PATRIOTS ARE IN CONTROL (of the Berrics)

[arrbee]

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?
fantasy matches id like to see:
gino vs. popps, fred gall vs. BA, Pine vs. SkateGOAT, Tyshawn vs. nigel, possibilities are endless

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.

The Berrics should just sell a ppv of Berra boxing Tony Hawk for smoking a joint in 1992 or whatever

[WarmUpZone]

We're now about 10 days since The Berrics announced their new direction and the new content strategy appears to be... no new content at all.

I'm backing this new direction.

“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”

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.

Had it running in the background at 2x speed.

Berra sucks and gave him the run around. Dude is really bad at seeing the signs of being worked over. Dropped $10k of his own money on podcast equipment for a berrics pod that never came.

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.

Edit: Berra gaslighting the dude about the livestream

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

So then Berra was just straight-up embezzling from the Berrics?

[ShyLow]

guy can't even sell out properly

[skunty]

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 on jail?

[urbneathme]

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.

[skippersoldballs]

The berrics gaming?

[crob legs]

the kid sounds like a nerd but berra played him. did berrics have gaming? i only ever watch that games of skate and even then, only on yt.
koston is out of the picture, huh? story would be cooler if he told hyphenate to fuck his face but if not, doesn't really give a reason to hate mr frost.

[BunnyLebowski]

maybe when the berrics finally shuts down and yoon or chase will tell the story of what happened in the old berrics but they never will as long as the money keeps coming

[dallou]

This guy has 70 000 subs but gets 100 views per video, pretty crazy ratio
