[Jebediah]

Mike Sinclair, Moose and Nick Merlino second hand embarrassment

It’s the new Terminator 2 reboot. That’s actually Eddie Furlong now.

To much YouTuber ass bullshit to make this an interesting conversation. Merlino was trying, but dude didn’t seem interested in him trying to be diplomatic in his approach.

I feel like moose goes back and forth about what happened with deathwish and rather it was his fault.

[graveLabor]

m0ose saying mystery does not pay him for online board sales sounds like a scam.

Is that normal?

[realtalk66]

checked this a few weeks ago when it popped up in my youtube recs and I know im cooked cause I almost made it through the whole thing. gotta stop watching youtube trash its rotting my brain

[Frank Sobotka]

This popped up in the old YouTube Algorithm™ recently, so I watched it without knowing anything about the content creator and found it mildly entertaining (disclaimer: I was pretty blazed at the time). I think the only thing I enjoyed was the cringeyness of it all. I find shit like that fascinating, in a guilty pleasure sort of way. Also, it's interesting to me to take a look behind the curtain at the lives of former pro's who've fell by the wayside (I'm actually morbid as fuck lol).

Anyway I went down a rabbit hole and watched a video he did along the lines of 'infiltrating the world of pick up artists' which was even more abysmal than this. I'd be surprised if this dude hasn't been knocked out doing these videos.

[sfa]

will not watch this, but will add that expecting to make money off Mystery in 2024 is insane.

[grandslam]

Haven't gotten past the first minute yet, but any insight into a successful career in pro skateboarding coming from notoriously irritating and self-awareness lacking Nick Merlino already tells me all i need to know about where this video is going.

edit:
got to the "were you getting pussy on deathwish" question and knew it was time to step away. this was awful.

Probably not normal, but who else would sponsor/pay him at this stage of his life?

He's probably just happy to get free boards.

[carcinisation]

This is a really great idea, but it needs someone with talent and social skills to pull it off.

[Lame_Nigga]

Does Moose just constantly talk shit on YouTube now? First I was sympathetic but it’s time to WRAP IT UP. You’re a grown man who goes by Moose for some reason, we ain’t taking you seriously

Jamie Thomas is a scumbag if he isn't paying a pro for every board that they sell with said pros name on it.

Regardless of Mystery or Moose's relevance.

ESPECIALLY companies he has no involvement in!

Jamie Thomas has nothing to do with current day Mystery.

The disrespect he gave to the worker asking him to leave the store at 12:20 was shocking - what an absolute cunt he is!

[Gnar_Gnar]

I would rather not interact with this type of low hanging youtube clickbait

[lurkluke]

damn, next you'll tell me artists and musicians are also poor.

Going to someone's place of work and creating a scene for YT content is shitbag behavior.

Mike Sinclair didn't give any industry secret away, and no concrete salary figures from Moose or Merlino. Shredz Shop's analysis is probably the best inside view of how much pros actually make - 90% make next to nothing, 9% make something decent, 1% make a boatload.

Or you must remain perpetually in high school

not gonna watch this but nothing upsets me more than giving someone a hard time at their job.

[ShyLow]

please delete

[TheDraught]

Usually I like any clip that has Sinclair talking, but this was awful, that YouTuber so fucking full of himself...

[c-dock]

I listened to this while at work a couple weeks ago, the only things I got out of it were that:

-Nick Merlino seems like a pretty mature dude these days

-Moose is bitter about having to work a job now

-The youtuber's attempt at comedy is unfunny and he generally seems really fucking annoying to be around. And don't even get me started on dude's haircut
