​@@ThatZenoGay She got paid in $500 worth of gift cards, and a $1000 purse. I think there was $2000 in fees, but my memory is fuzzy on that. So, best case, $3500 in spending money, worst case, $1500. In those 'Sex Work Is Real Work' circles the prostitutes mock people who believe that all, or even most, prostitutes are only doing it because they need to be 'saved' by calling them 'Captain SaveAHoe.' I don't think that a prostitute on a high-end escort site regularly hooking up with willing sugar daddies would be like "Sweet! I made $3500! Now I can quit being an escort forever. I just needed some money to save me." Like, have some respect for the girl. She was with a disgusting man, both in body and mind, was ashamed of herself for doing so and got a different job. She didn't need to be 'saved', and the money she got was likely helpful, but she wasn't exactly retiring and living in luxury after getting a few thousand dollars.

Used to be a meme that people thought Francis was a real person until they found out it was an act. Then people found out the Boogie persona was faker than the Francis one.

Boogie strikes me that he is the kind of person that would rather people point and laugh at him, than ignore him. He's desperate for any sort of attention, and if things are quiet for too long he'll say something stupid just to be spoken about.

Boogie also lied in most of it. So, like, just go in there knowing that Boogie is actually quite wealthy, and virtually everything he said in the documentary is made-up. Like, he actually went on the Lolcow podcast and threw the guy who made the documentary under the bus by being like "Bro, he should have known better than to believe me," and being countered with "But... You DID lie to him."

The broken sound bar reminded me of James and his hard drive/Thunderbolt wire woes

I let out an audible “oh no” when I saw Nina and Boogie in the same thumbnail.

"Full calorie soda" is now seared into my brain. Frankie's description of the fondue fountain was also great and delivered with an almost pornographic level of glee.

An Arkansas 8 would be a hot country girl. Sounds pretty damn good. Boogie is a USA 0.

One thing I've noticed is that some people fall into a "pity trap". Whatever problem they have, it could be a disability, weight problem, mental issues, etc. They make their problems into their main character traits. It becomes a main talking point to anyone they meet. Their whole character becomes molded around their problems. I've never really understood why someone would go down this road willingly. I'm in a wheelchair, its very obvious that I'm disabled when people see me. I absolutely do not talk about my disability when meeting new people. I actually do the opposite and just talk about normal stuff. I don't need to explain myself to anyone, and I'd rather people know WHO I am and not WHAT I am. I can't really imagine just meeting someone new and saying: "Hi! My name is Spartan! Here is a long lore dump into all my medical problems!". That's not really any kind of attention I would ever want. I can't really comprehend any of it. *Shrug*

Loved that you had Nina on! We had so many similar thoughts watching this. The psychedelics was SUCH a left turn on an already weird documentary. It was hilarious to me that the guy making the documentary needed a break because he was way too depressed. The rest of it was creepy and sad. I wasn't a follower of Boogie but knew who he was. I didn't know about the guns and the criminal charge and all of the other crazy shit tho.

Nothing wrong with a 900 square foot home, but I'll be damned if I'm giving up my 5k square foot McMansion.

I feel like I clocked into who Boogie was very early on, and was kind of surprised so many people were falling for it. I had just run into 'that guy' so many times in my life before seeing any of his videos. These guys, especially ripe down south and in the Appalachians, with this constant 'poor little me' narrative while they lie and try to manipulate you. Overly melodramatic, not shy about sharing deeply personal trauma in any effort they can to gain your sympathy while also being pretty gross people in general.

Nina is so great and underutilized. I'm guessing she has better stuff to do than to gossip about slobs. The "Mr. Rogers of the internet" nickname says a lot more about the toxic bilge that is the internet than it does Boogie. The reddit megathread was a crazy saga unto itself and it's super convoluted. There was a subreddit called SamandTolki that covered a popular speedrunning couple. Their relationship imploded at one of those GamesDoneQuick meetups and somehow SamandTolki morphed into being about speedrunning drama and goss. Boogie, having basically no involvement with speedrunning, ended up an obsession for SamandTolki. I think the subreddit may have gradually started to cover just random nerd goss. It's been a while. (Insert Creed joke here) Anyway, there was an enormous megathread at SamandTolki that was compiled of Boogie's lies and manipulations. It was way over the top, but the megathread did change a lot of people's perception of Boogie. Boogie is a windbag with no equal, and when he was spiraling he was constantly threatening to harm himself and going through a weekly cycle where he'd make a long, emotional confession about all the things he was doing wrong and then he'd promise to change and it just degenerated into slop from there. Oh yeah, Frank Hassle also made an appearance. That was one of the most hilarious and messed up chapters of the saga. Anyway, love the channel.

There's a type of person that actually feels most real when put in an embarrassing situation. It's a fucked up thing and it has its origin in childhood as a solution to a narcissistic trauma where the child learns to get attention/love by being pitiful, subconsciously learning to get himself into embarrassing situations and milking them dry for sympathy. My father was like that, and overcoming this paradigm completely was a little unsung accomplishment of mine. Pity is good when appropriate, but it's no substitute for love.

I've never followed Boogie, but he's always been kind of on the periphery of the kind of content I consume so he's been a background character for me for awhile. I think a lot of what you said tracks, but I just want to add that I truly believe on top of everything else that Boogie has a shame/humiliation fetish. I'm not going to say that his fetish is the main or only reason he does things like this documentary as well as the "aren't I just such a liar" behavior you rightly called him out for, but I *do* think this fetish is why he is more than just comfortable with it, but seems to actual revel in the negative attention.

I was mostly involved in atheist to christian confrontations back in 06, and would only check out such popular channels in a fad manner. I've only seen a few of Boogie's videos, and I can't remember anything about them now.

This documentary should have been titled "Imagine The Smell"

I can't wait for the sequel about The Croc.

18:28 - actually Boogie was previously pictured with this grabber device in his living room.

I can’t even begin to imagine what it must feel like to be desire. I’ve been laughed at before and it always feels awful, so I can’t even begin to imagine being laugh at to that degree. I feel really bad for her.

Funniest thing is that the documentary couldn't be monetized because of all the copyrighted music. Edit: In the documentary he actually confirms that, during filming of the documentary, he still has $30k in crypto. The 'loss' was him investing a bunch of money in crypto, watching it climb to a huge number, and then from that huge number it went down significantly. But, he never took out any of that money, so it wasn't a 'real' loss. Just watch the documentary again keeping in mind that the whole time he had $30k that he could (and should, it's crypto) take out.
