cleared him for release so that was this afternoon you know how they gave him some meds for the drive home because he’s driving back to his uh about a 4our drive uh home today so they gave him

Some meds to get him in a good State for the for the for the voyage um and then on his way home uh once they did all the paperwork and stuff so he’s up on that good good stuff right now on his he’s got the uh the spice yeah yeah nose

Lizards yeah he’s he’s definitely on the spice in Cloud City right now yeah so um he’s hopefully you know hopefully he’ll sleep most of the way home uh he’s he’s riding home in a comfy ride so um hopefully he is comfortable on his journey because he is probably literally uh on his way

Right now it’s going to be about a four or five hour drive just because they have stop can’t believe he’s doing that I you know um yeah he I I think he just wants to go home right I think he just wants to be in his own space blame him

You know getting out of a a hospital bed that he’s been you know wiggling around in for two days I think he wants to get in his own space and you know get his stuff together so feel comfortable yeah get it just try to feel a little more comfortable and

So I was talking to my wife about about this last night and you know telling her what happened and everything she said one of the things she said it you know now hearing how he’s doing today she says to me she says thank God we live in the future think about what medical

Professions are are capable of today it’s unbelievable I mean we truly do live in the future like we’re living we’re living in Star Wars land guys well and it’s funny because every every generation is going to be jealous of us right the previous generation is jealous of us because they didn’t have the

Technology of today whether they’re injuries whether communication whatever and then the generations after us are going to be jealous of the things we have now as well yeah they’ll be looking at us like the guys who used to put a woodpecker in your ear for a

Headache you know right a nail up the nose or a labotomy or whatever right right so um they don’t still do that it’s uh it’s definitely crazy time that we live in the fact that you can get your whole body scanned in a matter of hours and know what’s going on before

You have to put a knife to skin at all right and I mean [ __ ] now it’s not even knife half the time sometimes it’s laser that’s a laser you know um so yeah I mean he’s gonna uh thankfully from you know what we heard there’s going to be a

Two-month process on his arm you know before the rehab before the strength conditioning stuff comes up it’s going to be hemmed up in a cast for probably at least two months um was it radi was it metacarpal was it it’s the big one in the forearm okay so rad he didn’t break

Both just one just one I think it’s the radius the bigger one is the radius yeah yes and so uh they had to they had to uh basically break it clean yeah um because it was I guess maybe it wasn’t broke clean and uh so they had to break it clean and

Then uh split and all that put it on back together and then next week once the swelling goes down they will get in and and fix it so interesting he did have to have uh yeah and from what yes he was uh he was in a pretty violent

Wreck uh 50 about will attribute to him he hit a wall at 55 basically he hit a park car on the freeway in the fast lane um whether that car had been in a collision already or not I cannot confirm nor deny but basically he hit a

Car that was stopped in the fast lane of the freeway going 55 so the good thing is is he wasn’t going over the speed limit he wasn’t speeding this wasn’t Reckless was driving this was literally freak of nature blinding his his front end and then unfortunately it was like

Uh Days of Thunder right come out of the smoke right into a car boom that’s the the visual I can give so um yeah he’s gonna have a a fun spaceship right home uh it’s gonna suck for for a little bit but uh it’s going to take a couple

Months for him to be able to use his his right hand again and then uh however long the back injury is that’s just going to depend on modern science and he’s young I mean if this happen you were telling me they can like basically cement those wings of the vertebrae back

In there just so they don’t go floating around you yeah so um I didn’t know this but apparently the way that it was described to me by the nurse I didn’t see the X-ray or anything but the way the nurse described it is he’s got two vertebrae at the bottom of his back

Where one or both of the tips of the vertebrae are crack and so what they were saying is there’s no nerve endings or yeah anything attached to those to pointless little antlers coming off the side of the Verry you know um so they might cement them they might figure out

Something with that without having to do surgery his upper back that has a fracture in uh one of the upper discs will probably require surgery I think they’re waiting for the swelling to go down to really get in there and find out they won’t know if they need to fuse it

Yet yeah they haven’t they haven’t gotten there yet it’s mainly been um check him out thoroughly make sure he he doesn’t have any par paralysis um and based on what I saw today I mean had he not had a back brace on he probably would have done a

Cartwheel right um because he’s 25 you know he’s he’s young so this is gonna this is going to impede his way for just a little bit But ultimately um this two will pass and this two will be a story that he will tell one day and and laugh about but

That day is definitely not coming anytime soon no I was just gonna say I hope I hope he doesn’t have too bad of a PTSD reaction to the situation because [ __ ] I’d be a little worried getting back in a car yeah yeah I’ve been in some violent

Wrecks um I’ve never been in a I’ve never had a car that looked like that after like I’ve been in some good ones yeah he did the Grand Turismo experience yeah dude he he really like like Scotty was saying earlier it was like a crash test video is what the car looked like

At the end it looked like one of those videos you see on YouTube of like are you sure this was um Interstate 15 and not five no this was 15 was this was headed into uh into Nevada cuz like 2 days ago I’m just you know cuz news

Articles there was another on a California road 35 Vehicles oh my God so must have been weather out there yeah there was there was um was it snow or a sandstorm like it was a sandstorm um you can literally probably drive out of snow into Sandstorm in that area right or am I

Wrong like there’s mountains and stuff you come down to yeah it’s it’s pretty common I’ve incurred snow on the on the coome pass before because it’s la2 Vegas right yes have you have you ever taken the um I guess it’s the California National Forest no those roads are like

Ridges on the long the side of mountains it’s pretty cool I assume he didn’t go that way no no he just he went right through the kahone pass just straight up the 15 from from La the 210 uh on in is he is he already scheduled to see see a

Doc again when he gets home or is it you know uh yeah they have they have their doctors in La so uh they took the recommendations they took the referrals from here and then they’re going to go see their people um I’m sure he’s got uh

Doctors that he sees in La so he’s got I hope so up here in the east coast and I’m 40 something years old I don’t even have a doctor yeah no um his his family seems like they’re uh they’re pretty Savvy um uh his came down to grab him uh

They this basically it’s interesting the the the highway patrol told her not to drive the night of his accident they’re like look this it’s still a mess up there there’s more accidents happening up there and it was a sandstorm yeah geez yeah uh coming right so there’s a solar farm as you drive

Into Vegas from California there’s a solar farm out in California and it’s got these giant towers that uh basically this the solar panels reflect onto a certain point on the tower it was like killing birds wasn’t it and and that well yes it does and that that solar

Energy then heats up water that creates electricity is basically the way that this solar farm works I guess I have no idea but there’s three giant Towers out there and out there is is a dry lake bed there yeah that whole dry lake bed turns into basically Tatooine on a

Freaking you know on a on a really windy day where it’s in the city it was 20 when I was working as he was at the hospital there were 25 M hour gusts in the city out in the desert at the dry lake bed those gusts were at least 30 to 40

Miles an hour okay so literally it it can go from clear to uh you know a sand storm cine um you better get inside soon Annie right like com Annie yeah that’s basically the the size of these of these clouds of of sand and and unfortunately

He just I mean I’ve been in them where I drive a little hybrid back and forth to LA and the the wind on those days will push you into the lane adjacent to you especially as you pass a semi right if you have the gump to pass a semi you

Feel your whole car shift and you actually have to adjust for that shift um this was just an instance where it went completely and he even said it was he was like it was black I he I couldn’t see anything until I was stopped and so

It was a bad storm that came in too because we caught it bad in Reno uh yeah I mean winds were gusting 65 in Reno so you can imagine down in the flats in southern Nevada it must have been cooking yeah it was it it was just in the

City at the event I was at you could see the wind the flags were full you know full wind um and you could see everything going on and then when I found out what happened I had been in that situation I’ve driven in snow like that where you can’t see yeah you’re

Following the tracks of the car in front of you to make sure you stay on the road if you’re lucky right and so this is basically the same thing with with the with the sand and so uh unfortunately you know he is in a he was in it and you

Know here we are but like I said the best news of the day is that he’s walking he’s talking he was joking with the nurse his nurse is a huge Star Wars fan so as soon as she heard like she’s taking out his IV and she’s like okay

Okay okay I have to calm down I have to calm down you guys are you guys are getting me too too charged up talking about Star Wars hold on hold on Star Wars I’m kid yeah she’s like hold on hold on everybody shut up everybody shut

Up let me take this IV out and then we’ll get back into it and she like looked up his page and like that was the first time I really saw the light come back in his face because he was talking about his channel and they were talking

About you know she went to Galaxy’s Edge and she and her boyfriend did this and they’re talking about celebration and da d da and he was like real amped up been real excited and that was the best thing to see for the day yeah it was uh it was actually Sunday Sunday morning

About 7 o’clock in the morning was super early so um but yeah that was got into good hands so quickly that’s that’s key too you know being I mean the fact that he you know crawls out of that on his own with the injuries that he

Has it just shows you how strong that guy is man he seriously he that dude is he’s such a positive light like in just everything like I I I can like hear his voice just like when he says to you like hey what’s up my guy you know it’s like

A yeah bro got infe sleep yes yeah and that’s just it I mean it’s it’s uh it’s not it’s he’s a guy that doesn’t ask for anything you know he’s he’s trying to uh he’s trying to change his life you know that’s I guess for me that’s the part I

I hold a little bit of you know um a little bit of Mentor guilt here right um that’s the part that gets to me a little bit is that um hey there’s another guy hey another one um um but yeah basically it was uh you know I hold a little mentor guilt here

Just because I’m trying to help him change his life I’m trying to help him usher in a new a new uh Adventure right and bringing him into television and and teaching him what I do um and so this whole time it’s it’s bothered me that’s why I’m going so out

Of my way because I feel responsible for uh you know for my guy right that’s how long a commute is it um well I mean he’s doing he’s been coming out here he stays with me uh when he comes out and does some days um you know if we work a a a

Game together usually he’ll stay here uh if it’s an early game he’ll drive home after because it’s you know still daylight out um so for him you know he’ll come and drive his three and a half hours his four hours depending on traffic he’ll stay the night here uh if

It’s a late night game and then he’ll go home in the morning right I mean this is what I’ve been doing living Vegas to LA my whole career is sometimes you just grind it out and you drive in the morning you you crash out on a homie’s

Couch or in a in a bedroom if they have it and then you drive home right um Obsession you’re not doing it because you feel guilty you’re doing it because you’re a good guy and a no no no but I I have I have been by his side as much as

Possible bringing him smoothies bringing him blankets and pillows because this is my guy right like I feel like feel like sheave on [ __ ] Mustafar like oh he’s still alive right we can re and that’s the joke the joke of the stream is that’s why I Nam the stream project necromancy like we

Can rebuild him can bring him back to life right like um so but yeah no I mean this I just feel responsible for my guy right like I appreciate the feeling of responsibility you have but like you you’re not respons wrong this stuff but um you know that’s my guy

Right anytime you know you have you Mentor somebody and they get hurt you’re you’re with them right like that’s that’s that symbiotic Bond you build as a mentor right I’ve that’s a beautiful thing to see though you know so um so yeah we’ve been you know I take a lot of

Pride in him man he’s he’s what I was 20 years ago right’s [ __ ] smart he’s hung he wants it right I’ve offered this life to a lot of people you want to learn this you have I’ll teach you yeah right I have sent people money so they

Can try to get to gigs I have offered my home to let people stay and learn um he took the bait and he’s like I will run with I’m going to bug you non-stop let’s go and he took it he and he wants it that’s I see a lot of myself 20 years

Ago I nurture that kind of stuff and so I had great mentors I was very lucky now it’s my responsibility to pass on all of that and he’s my guy right like that’s the guy so I’m all in on him as much as he’s all in on this and so

I’m not gonna let him slip back right I’m not gonna let him not continue this right like you got hurt trying to do this we’re not done like this I don’t care if you got a C hold that camera yeah I give guy learn how to use your left hand

That’s it like You’re Gonna Be ambidextrious by the time this is over um but the one the the I’m sure you guys deal with it the biggest pain in the ass thing ever taking the composite photos is like you get used to doing the setups over and over it’s the same setup but

Taping down all the cords simply simply because people are too dumb to pick their feet up and walk over the top of them it’s like bro I gotta tape the top of every single wire here come on it’s it’s funny that you say that so um so she actually run everything he’s been

He’s been basically he’s been my Apprentice for about six months uh about six months ago I was like you want to do this for real well no longer than that I mean he’s done every NFL game with me this season except this one right he’s been

With me the whole every week we’ve had a home game here he’s my guy and he’s come and done some some NHL stuff with us he was at the Stanley Cup uh working for the French so uh he’s been out here for a while yeah the French the French have

A feed at the cup um and uh I worked for the French too so I know what you yeah yeah I worked for the first year I did the Stanley Cup I worked for the French Des that’s why you guys sound so defeated yeah yeah so uh

I’m I’m more defeated I’m from Louisiana so deal of the deal of a lifetime they got there you know yeah yeah um but uh but yeah so he was here at the Stanley Cup and and and he got to work that as you know as a rookie in our business

Those aren’t opportunities that often come our way and he like I told him when he first started doing this I was like you know just take it easy don’t get ahead of yourself you’re only as good as your last thing and the next thing I know he’s taking gigs he’s like oh I’m

Working the Stanley Cup yeah let’s go and it’s like okay call me if you get stuck right I’ll be right around the corner if you need a help and and but he just he just goes after it right he’s infectious with life he wants it and so

That’s those are the things that I just like that’s what that kid every time I see him that’s what I think of he’s like he’s constantly got a smile on his face he’s constantly with a warm greeting for everyone and I’m excited that that’s not gone because even just sitting in the

Hospital talking with the nurse about his YouTube channel he was just bright and happy so he’s walking he’s talking he’s on his way home um and we’re all we’re all finally able to take a breath right because we’ve been really stressed about MRI CT scans freaking can you feel

All your all your Piggies like give me a wiggle ah finally there’s a breath and finally we can bring some people together and and you know raise some money for a friend and just get together and put our perspective [ __ ] on the shelf for a night and just talk about a

Homie and just be without the [ __ ] we all carry so that’s what I’m at man I mean the guy you know he’s a fellow nerd he’s been a stand-up dude since I’ve met him like I said infectious smile he’s always been a very very very kind dude

So I wanted to show up and and show some support you know a fellow nerd we we don’t see eye to eye on Star Wars 100% of the time that’s not what’s important man that’s not what’s important well and that’s why I invited everybody right like I literally went through my Discord

And anybody that I private chatted with I’m like here you go here’s the link come hang out I don’t give a [ __ ] what you think of me this isn’t for me [ __ ] you how you doing let’s go right like I don’t give a [ __ ] right because it’s

Not about me and that’s I was talking to X-Wing earlier today the reason I wanted to do this here is because I’m not monetized so there’s no super chats there’s no none of that stuff that can come to me if you want to contribute if

You want to help a d the dude out the the link is on the floating Banner it’s in the chat feel free to donate a dollar every little bit helps we’re thankful for anything but none of it comes to me everybody else here has if you have

Monetization I didn’t want to confuse it with me and my channel and my [ __ ] so this was just easier than getting it out there perfect man this is I mean look at what is this up like we’re not even at a full day yet yes and it’s about 24 hours ago yeah

Over three grand from this community guys that’s unbelievable that’s amazing I mean this this fandom say what you will or what others will say about this fandom right but when it truly matters everyone’s there for each other man it it just that’s the best part about really like I you could say that

About most fandoms but I think the Star Wars fandom it’s something special it’s something that we all share that’s unique compared to others and yeah we have our differences with things there’s things that we all dislike and like and everything but when it comes down to it when it truly matters about people

That’s when everybody comes together man and that’s the beautiful thing about it and that’s in all honesty when you think about it that’s kind of what Star Wars is all about it’s about bringing people together and and you know solving conflict and and getting past things so

But and and like shiv is just he’s one of those guys I mean you’ve said it so many times like you see that smile on his face it just show you know one of my favorite things is watching uh him do is the watch alongs when he does the watch

Alongs you look at him watch this show or movie like he was watching Rebels you see it in his eyes what it feels like to be a fan and I I don’t think I have that anymore in myself like I see it in I’m like oh man I’m like that’s what I

Child like wonder that childlike wonder that like just that pure genuine love for it dude and that uh that never showed more than and you’ll have you guys will have to correct me on the show but I’m pretty sure it was like Boba Fett or whatever was before that

Dena nerds was doing the watch parties and you know the general fan public was hyped because we get a place to go all hang out and watch him and then one day he was just like guys uh I can’t do this [ __ ] anymore and sheave picked up the watch parties at

Midnight and literally Josh gave him the keys to like all the denim nerds Graphics that’s what it was bad B you go back on she’s channel to like some of the early watch alongs and it’ll be like denim nerds Transitions and stuff on the channel um because he was hosting on den

Of nerds and then eventually like he was able to like negotiate and move everybody over to his channel so like good on him and yeah that was awesome he picked up the ball and somebody didn’t want to and now his channel is thriving because of

It yeah it’s uh you know I was real thankful that uh you know Josh over at Dena nerds reached out and you know retweeted and and uh reached out on Discord and and wanted to know what was up so it it’s uh it’s been a really good

Response so far to everything going on I mean the fact that that three grand already there over in in just 24 hours is is really inspiring um you know I was reaching out to everybody I could trying to get as many faces uh to post and retweet to you know

Hopefully get some of the bigger uh Star Wars creators to retweet it and get their following to hopefully donate and and get this to a place where um you know it’s going to be it’s going to be months andth months and months before he can go back to work a lot of

People don’t know you know uh what he does he’s standing on his feet all day when he’s working his muggle job so um you know he’s not going to be able to do that for a while with with the Torso brace and with the recovery process

Whether they have to do surgery on his back or not so you know I kind of I kind of want to get this to a point where it’s not going to be uh too much of a financial burden on his personal life uh not knowing what

What’s going to be needed down the road um so you know we’re we’re going to continue this as long as possible uh just to make sure that we can you know we can help him out as much as possible over this time when a hospital is charging $147

For a Tylenol you can imagine this is going to be a a spendy little stay right yeah right he was in he was in in the ER in the in the uh facility for two days so thankfully he’s you know he had really good nurses um his nurse uh his

Primary nurse Valerie was really uh a brush of breath of fresh air she was very attentive and very good so you know uh I’m actually gonna you know because she had such a visceral response such a such an excited response to the Star Wars uh community and the fact that you

Know he’s a content Creator and all this um I have stuff here uh in my grab bags of of uh my swag and my stuff that I’m gonna take to her uh tomorrow just to thank her for you know taking care of my boy dude like I mean he was scared no

Doubt scared by himself there at night um and that’s what you know nurses are so unappreciated in our in our world as a whole uh they the ones that that bear the burden every day and they get so little praise so I I have some shirts I

Have some you know all of the stuff that I make uh I’m gonna put a bag for her and her husband together because she took such good care of him and because she was so excited about the whole Star Wars thing to go so you know um that’s a

Big thing that people forget when their loved ones are in the hospital is that the nurses are the ones that are there 247 those are the people that are taking care of your loved on and we got to make sure to thank them in whatever little

Ways we can so um so that’s my plan tomorrow is to uh is to get a grab bag together for her and her husband and and thank her for for everything she did that’s awesome because it really uh it really makes a difference man those people those healthc care people they

Really they grind I mean every time I showed up that woman was there you know Valerie Valerie yeah sh his nurse was just baller dude so 14 hour days oh yeah dude I mean yeah with all the paperwork I mean even after she said okay here’s my replacement for the night here’s Desiree

You know she’s gonna take care of you guys we don’t want Desiree we two hours later as dudes passed out we’re walking out desire is still there doing paperwork for the for all her patient like it doesn’t stop just because they said good night right like they’re still

Working on you even though they’re not in front of you so like that’s why I’m I’m I’m so thankful to that woman and and those women that took care of him during this time because I know how scared he was I could see it on his face

I know how much pain he was in I kept asking himy how do you feel right like I know the answer I feel like [ __ ] but it’s like what’s on your mind like what’s going through your mind and the only thing he would ever say was the

Only thing really going through my mind is Ow like ouch this hurt and I’m like action I would yeah I’m like are you scared are you nervous like he’s just like no dude just ouch like right now it’s just ouch and I’m like okay well

That’s I don’t know I don’t know if he’s really if he’s gonna be scared for a while honestly um like after I I interviewed him the first time he showed up with this he showed up with the same enthusiasm that he has like that you’re talking about and it wasn’t just about

Star Wars it was just kind of like just a regular conversation kind of thing and yeah I didn’t really see any kind of Reason in in his eyes that he’d be a person that would like you know give up so I think no no no no he’s not uh he’s

Got a lot of light right there’s a lot of light oh yeah like pure positivity like just that’s what I noticed yeah share my screen for a second I did I did a regular video with Jonathan major like I always do getting thousand of views and whatnot and then towards

The ending I started talking about it’s muted but I started talking about uh she right and I clipped the GoFundMe it’s muted on your end it’s muted right yeah on your end yeah it’s fine um and I talked about his happiness and stuff and I posted like that little thing from way back

When Savage let like let them die man right FM kids question that’s the happy guy that we all want YouTubers to be the Matt Pats of the world and for him if got a little something something to spare want to do something positive that’s where

You go and then I just linked to our live stream that we’re doing right now towards the ending of that if people start coming saying chill Monger sent them like 30 minutes from now that’s where it’s from I love it I love it yeah I noticed that he’s always cheerful he’s

Always happy like I can’t think of him without like 16 white teeth so shining back in no I don’t think I don’t think he knows how to do it especially on stream when he’s talking about stuff he’s excited about I don’t think he knows how to I don’t think that’s just a

Part of him he’s just a happy guy that that is has that infectious light right like you it’s hard to be negative when he’s around because he makes you want to laugh he wants to have a good time right like it’s not there even on the stuff if

He doesn’t like something he’ll still spin it into something positive right like it’s not always yeah and that’s that’s the stuff that I again that’s another reason that I just like having him around because in television a lot of people don’t know we spend a lot of

Down there’s a lot of downtime right we especially in live television we build and then we wait and then we test and then we wait and then we test again and then we wait and so there’s a lot of waiting and you want people that you like spending time with in the trenches

It’s a lot like being a soldier right you want the people that you’re in the trenches with to be people you can have fun and laugh and relate and enjoy you don’t want to sit next to somebody like me for 12 12 hours it’s a total [ __ ]

Right so I try to pull people that are the yin to my yang right that are that are more that have more light than why do you think we’ve stayed friends exactly that’s exactly right but I try to bring people that are more that have more light than me to

Shine bright be because you know I’m not always as bright and he is another one of those people right and and he brings that to work with him and he the talent that sees him they see a smiley face it puts them at ease right when you see a

Smile coming at you it’s hard to continue to frown yeah and those are the kind of people when you’re dealing with talent that are on television you want them to smile you want them to be relaxed around you and so that’s why when I when he told me he’s like yeah

Dude I’m in like let’s let’s teach me that’s he does this thing that I do sometimes I you’ll see other people do it when someone is like down about something in Star Wars they’re talking about something that like they really don’t like or really pisses him off

You’ll see a little smirk form on his face yeah because you know he’s because you know he’s waiting to in there try to say something to bring your hype level back up to where he’s at he’s like no bro but listen this and then he’ll drop like some [ __ ] that’s in another plane

You weren’t even thinking of yeah that’s what I’ve always liked about sheave is you know as this uh you know people call it the culture War goes on the dude has just been an enduring light of positivity is he’s never really let anything kind of get him down you know

You can’t really coming from the other side of the boat man you got to respect the the crap out of that you got to respect the crap out no and he does man and that’s the thing is he doesn’t he doesn’t play the game right like yeah

The game is fun right it’s it’s not horrible the hell it isn’t it’s fun uh the game is fun and he if you wear a mask maybe he doesn’t play it right he’s he’s just like I love everybody and everybody’s great I’m everybody’s friend and it’s it’s infectious right and so he

Can play both sides of the aisle he can go on any stream because he’s just having a good time and people like that smiley face right we’re talking this way but you mean to tell me at no point in the hospital bed was he like just going

On a rant about how no dud not not especially after this no he wasn’t like I I I mean waiting for it my moment he was like wiggling and like uncomfortable and I could see the uncomfortability the first day and he was just like and I was like you can’t

You can’t find that spot huh he’s like no no I was like it’s all right they’re going to bring you some drugs your back’s broken so yeah that are going to make you feel real good a littleit but that was about it is like ah I just

Can’t get C well no [ __ ] you broke your [ __ ] back like come on your arms in a sling like you’re trying to roll but you’re stuck in you’re not gonna be comfortable today right it’s just not gonna happen and so but even then he wasn’t like shitty or grumpy I mean

Every time we walked in the room it was that like you know th that that Buddy Christ you know I’m not that surprised though man because like she she has gone through a lot of [ __ ] already man he’s like such a positive dude for the stuff he’s going through like it’s crazy just

How positive he is so like to see you know it’s it’s not that surprising you know no but a lot I mean f the character yeah he’s he’s he’s he’s just got that in his heart man was what I’m trying to say like he’s he’s really when people

Say that they’ve met somebody who might have like purity of heart I thought really think think she is that kind of dude he’s got he’s got a really Pure Heart well and and so I I totally agree and and the reason that I tell people to

Continue I know to continue to reach out you know get on get on his Discord page reach out on Twitter uh over especially over the next couple weeks as he’s going through the Reconstruction on his arm uh the you know figuring out the news on

His back so to speak uh is because I have learned that sometimes the people that are the happiest in public bear the most weight yeah they always are that’s not an exception that’s generally a rule that’s generally the rule right and so I

See a lot of that in him I see a lot of the happy exterior with the man behind the curtain not as happy as the man in front right I’m gonna start getting depress Berto I I go to I got I gotta boot scoop buddy

I’m sorry well no it’s good to see see you thank you for stopping by it’s good to see you guys keep uh keep sharing this out I’ll keep sharing it out just you know this is a this is a fellow nerd and uh and we’re all together on this so

Yeah dude thank you very much for stopping by I appreciate it have a good night but yeah I mean look it’s uh it’s it’s definitely um it’s definitely something that I’ve that I’ve learned over the years is it sometimes the people that that are the happiest in

Front of us tend to hold the most weight of the world right and so that’s why I continue to say Reach Out say hello how you feeling you want a chat right like him and I text each other a lot right we we work together now we’re constantly having

Conversations um the unfortunate part about this is that he has uh he has had some days of work that this is going to take away unfortunately which is you know um in our business ends up being quite a bit of money so that’s you know that’s kind of a kicking the nuts the

One of the first things he coherently said was I’m supposed to work hockey this weekend well okay so here’s the funny thing my girlfriend finds him at the hospital he shows up and the first thing he says is like oh hey and he’s completely doped up and he’s like you

Found me right was the first thing that he that he said when in his drug addled mind when we first found him and then and then he’s like they they cut my shirt off I I don’t my they cut my NFL shirt off right and it’s and it was I

Mean it was black it’s a white shirt right you probably see them on the sidelines of the game these guys in white shirts um those are people that that I work with uh and we wear you know we have these white shirts they give us

To work with and he’s like but my white shirt is is they destroyed it they’re going to have to send me a new one right and it’s it was completely black and freay and torn up but that’s like that’s the first thing he thinks of when he

When ready to go to work right like he’s like but how am I gonna what am I gonna do right like it’s just that in that kid man that that dude so it it’s it bums me out because then you know we talked a little more and I had to reach out to

One of our clients and say look unfortunately guy’s not going to be available he was in you know car accident bah blah and they’re like oh you know okay is he okay okay and so I’m I’m sending my television people the link also because he is a new member of

Our community um but there’s other gigs that he was that he had on the books that he was really excited to do that unfortunately you know we’re g to have to reach out and and reach out to those guys let them know what happened no harm

No foul these things happen but I know how bummed he is about that right when you first start to start a new career when you first get the opportunity and and kind of get your legs under you for the first time it’s exciting and you

Want to do it and and he was so energized for these upcoming days of work over the next month that now are going to have to go away um and I’ve told him I was like man don’t don’t sweat that at all once you’re back to normal even before you’re

Back to normal we’ll we’ll get you out there right don’t don’t sweat that but it’s those were the things he’s disappointed about he’s not disappointed about what’s coming physically his physical therapy his you know bed rest or any of that he’s bummed he’s not going to get to go to these gigs he’s

Bummed he’s not going to get to experience and gain experience at work right that’s the kind of Duty is that I don’t not that I not that I hate my job it’s just it’s a job you know j o so uh I’ve had jobs that I was chasing the money

And chasing stuff I’m past that now but I am envious that because it’s rare where you find something that you are in love with absolutely yeah yeah absolutely yeah it’s it’s hard man I mean that’s that’s the thing about life is that we get so we get so caught up in having to

Having to build life right like having to pay the bills and get a job to pay the bills that we forget about passion right and yeah he has a job like he has a j o right now at home that he can’t do because of what happened which

Is gonna suck but then he’s got this new career path that he’s starting also that’s now got to take a backseat for a minute so it’s it’s kind of a it kind of sucks in both ways because he can’t do his j o but he also can’t do what he wants to be

Passionate about right and so this right now is this weird limbo that he’s going to live in sucks so that’s you know that’s just another reason why we’re here you know um I want to reach I’m gonna continue to reach out I I mean I put all my [ __ ]

Aside for this I reached out to people I am very hard on right including including the the the largest YouTuber in Star Wars I’ve reached out on Twitter to Theory because shiv has been on Theory stream the I mean basically that oh she sh was on the that’s what I’m saying

Like like I said I was surprised when Josh from den of nerds replied to my I’ve been sending that dude DMS on everything for years and never got a reply right and I was literally like sitting downstairs and I was like oh [ __ ] he replied right like you know he

Was reading him the whole time I just not yeah no now I know exactly that’s exactly you literally illustrated my point for me perfectly wow there’s a graveyard of DMS and I’m in that graveyard as well it’s true and so uh so the fact that he replied and then he reposted it

And he retweeted it um like five years old to me to me that’s so like a true Dad yeah right well respect to him for uh showing up for sheave I’ll say that yeah I mean look I know that she is a uh old school old school supporter of den

Of nerds right I mean those guys have been built that Tower yeah I mean you know he knows all the old school folks um and so to see Josh you know even take a minute it retweet it to his community um you know I did I did ask him to try

To you know get it to Theory but I know you know that guy’s got a lot of a lot of plates in play so uh we’ll see what happens but I’m gonna continue to bug the [ __ ] out of him I’m putting my [ __ ] aside for the for the for the

Foreseeable future right especially when it comes to this stuff I’m gonna continue to do so until the SOA season to well until the dude’s out of bed let me put it that way when he’s out of bed he can go ahead and and continue to but

Uh but he’s not the type to ask for anything he’s not the type to ask for anything that’s why we’re doing I’m sure he’s gonna get mad at me for doing this I’m sure he is I don’t care right um I think over three grand I think is where

We’re at Let’s uh I think he’s gonna he’s gonna appreciate this a lot sure’s gonna be mad about it but he’s GNA appreciate it too yeah because he’s such a humble guy he’s gonna ask what can do for you exactly what he’s gonna he’s gonna

Be the and everything I do for you man thanks thanks for this yeah exactly and that’s and that’s exactly why I don’t want him uh I didn’t want him because he wouldn’t do this for himself right and so that’s that’s more of why you know a

Couple of us talked about it I put this out there I talk to my two guys to my right here um and let them see the the go fund me before I posted it just to make sure that I was illustrating everything right that we the picture was

Was like this is the first draft he sent me this I was like yes this is this is exactly what I’m looking for I need something something just like this this is perfect because I I want it out before tales of the Jedi 2 uh it’s it’s

Great timing so this is this is the first project uh of 2024 just for everybody we’re you know this is our first dream of the year uh and this is what’s this is one of many things on the horizon I want that in like a poster format so I justang

Dude we’re gonna do it all I mean that this is probably gonna be on cups and mugs and and and it’s a great idea hanging right here the merch of the first quarter this is yeah I mean so okay so just just to shamelessly plug this is this is the first thing we’re

Going to do for the new year uh is that we’ve also uh just got some new coffee mugs these are uh no no drip these are baller I’m loving this I got this there’s some other stuff uh but yeah we’re we’re doing some new merch we’re

Doing some new stuff but that was that was the most important thing to start the year um as far as merch is concerned is is Mace Windu’s bus driving [ __ ] is coming is coming I told you you guys it was coming a long time ago nerd Mafia

We’ve been talking about this for a long time you got me really I thought you were gonna like start reading a script you wrote for that story no no not yet there is other stuff there is other stuff I would have been here listen the

Whole thing uh we are going to uh well and so I have wanted to do some projects uh over the years I’m still working on a couple I’m still working on some choreography for uh for a a lightsaber scene in the desert we’re going to work

On when it gets a little warmer um I’ve got some some uh amazing martial artists that I’m I got them a couple of uh full contact Savers and I said make something cool so they’re working on some stuff in the background for some intro stuff and potentially some some other edits uh but

I’m also putting together something unique I’ve talked to these two about before also um we’re going to do a full show uh yes exactly that’s perfect um we’re gonna do a full live live live show so I am running out of set stage I am running equipment I am uh flying

People out putting them up uh I have a comedian that we’re going to be working with uh that lives out in Chicago he’s going to come do a couple of sets on the show um yeah so basically the last couple of the basically the last 45 days I have

Been designing the set I have been writing monologues I have been contacting celebrity guests that I’m trying to get on um and I’m going to do what I believe the big guys should be doing right um and I I’ve said this in private I don’t mind saying it outright

If you have 3 million subscribers and 100,000 members to your channel you should be doing more than just creating uh uh videos and stuff like that I think that you have the financial and production capabilities to do these kind of live shows and I’m gonna do it on the

I’m going to do it on the pro level on a garbage budget so my uh I’m going to be financing the whole thing myself I’m going to be putting people up in hotel here in Vegas and I’m going to bring people out here I’m going to shuttle

Them to the facility we’re going to do uh we’re gonna do a talk show we’re gonna do a legit in live in person four to five camera uh live show and we’re going to show the Star Wars Community how it can be done I can’t wait to see the set yeah uh

It’s going to be it’s going to be full green screen so we’re going to be on a production Sound Stage uh it’s going to be full green screen production Sound Stage floor to ceiling 40 foot ceiling um full lighting grid five cameras one on a jib uh isos for each person in the

Uh on the panel we’re going to do a comedian either uh I’m trying to get celebrity interviews I’ve reached out I’m paying sag wages to try to get these people out here um yeah we’re doing it on we’re going to try to do it big how

Does a YouTuber like myself help I don’t wanna you know like the reaction stuff where I would take your view basically I want to do that I mean how how could I like before every episode I would love to have a video associated with you like

Three hours before you air I’ll be like oh check it out guys Star Wars session’s got this interview lined up he’s got like you can reach out to me and I can be sort of a marketing arm that’s AB I I will send you all the preview content

That you want um we’re going to try to do some behind the scene stuff also so I mean I’m I’m reaching for this I’m reaching for the Stars I’m not trying to go small I’m reaching out to everybody from writers uh of Star Wars novels to actors

To um directors whoever I can get my hands on I’m paying sag wages so where will it air here oh yeah okay because of the way that YouTube works if it successfully launches YouTube will go oh look a lot of people are watching this video Let’s just bring it to like

The next tier it’ll be going to more people who were using the Star Wars hashtag we’re using lucasfilm Kathleen Kennedy words like that the key words yeah it’s very important for guys like us and we do have enough sway me Scotty Matt all of us can influence the way

That YouTube pushes this video like we really go all out this I mean granted she’s project has taken the Forefront of my time right now right this is something I’ve been working on for about 45 days so if you watch talk shows right now um for instance Bill Maher is a

Great blueprint for what I’m trying to do uh monologue interview celebrity interview panel comedian finish the panel and then call it a day so what we’re going to try to do is we’re going to try to do um at least two shows maybe one day two shows that day and we’ll see

How long they last and we’ll see who we can get in the room um but over the course of the last 45 days I’ve been designing the desk where we’ll do a panel figuring out camera angles figuring out lens lens choices this is this is all what I do in a regular day

Of work I just concentrate on one little section of Television here on YouTube we have to be our own Pilots for everything so it’s forced me to learn more than I already did and now I feel like with Co over with you know the fear of being in

Front of another person for many people the fear of traveling I feel like the Comfort level has come back and so instead of having six people here like this I’m going to try to get six people here shoot or at least you know a three-man panel with my hopefully the

Funniest comedian that I’ve seen in a long time uh will be coming out and uh and do a couple for us but yeah that’s I feel like focus of discussion would for this would it be Star Wars or yeah it’s just it’s just what we do now but on a live

Scale like I said I feel like again and I pick I pick on Theory because he’s the biggest Target in the room right in our space he’s the biggest Target and when you’re the biggest when you’re the biggest it incurs a little bit of uh I don’t want to say wrath but it

Incurs the the judgment and whatever else you want to call it of other people and so I’m a little hard on him but honestly if I had what he has in his following I would have been doing this months ago he has all the connections to

All the big YouTubers he can get these people in a room together okay with respect to him with respect to him if he wanted to associate himself with this that you welcome that with open arms right dude if he’s got the stones to come down to Vegas and talk and and uh

Do it bring it or even if he plugs it if he says hey I just saw this really cool thing whatever not I I invite him outright because he has a different opinion than me I’m not afraid of in-person Confrontation and discussion right I thrive on it to be

Honest I enjoy the spirit of debate so for me that dude has the largest following I’m going to do something that I he could do in a minute because he’s got the resources I’m going to do it over the next month or so and try to make this come to fruition uh

I don’t have an agent I don’t have most of the things that somebody of that size has to reach out to other people uh but he’s directed a movie of his own that was very well done he’s animated his own content with other people and created a lot of brilliant things this is

Something he could easily do if he wanted to and a lot of the other big YouTubers could at all I mean look John Camp is a great example of what I think what I think of when I think of in-person YouTubers right that dude brings people

They have a lot of discussion that in person that’s the stuff that I’m trying to do now Co really made this whole thing very normal yeah I’m trying to break out of that normaly by bringing people like sheave out here by bringing people like you guys out here by trying to get people

Like Sam whitward like trying to pay sag actors that you know potentially live close right or across the country I don’t really care right oh ch’s got his phone back what’s that something ch’s got his phone or something just my tax did he yeah oh nice maybe he’s on his

Computer um but I know they’re I’m pretty sure they’re driving home um but yeah I think that this is what we’re going to start doing I want to do at least at least at least two of these a year is my goal uh to start with in 2024

My goal is to get at least two full shoot days in this format maybe save a release for George Luke’s birthday where he turns 80 in May yes well and May’s May’s good for me also because that’s when May the fourth you know um but you

Know we are also May 4th really no no I mean that’s when was just saying it’s good time to do it um we are also going to um start prepping for celebration in 25 so you know I’m I’m fully interested in going to Japan for celebration in

25 so there’s a lot of stuff in the next year that we’re going to start prepping for that we’re going to start organizing for but this is the goal for 2024 is to put on live shows with in-person panel with potential celebrity guests with with comedians with monologues like in a professional

Atmosphere it’s going to be interesting but this is the stuff we’re starting the year with unfortunately I’m putting that just away for a minute I’m going to continue to work on it on the side but right now shiv is the priority right I want to get him in a good space once I

See that he’s in a good space then I’m going to continue on this and get back on track but um when we get to that point your guys’s promotion is clutch and I and I appreciate the offer to to promote it because I think this could be

A fun New Way for us to get together also not just conventions not just you know I happen to be on that side of the country screw that let’s get you guys here for a little mini vacay with your partner give me two hours of your day

That day and then go have some fun right that’s the go right let’s get yeah let’s get some people together let’s have some fun but let’s also do something different right because we do this a lot right to be able to shake hands across a table right to be able to

Share moments like that before and after the show right is gonna be it’s like a comedian doing a set with other comedians right it’s it’s exciting and that’s what I want to do and so sheave was already on the roster to come out anyway because he’s so close and

He’s my guy but you know I want to invite people like cat and Tom from the Dork Discord I want to invite people like ad edits and ADHD that create these awesome projects right I want to talk to them about these experiences building this stuff I want to do it in person

Something different and you know my East Coast friends all of you East Coast friends you are equally invited at any time so we’re g to get you know we’re gonna we’re going to make that happen I know you guys have little people and and real lives you got four tickets I do I

Do make it work look I’m not joking they be at hotel grandma and grandpa so fast that’s what I’m saying you send those kids to Hotel grandma grandpa or aunt and uncle and jump on a plane but the the goal is to make this a more regular

Thing I don’t need a convention I don’t need need a Meetup I don’t need any of this I want it to be fun for everybody and that’s what this channel has always been about is more Community than me right yes could I get on stream and talk

Like Josh for two hours yes do I enjoy the sound of my own voice yes I do so I would could gladly do it but this is more fun I really thought he was gonna answer no to that you kidding I sound like a a young

Uh I sound like a young James Earl Jones are you kidding listen Luke I am your father I me come on that’s that’s it wait was that thought that was AI was that AI what was the scene in Fanboys he like he just called himself white chocolate I just watched that like the

Other day well that was more for you Matt that was a Big Bang Theory reference more than yes yes CLE America scenes that popped in my head yeah man this is this is what the community is to me the community is reaching out when you’re in trouble and

Saying hey I need a leg up right that’s what this community was created for that’s what this channel was created for this channel was not created for me to have a a a a space to just yell at people and and say crazy [ __ ] this was

Created to help people to have a place to go when you want to be positive and there’s nothing more positive than helping people right there’s nothing more satisfying in life than helping another person and to see that um and that’s why that’s why I do this to begin

With I’ve taken a month off uh to really gather and reassess what I want to do with the channel leading up to 2024 I’ve been talking to my partner about the upgrades we’re going to make to the channel over the course of the next couple months getting ready for our

Big plans this [ __ ] happened to to sheave and I am so thankful to a whatever your beliefs are I don’t shun anybody for their belief whether you believe in God whether you believe in the universe whatever your belief I am thankful that dude got to walk away from

This I am thankful that he is still here yeah most out I thankful and and I feel like we are blessed with mild injuries over over the what really could be we got out life ending he got out pretty well I me in a decent place it’s going

To be a long journey back but ultimately he’s walking away from it and I feel blessed that that’s that that has happened I so whatever your belief is thank your God yeah for me and for sheave because this is in my in and all the [ __ ] that I’ve seen I’ve seen

Cars on fire I’ve seen people on fire right getting out of race cars I’ve been in cars that have flipped where the roofs are caved in and you’re surrounded by airbags like a canoli and walked away with a cut on my face right I have been blessed to never have been in that

Situation where I’m laid up in a hospital bed same I’ve escaped a terrible crash also fine the man is alive so I thank your Gods whoever they are for my friend making it home so if you have the ability to to donate the T in the ticker is where the

GoFundMe is it’s really easy GoFundMe back slf backel sheave the wise if you go to GoFundMe and just type in Vader’s layer or sheave he is the first person that comes up so please if you have a dollar to spare from anywhere please donate to everybody that has donated so

Far I thank you from the bottom of my heart I am a old crusty Grinch of a person I try to be better everywhere especially here but I am thankful for every single dollar because it is not easy out there everybody’s got [ __ ] going on and the fact that you donate

Anything is a blessing so thank you for that I will be reaching out to everybody personally that has donated to the cause to thank you myself um yeah oh balloons I didn’t know you um Peace gets you the balloons so um so yeah thank you thank you guys

Very much for uh for all of that I I do want to take just a minute and I feel like Steve kind of ushered this in I just want to get a quick thought on what we have coming are we excited for now I have a secondary question oh okay I I

Have a second question from the gallery go ahead uh hotron from from the East Coast hey Mr Obsession just a tag on to what uh that boy Steve’s asking is that really the title of the movie I don’t I don’t think so the Mandalorian and grou that that’s what they’re calling it in

The Tweet I’m I’m just um I don’t think they have a title yet okay that could be the working title The Casual is no baby Yoda so I don’t think calling him grou is the advantage you think it is or maybe they’re driving it home I don’t know it

Weird know maybe Yoda and de Mando I don’t yeah who thought that we were done with a show and onto a movie uh I figured because I called that when they did the Mickey Mouse the Mickey Mouse ending I kind of called it the show was over I

Didn’t think so I thought we were getting another season okay okay and then uh any positive or negatives on an Ahsoka season two yep yeah okay I think it didn’t it just get officially confirmed now Rosario was rope a doe what did I tell you guys remember when we talked the

Other day and I was like man but I what’ I say Rosario’s out there saying no but she really knows it’s a yes right so she’s rid doing us the whole time again that’s what I was saying when everybody was like Rosario said no like oh my God Rosario said

No she even said uh what she say radio silence radio silence right but just like Mark Hamill nobody knew nobody knew Mark was doing something for Mando season 2 finale you and McGregor lied publicly to everyone for like seven years right Hayden Hayden kept his mouth

Shut until it was close you know I mean until they announced it at Celebration um Disney Star Wars Lucas film is very good at the old rope a doe they’re very good at keeping their actors quiet they are so much better at leak suppression than Marvel right it’s a it’s really

Interesting they let out what they want to let out but they’re really good at keeping their people tight lipped at lucasfilm it’s really different because Rosario lied Mark lied there’s a lot of liars in that camp I was impressed in the 2020 December like presentation that’s the same time we got Rogue

Squadron and all those they never said anything about book of Boba Fett but like a couple weeks later at the end of Mandalorian you saw an advertisement for a TV show so yeah and da Fon has ties to that Dave Fon might be the guy to say I

Don’t want to release or announce anything until it’s time Skeleton Crew we have really no idea about it acolyte I mean acolyte keep saying that the Skeleton Crew is going to take place out there where they are or in another type of galaxy type situation so I I do agree

I think that like that’ll come but it’s got to fit in Timeline wise it ended perfectly like they’re not anywhere that they’re going to interfere with any movies here so and that’s all new Star Wars Canon like we don’t know the father son of it all you know so yeah yeah it’s

It’s to be honest look I know that um I know people aren’t excited for the ray movie I know I know people are not excited for the future canonization of SQL era stuff um I think it’s a smart move to continue the voyage forward in the Mandalorian time era right now yep if

You are using this to solidify the sequel era rather than diving into a squel era movie until this is done because if you can use this to get there don’t muddy the waters with a ray movie in the middle of it too late right so well we’ll we’ll see I mean it seems

Like this movie is going to go first right with John and Dave probably already having written a script right for the Mando movie versus the ray movie right the ray movie doesn’t even a real locked in script yet right that we know yeah right I mean there’s no real locked

In screenplay that’s been released but I bet you John and Dave have been working on this script in screenplay since Mando 3 ended the script won’t be locked until a month before his release right well but the idea the idea is on the plate I think two weeks I just wanted to throw

In that jab to Kath Kenedy yeah but two weeks before the release two weeks um well isn’t that what Daisy said about n like they’re lit 24 hours before they released can we get two re-shoot please yeah right um but yeah we’ll see you know I’m I’m interested to see where we

Go I like that there’s an Ahsoka season 2 I think leaving I personally have always believed that uh that balin’s story was cut short that the footage they actually shot with him was was held back oh yeah for a season two ending to his story I feel like they

Shot a lot more with him and that they held a lot of his Ending Story back and re rewrote after he died or recut to save some stuff for a season two and that’s actually more common than a lot of people realize when doing a story

That’s G that has the plan to continue on they’ll film stuff for the sake of continuity and keeping like an actor looking the same like having it just blend you know it’s so I I’m with you man I I would bet good money that they got that in the can already and just

Waiting to release that yeah I I bet you they have the the whatever the continuation of balin’s Journey is that’s probably in the can for the beginning of season two to lead them into you know because it just seemed like his story was so short without conclusion and to recast would be very

Very difficult and so it felt like after he passed away that they kind of re-edited his his Ending Story and and are going to use potential footage they have in the can to finish his story in the second season I kind of felt like that whole story was left unfinished and

That a season two was kind of inevitable so I’m excited I’m excited about the the Mando movie I want that that Infinity War mhm stuff that Dave was promising us this Mando verse Infinity War I want that and now that thron’s back and the night sisters are back and there’s some

There’s some evil in the universe again let’s get after it um so I’m excited and I think 2024 has started with a [ __ ] [ __ ] show but I’m excited by the end of the year that things will be looking much B brighter for our friend and potentially for Star Wars

We’ll have to wait and see on both accounts but I’m excited I’m excited for 2024 regardless of how it started so anybody last thoughts anybody want to plug anything they’re doing anybody anybody anybody before we cut out of here go get your go get your Matt cave

Merch I’ve been drinking out of it all night it’s much better um you’re my biggest merch supporter we will continue to uh to keep you guys a prize I’m hoping maybe next week we can get she on the stream and we can do a little one-on-one to start the

Stream and then maybe bring in guests so they can say hello and and let him know we’re glad he’s okay so maybe next week uh we can all get together again if you’re available but I’m G to try to get him and maybe we can talk about him and

How he’s doing and people can see his bright shiny bruised face and uh his broken nose uh but like I said it might make him even more handsome than he already was sometimes uh fixing a broken nose with a broken nose like two wrongs make a right sometimes so um but uh

Again make a right turn around yeah that’s it um sure so thank you everybody who donated if you have the ability to donate please get out there and donate please share the tweets uh and the link to anybody you can the more eyes get on

It the more dollars we can get in my guy’s pocket to help him get through this time again thank you there’s a comment to read from Smith Family TV there we go uh thanks for the for uh yeah yep yeah he should be home very very soon uh he’s probably been on the

He’s been on the road the whole time we’ve been talking again he doesn’t really know he might by now based on I I’m not sure if his communication systems are back online yet but I know that the the comms array in his life was damaged so uh so I’m I’m not sure where

He’s at I think uh Mafia were you texting with him is he back on the grid I got like a reaction to a text okay so at least he’s back on the grid so um so again reach out uh on Twitter reach out to Vader’s layer on the Discord if you

It prog project NEC romancy for our friend so we can try to rebuild him uh it just sounded a little poetic so I had to do it but this is this is why I’m here this is why this channel is here is to support the community as a whole

Regardless on what side of the fence you stand on whether you’re a Disney lover or a Disney hater it doesn’t really matter when the real world comes to play right when when things happen in the real world we put our [ __ ] on the shelf and we have a good time and we support

Each other and then we pick our pick our swords back up at the end of the day and we can go back to the battle so uh you know I know that this would never happen but what if it was like his super villain Arc now and now we get the I’m just
