Shit’s about to get real!

Just needed a little more Steve Berra, that’s all.

So it's gonna get worse now? I don't want sbeve to be in control of anything

Guess Steve finally found his machete

I'm kinda intrigued to hear more about this. I find it fascinating how they started with just seemingly showing private videos from pros warm up sessions (or something). Their rise to fame, where batb and a commander part seemed to be super influential, until the last couple of cariuma years and footage consisting of extremely ugly combos and surveillance video (it must be nice).
Anybody knows the story of the berries?

I'll remain optimistic.
At the end of the day they did make the original berrics which was cool.
So there's a chance they turn it around.
I wouldn't bet the farm on it, but it could happen.
-
They’ll bring back butteryass Mondays and wednesdays with reda if they knew what’s good for em

So the last 5 years of batb didn't count?

We can all thank this heroic skater for pushing the bad guys out. I saw a documentary about this recently:

Hypebeast

Honestly if this is the year that Berrics returns to its former glory or even better, that'd be really cool
-
I'm confused, you all have been saw-conning Berra for eternity and now you're excited about his return to the helm? Starting to think SLAP is one of those questions we may never know the answer to...

They’re finally gonna let Alex Olson back in.

Berrics has always sucked, e.g. highlighting skater owned skateshops while running their own online store, trying to dox Slap users who criticized Berra, etc.

Did he get banned LOL? If yes, how?
-

The memory of those seasons was implanted by the robots. None of them ever happened! We’re out of the matrix now buddy.
-
So, does that mean Liquid Death and Cariuma bought out Hypebeast?
-
Congrats to Steve Berr and Eric Erics! This is huge.
-
Of course he's blaming the past 5 years of shitty initiatives on Hypebeast, which is nonsense of course… the bottom line is that the best berries ideas didn't originate with Steve, he's just not creative enough to come up with that shit on his own. The people responsible for the best stuff are long gone. We're probably just gonna see a rehash of dramatic documentary style videos about people who ride for cariuma.
-
Throwing the last 5 years of creative direction under the bus so directly is vintage Berra. What a nutcase. Could have just focused on the future, but gotta publicly shit on that chapter, never makes you look good. As if Berra hasn’t been embarrassing since forever and all time before and as if koston is much better.
I mean don’t get me wrong, fuck whoever was In charge the last five years too, but come on. What a god damn psycho Steve is, fun watch though.

Newsflash: that was actually just “last year’s” (2021) Battle.
BATB12 just felt like it took 5 years.
And to answer your question: no… it didn’t count.

The Bills are now in control of the AFC East after 20 historic years of dominance from the Patriots. It’s a breathe of fresh air for something new. A lot of people got tired of the Brady and Belichick era including myself.

The best part of all this was DGKalis posted his cell here for people to text him to get DC’s side of the story. I texted him and he invited me to a session at the Chicago Post Office. Nothing too spicy came up, but he basically just confirmed what everyone already knows…Borra on Cluster B Personality Disorder.

The DC Super Team that was sorta Plan B affiliated was pushed through the Berrics. When the contract ended, DC pivoted to doing more of the golden era vibe that they are currently running and a lot of that super team was cut (cuz they expensive) and the Berrics was left without funding, which came as a surprise to Steve.

Nah sorry I don't believe this. Sbeve has always been at the front making himself look like an ass taking everything personally when people shit on the berries, no way he's had 'absolutely no control' over anything they've done for five years. He knows it's sucked for the most part. I wouldn't be surprised if that was largely due to outside influence but at least take a bit of ownership in that. Such a cop out. And of course they could tell us the whole story and easily prove themselves absolved of all responsibility, but probably best not to bother. How convinien.

they actually did buy their controlling shares back from Hypebeast, and it took them over a year to get the funding. In the meantime all of the loyal staff jumped ship because yeah why work for a narcissist who can afford a tesla and fly back and forth to chi all the time but not give raises. the whole "we're free to make groundbreaking content now" just smells like MJ's comment about Crailtap not being able to handle his genius. theyre in denial big time.

Cole, Taylor, and Gustavo I’m sure have differing opinions on their separate splits with DC on the Nine Club or Blunt, but, I really don’t care to look them up, but, that was a very entertaining Berra rant. Kid still could back flip back in the day, but skateboarding doesn’t owe you anything but wheel bite and road rash.

Their content has been so lazy and uninspired that it almost feels like they did it purposefully to buy it back cheap after a few years of free rent and salaries.
Highly doubt Hypebeast demanded that 90% of time their videos have to feature some random cariuma guy no one's ever heard of
-
Berra is the worst
-
The Berrics has sucked for more than 5 years tho
Pretty sure that push project where they still owe people money on happened way before the hypebeast deal
-
Berra does this a lot where he's like "hey guys I know some of you are upset with the decisions that I'v been making at the berrics [...] these are actually outside of my control", but here is the thing Berra seems to not understand, even if he's telling the truth [...], you are cosigning them by still being the head, the face of the berrics, it's your name it's on the door"
[...]
He's the one who keeps inserting himself as the face of the berrics, he's hosting a new show called the skateshow, and the first thing that he does is go "hey guys I know that you are upset with me but uuh don't blame me here's Antony Medina!", I don't know this fucking guy, I don't care

I'm confused, you all have been saw-conning Berra for eternity and now you're excited about his return to the helm? Starting to think SLAP is one of those questions we may never know the answer to...
I don't think anybody's excited about anything related to this story.

So somehow borra conned “someone” else into giving him a bunch of money to buy his way out of the hypebeast contract. Hopefully they also give him money to pay off all the debts he owes to filmers and contest winners. Or maybe they will all have to sue him like the emerica tm did (hint hint)

was thinking bceause they are clearly unable to put together 16 -32 men in 1 room for like 4 hrs to complete a tournament, why dont they just do really hype money matches of 2 pros we really really want to see and just drip them out as they please, instead of people dying for the event to constnatly come to a conclusion?

Wasn't there an MMA league where a dude would fight until he lost for a PPV, if someone beat him they would pick up the card and finish the night? Maybe do something like that, there is just always a reigning winner.

SIMB - Sucker Idolizing Mediocre Berra
Never do hand shake deals with skateboards, get everything documented. I'm amazed he signed contracts with the sponsors for AV gear but didn't bother to get on signed with the Berrics.
Sounds like the JT situation with Garage Days and the lawyer, pro skater taking advantage of a fans eagerness to be in the industry.

This guy is also claiming that Berra made a deal with the live-streaming service Caffeine. He mentioned that Berra did this behind the back of HypeBeast. HypeBeast owned 51% of the berrics at that time so they would need to know about business deals like that. Berra told everyone that Caffeine was getting involved for free because of the exposure but Caffeine was actually giving him a check

guy can't even sell out properly

Since I took the time to watch the video ill give a summary of the timeline of events. Basically this dude, the hyphenate, got Berra to hire him on a handshake deal to create the berrics gaming and podcast divisions. Glossing over details of Berra's bullshit... the podcast fell through after this guy had already spent $10k of his own money and leveraged his relationships to get $10k in gear from sponsors to build the studio for it. They still went forward with the Berrics gaming and the dude got to keep the studio himself, but after that experience the hyphenate wants shit in writing so he gets the berrics GM to link him up with hypebeast. Hypebeast gives him a contract for doing the berrics gaming and this guy was the face of and behind the scenes dude for the Berrics gaming for the 1.5ish years it lasted. After hyphenate has been doing gaming for awhile Berra starts working on a deal to get the berrics paid by caffiene for the berrics to livestream on their platform. Berra recruits the hyphenate to be a part of the caffeine deal but it has to stay secret presumably for the surprise factor. He has email agreements for 32 episodes of caffiene streams that he thinks hold up in court (including him specifying his limited responsiblities) but there's never a contract for it. While he's doing the caffiene streams there is some friciton over people wanting him to do more than the responsibilities he outlined in their non-contract agreement. His contract for Berrics gaming runs out around this time too, and then he gets squeezed out/fired before the 32 episodes of the caffiene streams are up. His business/lawyer friends encourage him to try to collect what he's owed for the remaining episodes based off the email agreements. Berrics GM tells the guy you're not getting paid there's no contract that's just the way it goes. He says he thinks it would hold up in court, they say you don't want to do this you'll get blacklisted from our small industry. He says let's work it out, Berra proceeds to blacklist him. He doesn't mention ever bringing it to court so presumably he never did.

Yes, and the dude said it was a six figure deal with Caffeine, and that Berra himself wrote him checks for running that production, paying him personally instead of having the money come from the Berrics, in order to keep the paper trail off the books

berra committing fraud with the caffeine/hypebeast deal is the only interesting part of that whole video. dude at one point said that berra was his hero, if that's any indication as to what kinda guy he is. his brand also sucks and him getting butthurt about berra taking a sticker off a bench was pretty funny. dude had like 30 chances to get out and refused to pay attention to every warning sign. the second time berra ignored him he should've pulled all his gear out of that studio, taken the book of receipts he had for it and returned it all. influencer types man.

This is what kept me listening, this guy is so LA! The amount of times he sold his soul and Berra knew he had him completely wrapped around his finger (so he could then continually blow him off) was comic. Berra bigtiming him just makes so much sense, I feel like I really understand Steve now, I’ve been around people like him before. They are always in the “dreaming” stage and only execute to the degree it lines their pockets. They prey on anyone who respects them and will take advantage to the extent their limited creativity will allow.

"What's the best hat to use while I clear my name? Ah, this one with 'doubt me' written on it"

w/o a doubt.

- Berra did the Caffine deal behind Hypebeast's back, who was the 51% owner of Berrics at the time
- Berra claimed that Caffine's association with Berrics was free and for exposure, when in fact they were paying Berrics to produce live shows
- Hypebeast is entitled to a cut of the Caffine deal
- Invoices were sent to The Berrics but paid using Berra's cheque book
The Berrics GM he keeps mentioned and says is a good dude was complicit in screwing him over and strung him along just as much as Berra / Caffine did. The GM saying "that's just how this business is" and "we never signed a contract" is just as fucked as Berra ghosting and gaslighting, sad that he's defending him all the way to the end.
Edit: He ends off with "never meet your heroes" - your first mistake was making Berra your hero.

to be fair this dude seems like a moron. Using his own money to build a podcasting studio for The Berrics and desperately trying to be involved. Its a sad story either way.

Someone DM the IRS like a man and let them know about Steve’s antics.
-
Another highlight - There's apparently security cam footage of Berra showing the podcast studio off to wealthy/high profile people. When someone asked who built it, he dismissively referred to this Hyphenate guy as some rando who was allowed put his poster on the wall as a favor.
Should have been the final straw of final straws.
Someone DM the IRS like a man and let them know about Steve’s antics.
Oh shit. According to the fair and balanced reporting of Fox News, the IRS is about to get 87,000 heavily armed tax enforcers. Only a matter of time before they fast-rope into the Berrics like a Tom Clancy novel and confiscate all the hard drives & paperwork.

1. When doing business, who doesn't get everything in writing?
2. Why would you do business with someone who doesn't show up on time for meetings? That should have ended it right there.
3. Berra played him, but did Berra have knowledge that Caffeine would eventually get involved? Otherwise, I don't really understand what Berra gained in the short term since he couldn't use the studio without that guy. Obviously, he got that deal in the end, but it sounds like Berra wasted his own time as well stringing him and many others along with no monetary benefit.
4. I am just blown away by how dumb and naive this hyphenate guy is assuming everything he said was true.

This guy worked for berries and helped develop the gaming segment for them. But Berra being Berra, would switch things last minute and blame others for his mistakes. The deal they did with Caffeine was supposedly supposed to be a free promotion but they made a monetary deal. Hypebeast was contracted to split the profits 50/50 but because Berra told them the collab with Caffeine was free, Hypebeast wasn't shared the profits and went against the contract.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRmn0gisjJk
Berra then went on to spew bad things about the guy and when pressed on it, asked "What do you mean?"
Interesting to see someone who worked with the berries come out and share their experience working with Berra.

I am not suggesting that Berra would go to jail for rooking this podcast bozo, but if he did indeed take money behind the backs of his partners and put it into his private account, that's called embezzling.

If you spend ten thousand dollars of your own money upfront to build some sort of studio for a very widely known website without anything in writing, then I'm sorry homie you played yourself.

Was THAT genius creation one of his ideas, or something the Hypebeast overlords forced him, foot-to-flame, to participate in?

Skipped around a bit and I feel bad for the guy but in the beginning he said he spent $10k of his own money for a studio build. Then he got screwed and pushed to side by Berra (big surprise), to then go on and spend $1,500 for some Halloween video and another $4,000 for a xmas video? For what? To show his value, creativeness, and knowledge?
Come on man, if you met and followed Berra since 09' you'd know the reputation he had of fucking people over. Why on gods earth would you not learn you lesson and move far far away from that company after he ghosted you for so long in the beginning?

Respect to this dude for trying to keep his head down and do his work, take initiatives into his own hands and ultimately be screwed by Borra. Hard lesson to learn. Seems like he's got his shit together enough to be successful without that entity. Bummer.
-
I know that victim blaming sucks, and I'm definitely not going to watch that fucking video to find out more, but quite honestly I feel the same about people who enter into business deals with Trump and then act all shocked when he completely fucks them over as people who enter into business deals with Steve Berra and then act all shocked when he completely fucks them over.

regardless of how naive you are getting taken advantage of sucks when your intentions are genuine and positive
pretty standard LA con man type ish tho probably should axe the brand at this point instead of wierd passive agressive ig posts

Sounds like the dude is sitting on a ton of fucking iconic Berra fuckery footage just from the short descriptions of audio and video he says he has recorded. Berra showing off the studio to his “celebrity “ friends or putting him on blast.
he should make a rise and fall of the berrics documentary as well as suing them all.
-
Also, there's a clue in the post about who will be helping to run the berries this year.
L Ron Hubbard?

Nah you're right...I forget that I didn't start out all jaded either and that it became a defense mechanism against various atrocities.

The “general manager” and “producer” don’t come out so hot in any of this story either so it’s strange he doesn’t actually name them.
It can’t be too hard to find out, but my curiosity ends right up to that point.

The berrics gaming?

What I find surprising is that he's doesn't sounds like a fool, all the brands he worked with knew to get contracts in place. He only figured to have stuff in writing (email) with Berra Hypebeast / Caffine after a whole year later.
I understand being star struck by pro skaters, Berra would fall into that category in the late 90s / early 2000s, but 2020s Berra?

This guy worked for berries and helped develop the gaming segment for them. But Berra being Berra, would switch things last minute and blame others for his mistakes. The deal they did with Caffeine was supposedly supposed to be a free promotion but they made a monetary deal. Hypebeast was contracted to split the profits 50/50 but because Berra told them the collab with Caffeine was free, Hypebeast wasn't shared the profits and went against the contract.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRmn0gisjJk
Berra then went on to spew bad things about the guy and when pressed on it, asked "What do you mean?"
Interesting to see someone who worked with the berries come out and share their experience working with Berra.
I found it hard to root for this fella.
I’m sure he just fires up a Gary V playlist, get fired up, and gets back to entrepreneur-ing anyway.

He reminds me of that Burberry Erry kook sans spikes and high-fashion bullshit. I guess your typical Cali bros are all pretty similar in the end.

It seems as though the "Hyphenate" was more of an "asterisk," a footnote—if you will—in the history of the Berries. Period.

I got the CCNA back in 2018, which is basically the equivalent to NET+ in terms of networking knowledge with some Cisco specific routing and switching stuff thrown in there. I’m personally not a fan of CompTIA’s testing style. Which is why I’ve been putting off getting the Sec+. I know info but I’m dreading the test. As of recently, I’ve mostly been stacking vendor specific certs. Like Fortinet’s NSE4 was the most recent one I got. My company has Pablo Alto firewalls so I’m working on getting certified on those. Glad to hear there’s other tech folks here

Damn! Congrats on getting the CCNA! Thats a heavy cert. i would consider doing something with a bit more weight then the Sec+. I do the CompTIA track because I get them for free through the non-profit im linked up with.

Yeah the CCNA was not easy. Took me two tries to get it but it was worth the effort. You’re actually the second person to mention that about the SEC+. I’ve been considering just going down the CEH route since it pretty much builds off of things I learned studying for SEC+. Even started learning a little Python to diversify myself a bit.
I used to work with a lot of hardware in my last job so I feel you on that. I think I still have a few Cisco 2960s and an ASA sitting in a box in my garage. The lab does come in handy to practice for some of the simulation questions on exams though.

I did the CCNA, although my cert is long expired. I honestly don't think there's much future in Cisco in particular, but the CCNA carries a lot of weight and involves some very heavy networking concepts. Even if no one is using Cisco by 2030, it definitely demonstrates to employers that you know how computers talk to one another and that is basically all you need to get in the door with a lot of places.
I appreciate the offer of help with the Net+, but my company will pay for all that stuff. I just have to actually do it, but it turns out that it's uhh... terminally boring, not nearly as fun as skating or playing music. And actually, now that I am working in cyber security, I should probably be turning my focus in that direction.

what is life.
I read this thread and checked out the IP adress links.
ok, interesting, whatever
I posted a vid in the 'dream backyard skate spots' thread. And check the rest of the dudes channel. He has videos called PJ Ladd project granite.
It vaguely rang a bell so i decided to google it.
Of the few links came an xgames page wherein an article linking the project granite (http://www.xgames.com/action/skateboarding/article/4010024/project-granite-pj-ladd)
I click on the link and it sent me to hypebeast.

I’ve been considering just going down the CEH route since it pretty much builds off of things I learned studying for SEC+. Even started learning a little Python to diversify myself a bit.
I used to work with a lot of hardware in my last job so I feel you on that. I think I still have a few Cisco 2960s and an ASA sitting in a box in my garage. The lab does come in handy to practice for some of the simulation questions on exams though.
I did the CCNA, although my cert is long expired. I honestly don't think there's much future in Cisco in particular, but the CCNA carries a lot of weight and involves some very heavy networking concepts. Even if no one is using Cisco by 2030, it definitely demonstrates to employers that you know how computers talk to one another and that is basically all you need to get in the door with a lot of places.
I appreciate the offer of help with the Net+, but my company will pay for all that stuff. I just have to actually do it, but it turns out that it's uhh... terminally boring, not nearly as fun as skating or playing music. And actually, now that I am working in cyber security, I should probably be turning my focus in that direction.
I did my CCNA in 2014 and have never used it in the 8-9 years I’ve been working since. But it definitely looks good to employers when moving roles, but that’s all I’ve used it for. In hindsight I probably would save my money and not bother on Cisco CERTs. But that’s just me, it was not useful for me, it could great be for someone else, I just don’t run into anyone using Cisco switches really anymore..

Anyone have his Berrics contact list provided by the GM?
I wouldn’t mind prank calling some industry heads on a Saturday night.
I’ll record all the convos for Slap’s delight, I live in a state you don’t need two party approval.

Good on TH, sounds like he's grown a pair and isn't having any of Berra's shit. He was simping for Berra hard for 2 years but I'm proud he stood his ground during the Berra ambush and seeing through the gaslighting and BS. His friend who tricked him into meeting Berra under the guise of lunch was a real jizz cock.
New developments:
- TH proposes a joint video for both of them to talk through each point, but Berra (naturally) doesn't want that
- Berrics and Hypebeat had weekly Monday meetings, apparently Hypebeast had zero input on Berrics content, Berrics team still had content control over, approvals are through Berra
- Berra claimed the gaming videos weren't getting enough view, by TH's recollection with screenshots he didn't reference they were doing 10k views and up on YT alone, combined 250k over all the videos
- Berra repeatedly offers to pay him off, "I don't want people to think I'm doing people wrong, I'm here to make things better, I came to apologize."
- Berra's offer to fix it was a photo together with him arm around TH, with a thumbs up and a "it's all good" caption
- They agree to meet at a restaurant to discuss options the next day at noon, but Berra ghosts him again, asking him to text him a list of "demands"
- TH texts him 1 option, Berra's response will determine what we see in the next vid
-

Hyphenate's friend set up a lunch date with him, and then told Berra where and when they'd be so Berra could pop up. Berra does so, tries to apologise but doesn't really, goes off on narcissistic tangents, tries to belittle Hyphenate, says he doesn't care about his video and that it doesn't bother him(but it does), and repeatedly tries to throw money at him for a 'resolution' and to take the video down.
Hyphenate isn't interested in the money or bait that's been offered til this point in the convo, so Berra offers to take a selfie with Hyphenate, post it on IG with the caption 'All good' and call it a day. Hyphenate also denies said offer. Berra sets up a meeting for the following day at 12pm to try to find a real resolution. The next day rolls around and Berra cancels the meeting around 10:30am. A potential resolution is coming, but remains unknown for now.

Fingers crossed that the resolution involves a can of gasoline & a match.

Ngl I’m just waiting for the Gifted Hater video to learn what all is happening here.
-
Hyphenate is starting to learn, Berra only listens when you release a youtube video about him. This is the kinda low stakes ego feud I can get behind. I like how Hyphenate is saving his receipts and promising future drops, and it’s compelling that it’s supposedly his reputation on the line and he can’t be bought. He finally is making the Berrics content he always wanted to ;D

“We’ve seen companies, rappers, bands, actors all hit a certain level of success and then, under the tyranny of time or stress of combat in an unforgiving world fall apart, lose their voice, forget who they were. The first thing we needed to do was gain control of the Berrics again so that we could make the decisions. Once we could do that we had to challenge ourselves and admit that it could do with a few improvements. We figure that if we’re going to take the bullets we’re at least going to be responsible for the reason why they’re being shot. We’ll be back very soon. - sb, ek”
Christ on a wire, just sell the place and move on.
They can’t, dude. This building is much more than just a training facility.
Seriously. Like, imagine if THE Berrics closed its doors. That would be the metaphorical bomb going off that would end skateboarding as we know it.
WOW. TOP TIER username. 😆😉🔥⛽️
EDIT: also this username reminded me of the time I met rune in 2001. he was skating a vert ramp at the E3 convention on mushrooms, while blasting 6+ Foot airs. I had only been skating for maybe 4 months at the time, it was the first time I’d ever seen someone skate vert in person. quite the introduction.
-
Nah we need to find out who the "friend" his who set TH up to get ambushed by Berra.
-
Berra is definitely using Hypebeast as a cover for the downfall of the berrics in recent years. Crazy to think that he never attended those meeting
-
After watching both videos, with at first being really critical of Hyphenate's choices to spend money without contracts in place, Berra's manipulation worked really well on him for the years they worked together, but im glad Hyphenate(Joey) is not budging from his stance on the issue now.
For those whom didnt watch the over 1hr first video, Joey explains at the beginning the manipulation tactic Berra slowly started using on him. After winning his weekend to attend the first BATB and years later Berra remembering Joey and following one another, giving Joey's posts attention, all after Berra was told how much of a fan Joey was and how appreciative he stayed of the opportunity he got to go to the berrics, he used that to start planting the seeds of his manipulation onto him.
Joey then spend time helping Berra paint the inside of the berrics and got to know him more than just the owner of the berrics, but on a more "friends" type of level. This is when Berra started using his status against Joey. Taking meetings and making Joey wait on him (to let him know who's in control), and with how much Joey had told him he wanted to help, Berra wanted to break him. Joey was also too fixated on the exposure aspect of their "deal", but did tell the GM he wanted to have something in place (contract) for when profits would roll in, but until then, the exposure alone would be able to hopefully get him money in the long term if their plans worked out.
Im certain in his time he would ghost or flake on Joey, he was in talks with Caffiene and Cariuma, for which were suppose to be the saving graces after Hypebeast's time "in control" of the berrics was done, but that doesnt excuse his behavior as if something was a priority, making time for said priority is crucial, and unfortunately Berra didnt see these new ideas being all that successful, and especially profitable.
Joey still remained hopeful of exposure not only to new audiences from his pwn recognition, but being linked to the berrics was a huge opportunity, hence why he never truly pressed Berra, as he didnt want to lose out on what couldve been a huge opportunity. Unfortunately that blinded him too much to the red flags everyone else could clearly see.
The last straw, as someone else pointed out, was the claiming that the studio for the gaming/podcast was Berra's while "some kid" was "allowed" to have a poster in there, shouldve been the final nail in the coffin. But again, putting too much hope in the outcome, when the road to get to said outcome is filled with land mines and obvious resistance of which the success was only on Joey (him buying all the equipment and being the ones to set up the deals with Rode, el gato, and whomever else he worked with), had Berra without responsibility, but would be able to reap the rewards if done right.
Joey got smart to be a part of the Caffeine deal and put into writing getting paid for all of his efforts and his capitol within the berrics, and that's when im sure Berra really ran his mouth to others as he no longer had control over Joey, as he set his own schedule inside the berrics and times he can be reached.
The "producer" and GM maybe felt something about that too, as the producer was inexperienced, and the GM couldnt rely on Joey's constant presence, but he said he wouldnt name them as both were cool at the beginning, but once the deals were done and Joey wanted what was his, both started turning on him.
And Berra ambushing Joey, saying he wants to be "friends", all while saying, "nobody liked you: nobody at the berrics, the producers, nobody at all liked you or your content", and still wanted the glory of "we're good now" with HIS arm around Joey in the picture (still wanting to make it seem he is in charge), everything Berra has coming to him is more than deserved.
I dont fully blame Joey for being so blinded, as his own videos on his channel dont get tons of views like what he did for the berrics were able to get, and the exposure couldve brought in quite a bit of money to supplement the initial loss of paying for the studio; as well as the manipulation tactic was fucked up. Even with my friends, everything is on trust, and Joey was led to believe Berra could be trusted, and from my take on his video, Joey doesnt seem to really follow the industry as many on here do, so his naive mentality toward the entire situation is understandable to a degree, but red flags are still red flags at the end of the day, and he shouldve cut things off much sooner than he did.
I know that's a lot of analysis for this situation, but I enjoyed trying to break down the mental aspect of the situation while I watched the videos, so here's a wall of text for anyone else whom enjoys the same thing.

Feels like pretty low-hanging fruit and in hindsight "Ambush detractors" probably would have been a stronger finish to the Berra system but I'm glad someone got a kick out of it.

this hyphenate guy might have one of the most egregious follower to view/like ratios i've ever seen. he has 13.5k instagram followers and recently got 12 likes on his post. he also recently put out a youtube video about using rejection as fuel that only 120 of his 70,000 followers watched, so he at least can refer back to that one when checking the analytics he's so excited about

Berra sounds pretty draining but this dude is kind of lame too, that Halloween short film, he injects himself in, kitted out with his Doubt Me clothing brand. Ehh, Doubt Me is the lamest brand name, it remind me of some hardcore music shit. He doesnt seem like a skateboarder, just one of these 'go getter' business dudes.

Not gonna lie this dude is a fool. Dumping tons of money into the Berrics on handshakes and no contracts is insane and milking this with 3 videos and showing no proof of anything but continously saying "I have receipts trust me bro". Either take the money or move on you got used bro. Thanks for exposing Berra but you're about 5 years late on realizing the man is a massive fucking kook

What's Berra's burner account for slap?
slapdeeznuts or something like that. slapgodaballs? there was an account years ago that sounded like berrics on troll time with 'slap' and a slang word for 'testicles' in the user name.

I had the Hyphenate videos recommended to me on YT.

It's so slimy watching SB at BATB now, every time hes either ref or the final where hes next to T-Puds as ref, it just feels off.

If you look in the comment section of any Berrics drama video, there’s a ton skaters who either got yanked around, or had their accomplishments buried.

I think a big part of me was just blissfully ignorant to the last few years. Sure you always see comments on social media where they totally troll SB, but I never thought about the reasons why much. Kinda like I already had an acceptable answer in my head as to the why, so no need to dig further.
I will happily take the L for being totally clueless about the hypebeast ownership, and I'm glad this all unfolded and I got this perspective of the business.
After watching this YT odyssey, I have some minor points/questions:
- the Hyphenate is still a bit sketch on 'receipts' and although the screengrabs in the burner account video are somewhat damning, it could've also have been the GM, the one he hypes so much.
- SB is giving some serious social media Goebbels vibes, the recent spam on instagram, the plugs etc etc, he's visibly trying to bury the Hyphenate news
- how many other BATB's have been tainted by SB?
- is courtroom drama even possible for this case, again having not been shown the 'receipts' it's hard to guage how much of a precedent this has from the Hyphenate's perspective. I'm guessing Hypebeast have grounds to sue SB, but question is have/will they?

I think you're on to something here. When Joel Petersen was the GM at the berries—he's a childhood friend of borra's who quit abruptly in 2016 after one of those mega 40+ person staff meetings but it's just a skeleton crew working there now—he got into an absurd confrontation with Chris Mendes. Mendes had shown up out of the blue during an employee after-hours skate sesh and refused to leave, even after the GM asked him to. Mendes pulled out his phone and recorded Joel patiently asking him to respect the staff's sesh and leave, but Chris wouldn't, and eventually a bunch of us had to encourage Chris to gtfo. Needless to say, that fool was banned with extreme prejudice. Borra brought him up at many staff meetings after that, basically pointing out how socially awkward the guy is. To me, this comment, and lots of other comments this account makes, kinda sound like Borra ranting during a staff meeting (but it could easily just be someone who really backed him hard and then gave up sometime around 2015, realizing that Borra just leaves sycophants hanging):
One person who contributed is Chris Mendes. Went to jail for doing something awful to his girlfriend. Not sure what the real story was but either a unwanted sexual act or hitting her. He's also the most awkward person on the face of the planet.
And about the Bryan Arnett videos: the stuff about Juan Escoto being blacklisted in battle for aborrica is true, tho kevin Duffel had a hand in that back then. Borra fancies himself a gatekeeper. He still won't allow any mention of DC shoes, Jason Dill, Fucking Awesome and more recntly DWay because of their agenda tiff and zumiez, because borra pitched some derivative video series to them and they ended up making something similar, or something.

You'll have to be more specific. I could write a few hundred pages about all of the cycles at the old berries, and what led to the downfall, and how Borra leeched the talents of some truly creative people and took full credit for some of the sites most enduring work. But its painful to dredge all of that back up.
'There was so much potential for us to be something really progressive, but Borra's ego kept tripping us up. For example, the period beginning in 2014-ish when Duffel came onboard was unbelievable. He brought a real professional producer's mentality to our content and helped us to see what the berries was from another perspective. Most of the filmers hated that time because the deadlines were brutal, and Borra was impossible to please. Borra's focus was to have all of us crank out "snackable" content, a minimum of 5 short videos every day, tried and true formulas like "whats on your camera roll?" (actually pretty good), or "this is how i got sponsored" (hit or miss). He was running us ragged just to dump content and get an insane share of voice in skate media. This was the "quantity over quality" period, and it sucked. When the original GM ghosted us, it all started to become very very clear: we're in trouble.'
Thus begins chapter 1 of my great Aberrican novel "Is that you Xenu? It's me, Borra"

I mean… if THIS is the material he wanted to host/post on the Berries, I totally get why he got the gas face from Borra.

I wanted to turn off that rap short upon seeing his stupid face and the first breath he took in but I toughed it out to the end. This hyphenate hack is about as good at rhyming as he is at negotiating contracts apparently. Perfect for each other indeed. Just fire both of them off into space never to be heard from again.
-
I didn’t read from the beginning some posts are taken down.
Can I get a run down on what’s happening?
Here are some points in this thread if you do some reading through...
After watching both videos, with at first being really critical of Hyphenate's choices to spend money without contracts in place, Berra's manipulation worked really well on him for the years they worked together, but im glad Hyphenate(Joey) is not budging from his stance on the issue now.
For those whom didnt watch the over 1hr first video, Joey explains at the beginning the manipulation tactic Berra slowly started using on him. After winning his weekend to attend the first BATB and years later Berra remembering Joey and following one another, giving Joey's posts attention, all after Berra was told how much of a fan Joey was and how appreciative he stayed of the opportunity he got to go to the berrics, he used that to start planting the seeds of his manipulation onto him.
Joey then spend time helping Berra paint the inside of the berrics and got to know him more than just the owner of the berrics, but on a more "friends" type of level. This is when Berra started using his status against Joey. Taking meetings and making Joey wait on him (to let him know who's in control), and with how much Joey had told him he wanted to help, Berra wanted to break him. Joey was also too fixated on the exposure aspect of their "deal", but did tell the GM he wanted to have something in place (contract) for when profits would roll in, but until then, the exposure alone would be able to hopefully get him money in the long term if their plans worked out.
Im certain in his time he would ghost or flake on Joey, he was in talks with Caffiene and Cariuma, for which were suppose to be the saving graces after Hypebeast's time "in control" of the berrics was done, but that doesnt excuse his behavior as if something was a priority, making time for said priority is crucial, and unfortunately Berra didnt see these new ideas being all that successful, and especially profitable.
Joey still remained hopeful of exposure not only to new audiences from his pwn recognition, but being linked to the berrics was a huge opportunity, hence why he never truly pressed Berra, as he didnt want to lose out on what couldve been a huge opportunity. Unfortunately that blinded him too much to the red flags everyone else could clearly see.
The last straw, as someone else pointed out, was the claiming that the studio for the gaming/podcast was Berra's while "some kid" was "allowed" to have a poster in there, shouldve been the final nail in the coffin. But again, putting too much hope in the outcome, when the road to get to said outcome is filled with land mines and obvious resistance of which the success was only on Joey (him buying all the equipment and being the ones to set up the deals with Rode, el gato, and whomever else he worked with), had Berra without responsibility, but would be able to reap the rewards if done right.
Joey got smart to be a part of the Caffeine deal and put into writing getting paid for all of his efforts and his capitol within the berrics, and that's when im sure Berra really ran his mouth to others as he no longer had control over Joey, as he set his own schedule inside the berrics and times he can be reached.
The "producer" and GM maybe felt something about that too, as the producer was inexperienced, and the GM couldnt rely on Joey's constant presence, but he said he wouldnt name them as both were cool at the beginning, but once the deals were done and Joey wanted what was his, both started turning on him.
And Berra ambushing Joey, saying he wants to be "friends", all while saying, "nobody liked you: nobody at the berrics, the producers, nobody at all liked you or your content", and still wanted the glory of "we're good now" with HIS arm around Joey in the picture (still wanting to make it seem he is in charge), everything Berra has coming to him is more than deserved.
I dont fully blame Joey for being so blinded, as his own videos on his channel dont get tons of views like what he did for the berrics were able to get, and the exposure couldve brought in quite a bit of money to supplement the initial loss of paying for the studio; as well as the manipulation tactic was fucked up. Even with my friends, everything is on trust, and Joey was led to believe Berra could be trusted, and from my take on his video, Joey doesnt seem to really follow the industry as many on here do, so his naive mentality toward the entire situation is understandable to a degree, but red flags are still red flags at the end of the day, and he shouldve cut things off much sooner than he did.
I know that's a lot of analysis for this situation, but I enjoyed trying to break down the mental aspect of the situation while I watched the videos, so here's a wall of text for anyone else whom enjoys the same thing.

I’ll be honest here - this generic, middle aged hustle/grindset dork being conned by the Berrics has gotta be the least sympathetic figure whom Steve could have scammed. He is either so dumb or was so desperate for clout that he ignored about a million red flags.

@Simple Magic had a good take in this weeks newsletter:
It’s become bad enough that it almost makes you think the content-stifling allegations against Hypebeast were true and that maybe they were trying to save what’s left of The Berrics’ reputation by keeping Berra from having free reign.
Anyways, as he appears determined to ruin his options at financial and cultural relevancy, I predict we see Berra take a route frequented by a growing number of self-immolating public figures with a distinct inability for personal reflection: on Newsmax decrying “woke” culture in 4-6 months.

Now that the patriots have been in control for some time, did anything change?

At this point it seems to be a repost/skate news blog. When they first announced the “new control” or whatever they had a game of SKATE with Felipe’s vs Ribeiro’s (Felipe Gustavo & Felipe Mota vs Gustavo Ribeiro & Carlos Ribeiro) on multiple obstacles (flat, ledge, rail, hubba, 10 stair etc). Personally I enjoyed watching it. All those skaters are really talented and it was cool seeing them do some tricks they normally wouldn’t and how consistent they’re. The vids had little to no Berra in them as well. For a second I was hoping the Berrics would get back to their roots but surprise, they didn’t and it’s still whack. I feel like they could slightly redeem themselves if they had kept up some games of skate like that or get some OG’s we enjoy watching to do some bangings or recruits. Pretty sure most of us would tune in if they got Heath or Kareem to do like a minute of Berrics footy.

koston and berra's "100% in control" announcement may be a lie. the site is still hosted on amazon servers that point to hypebeast, who probably pays the amazon bill and likely has control of all the data. or they just have some weird setup going on

that is how hypebeast has set it when you visit their ip address directly. when you go to theberrics.com, you are getting data back that is hosted on those ip addresses
As someone studying for the Net+ currently I appreciate this.
I told myself I’d get my Net+ when I started working again now it’s nine months later and I’m just fiddling around on guitar and posting on Slap instead of stacking certs.
