The Never-Ending Nightmare of OnlyUseMeBlade

Before Roblox, indie horror titles, and

Fortnite took over the YouTube gaming

space, there was one game to rule them

all, CALL OF DUTY.

>> IN LAST STAND, YOU KILLED ME IN LAST

STAND.

>> FROM MODERN WARFARE ONWARDS, the series

was on a hot streak for the better part

of a decade, releasing hit after hit.

And as the developers lined their

pockets, they were side by side with

YouTube. The site had started just 2

years prior to the release of COD 4.

With its growing popularity came an

entire community of

20-something-year-old guys looking to

make their mark. SeaNanners,

Whiteboy7thstreet, xJawz, Syndicate, and

many others rode Call of Duty galloping

to fame and laughing all the way to the

bank. In the years that followed, some

of these guys transitioned into other

games.

>> Fortnite Friday episode 2, you guys

>> While other names faded into relative

obscurity. But one man was embarking on

a different journey, total

self-destruction.

>> I have a drinking problem. When I drink,

I drink in excess.

>> OnlyUseMeBlade rose to prominence for,

well, only using his knife. He would

just talk over gaming footage discussing

Call of Duty news, sharing stories from

his life, and messing around with his

friends. But over time, his content

turned from gaming to drinking while

gaming, and finally ingesting enough

alcohol to kill Dimebag Darrell.

His life has become a never-ending

downward spiral of sexual assault

allegations, annoying strangers on the

street, and having his limbs amputated

due to severe alcohol consumption.

>> I lost my toes, dude.

>> A man who was once poised to become a

YouTube gaming legend is now trapped in

a prison of his own making, one he

intends to stay in. This is the story of

Brian Rosso and the dangers of

addiction.

>> Uh all I do is I uh shank people when I

play uh Call of Duty.

>> He is easily the world's worst streamer.

He is a serial groper.

>> You should be honored that I would ever

grope you, you stupid [ __ ]

>> He's an animal abuser as well.

>> I sit in front of the computer, and

people donate money for me, [music] take

shots, and I get stupid.

>> People will donate for him to take more

shots, and he'll just get drunker and

drunker. So, he's like a legit alcoholic

now.

>> Oh my god. I would

7:00 p.m. we're going to do a fan

meet-up. I got you some ice cream, cool?

Dude, I'm drunk.

>> Dude, he lost his toes.

>> Dude, can we stop focusing on my [ __ ]

foot? Why do people want to focus on the

negative [ __ ]

>> Did you release all Jessica?

>> Absolutely not.

>> It involves Blade sharing pictures of

other people's private parts without

their consent. [music]

>> Well, you can't do that.

>> Blade news, the guy who died on his

stream.

>> Yeah, or maybe

>> [music]

>> Two years ago, I made my original video

on Blade, but my audience was a lot

smaller than than it is now, and a lot

of you guys are probably unaware of his

history. Especially the younger viewers

who weren't tapped into the Call of Duty

community when that was around. So,

we're going to go all the way back to

the beginning, work our way up to where

my last video left off, and then cover

everything that's happened since then,

which is a lot.

>> What is on the screen is me absolutely

terrorizing these noobs, [music] like

absolutely destroying them.

>> Although it's been deleted, the earliest

archive snapshot I was able to find of

Brian's YouTube channel comes from

January of 2010, when you could still

have custom backgrounds and colors for

your YouTube channel. His bio explained

his gimmick as straight to the point as

possible. I only knife in Call of Duty,

and I upload videos to showcase that I

can bring a knife to a gun fight. I have

full matches and montages. I used to be

a noob and use weapons, but I made a new

account when I found I can win matches

by knifing only. I don't use explosives

or shoot guns, I just knife, and I

upload my footage. Enjoy. There's

honestly no overstating just how much of

a YouTube OG Brian actually was. Back in

2009 to 2010, regularly getting tens of

thousands of views on your uploads was

so rare that he still had links to

download the file for his videos in

their descriptions, so that people could

share them via email. At the time, the

idea of uploading stuff YouTube and it

taking off was mostly reserved for viral

videos. So, plenty of people still

relied on having their stuff manually

shared, re-uploaded, or featured on

other sites outside of YouTube because

the algorithm wasn't really figured out

yet. This page is so ancient that in his

channel's bio, Brian added the link for

his toolbar. You might not even remember

what this is, even if you are a Jurassic

creature [music] like myself. Nowadays,

all Windows computers come with a

default Microsoft Edge browser

installed, which no person on planet

Earth uses. Then you have Firefox,

Chrome, and other browsers that normal

people use. Then you have Safari and

Opera, which you use if you like men.

And last but not least, Brave, if you

believe that Benjamin Netanyahu is

trying to read your emails. But, back

during Web 2.0, over half of all

internet usage took place on Internet

Explorer, which was known to be very

vulnerable to these toolbars. If you do

remember them, you were probably smart

enough to opt out of them whenever you

were installing a program that you

downloaded off some sketchy site. But,

your parents probably weren't. And since

at that point in time it was much more

common for computers to be family

computers, you randomly woke up one day

and your computer was overtaken by this

garbage. To put it simply, they were

everywhere. And having a custom toolbar

was kind of a sign that you were a

legitimate brand online. Another staple

of that era is the classic YouTube music

intro, which has also been put to death

by copyright claims. This time was so

primitive that Brian was unable to

record his gameplay and his voice at the

same time. So, he would record his

gameplay first and then narrate what was

happening in game. Or, he [music] would

just talk about something else entirely.

>> See the lag? See how long it took for

that the register Oh, no, this isn't the

one I die. I'm taking fire though.

>> Because ad revenue worked differently

back then, Brian, as well as most Call

of Duty channels from this time,

partnered up with the now defunct

Machinima, the most prominent of all

multi-channel networks. You couldn't

just get paid through YouTube as a

gaming channel back then. You had to go

through one of these networks who would

collect your money from YouTube and then

send you a smaller check in the mail.

Thankfully, the day these abominations

ruled YouTube has passed, but before

they were widely recognized as useless

companies that just took 40% of your

money doing nothing, it was the way to

make money. And it was also kind of a

status symbol if you were relevant

enough to be invited. Naturally, the

YouTubers who were partnered with

Machinima collabed with each other a

lot. So, Brian landed features with

YouTubers like Seananners. For a little

perspective, there was a time in the

early 2010s when the name Seananners was

one of the most popular gaming channels

on YouTube along with PewDiePie and

Tobuscus. Meanwhile, each COD release

seemed to be a bigger and bigger one and

Brian was able to capitalize on his

popularity by pumping out video after

video easily making thousands of dollars

a month.

>> I'm only easy bike.

Huge penis. Everyone knows this. We're

about to go pick pick up Black Ops in

T-minus now. Modern Warfare 2 came out.

We had a magical year. We're about to do

it. We're about to do it bigger cuz I

want to provide for you the best

awesomeness that is knife only video

game awesomeness.

>> Creators like him had free reign to pump

out videos with relatively low effort,

often completely unedited for years. By

2012, right in the middle of his peak,

he had half a million subscribers and

over 62 million channel views. But

slowly but surely after that, as the

landscape on YouTube changed and began

favoring slightly longer videos, his

5-minute long uploads became a bit

dated. Rather than change with the

times, he stayed mostly stagnant. His

content remained the same exact thing it

had been for years. His growth slowed

down as he topped out at around 600,000

subs and then started to lose subs with

every upload, gradually dwindling in

viewership. The signs were there that

Brian was being left in the dust. And to

be honest, there's nothing really wrong

with that. If he had just continued

posting into irrelevancy and then was

forgotten about, well, that's a much

more preferable fate than how things

actually worked out. The problem for

some people is when you find yourself

making a bunch of money out of nowhere

without putting that much work in, one

tends to take it for granted. And when

that popularity starts to go away,

people don't know how to recapture it.

And the downfall that follows is a

particularly painful one. You're simply

not adapted to having to struggle, so

you hang on for dear life on the last

thread of relevance you had, refusing to

actually change your ways. Some people

actually handle this balancing act

surprisingly well and manage to

cockroach max for many years, just

getting by.

>> least like the stream. Any contributions

are greatly appreciated. Super chats,

memberships, give me memberships or

tips. Please send a tip tonight. Let's

support the stream. Let's get some tips

rolling in. Let's get our first tip of

the night. Let's get our first

memberships of the night. Let's get a

super chat in it for the night in here.

>> Others, not so much.

>> Love. Love. Being alive. I'm in a

tremendous joy. I'm in a tremendous joy.

Lovely. Lovely. [music] Lovely.

>> I'm in so much joy.

>> Joy. Brian found himself somewhere in

between. From the get-go, it was clear

that Brian wasn't your wholesome bedroom

facecam gaming YouTuber from the 2010s.

He had an edge to him that other guys

did not have.

>> We are about to

introduce my hair and we're about to go

into Black Ops. Let's do this.

>> And on top of the sort of frat guy humor

itself, he was known to be a drinker. At

the time, viewers didn't see it as a

problem. After all, he was hardly

dysfunctional. He had a successful

YouTube channel. Blade was just seen as

a guy who liked to play games, party,

and have a good time. One of the very

first people from the same community

that took notice of what he was up to

was Woody's gamertag, who started the

PKA podcast, which he runs to this day.

Brian was invited to PKA and it yielded

some interesting moments. Funnily

enough, right before getting into the

interesting moment I'm about to cover,

Woody accidentally refers to Brian as

Wings, meaning Wings of Redemption, a

fellow Call of Duty channel turned

internet laughingstock.

>> Hey Wings. Not Wings. Blade. [music] We

were talking earlier about conforming to

society, like getting a normal job,

stuff like that. So, you're a bouncer

and you also do some home theater

installation. Is that like a day job?

>> And I do uh I have this little YouTube

channel, too. That's about the extent

Yeah. You guys should check it out. Um

yeah, that's pretty much about that

That's kind of like where all my three

sources of income are from, which is

>> ever feel driven to like, you know, get

a job with a tie?

>> Yeah, but then I like I kind of look

back and go, "You know what? A lot of

people would kill to be in my position,

cuz I like I have such a easy like all

three of my jobs are jobs that I love

doing, you know what I mean? Or I or

they're easy. Like the bouncing job is

the easiest thing in the world. I sit

there. And the the Call of Duty stuff is

I sit on my couch and play Call of Duty.

And then occasionally I get out of my

house and go install some home theater

systems. So, I feel blessed and

fortunate that I get to do pretty easy,

pretty fun stuff."

>> For the most part, the guys that got

really big during this era were

basically nerds. I don't mean that as an

insult. This is also describing me. But

this wasn't like the modern internet

where normal people can just hop on

their phone and become famous. The

people who got anywhere significant back

then were usually computer-bound

friendly dudes who were smart enough to

invest themselves into content when it

was still growing and had the technical

know-how to set themselves up with

capture cards and screen recording

devices so that they could put out

decent [music] content. Meanwhile, Brian

was still working regular jobs as a

bouncer and a home theater installer,

all while running his YouTube career. To

reinforce how much of an everyman this

guy was, in this same podcast, he even

tells a story about having to work at

Best Buy and going to work so stoned and

sleep deprived that his co-workers

thought he had pink eye and sent him to

the hospital. At the time, this was just

a funny anecdote. Everyone has that one

friend that comes to work a little too

hungover, a little too much. So, sure,

Brian got stoned and much more

frequently he was drunk, but nobody

really saw it as an issue, at least not

enough for it to be some kind of

controversy.

>> Do I drink? Yes, I do enjoy drinking.

When I'm at work, I typically have about

three to four shots throughout the night

of working. I'm in a bar. Customers come

in and instead of tipping me money,

they'll say, "Hey, we'll get you a

Jagerbomb." Give me a Jagerbomb, I'll

slam it, do my job, everything's cool.

It's been like that for 2 years.

>> At this point in time, he was working as

a bartender, so it's not too surprising

to hear that he sometimes got high off

his own supply, so to speak. However, it

is a bit concerning that he basically

describes doing this every night for 2

years. And this was said by Brian in

2011. So, from the very beginning of his

online presence, he was already pretty

fond of the bottle, even if it didn't

terribly affect the rest of his life.

Even during the heights of what could be

considered his prime, there was a

consistent thread of Brian drinking. And

occasionally, he also got drunk during

streams. For example, this one from 2014

with Keemstar shows Brian nursing a

bottle all throughout. Nothing really

crazy happens, but it is relevant in the

way that alcohol slowly but surely

became a more prominent part of his

content. On the topic of Keem, he's an

important part of Brian's story.

Currently, he runs the Lolcow Live

podcast, a show where he has corralled

some of the internet's most hated

figures into a personal pen where they

discuss current events and bicker

amongst [music] themselves.

>> I'm not GOING TO DO THAT SO THE KEEMSTAR

CAN JERK OFF TO IT.

>> What you probably know Keem for is his

previous show, DramaAlert, where he

would report on internet gossip.

>> Tessa Brooks and Snake [ __ ] well,

these two have not been getting along.

>> But before that, he was DJ Keemstar.

He began his career by streaming his

trash talk sessions in game, insulting

players about anything and everything.

As a result, he was acquainted with a

lot of the early YouTube gaming scene,

including Blade. They got along so well

that Blade eventually relocated from

Seattle to Buffalo, New York, so the two

could make content together. From their

podcast to sketch, trips to the

nightclub, and going to GameStop for new

COD releases, the two were thick as

thieves. They They pivotal elements in

the 2011 Battle Cam Bowl, a Call of Duty

competition featuring the greatest in

YouTube gaming entertainers. But more

interesting than the competition itself

is the billionaire who hosted it, Alki

David.

>> I bought the company.

>> He utilized some of his vast wealth to

start the company known as FilmOn, which

later partnered with Chicago rapper

Chief Keef. Keef later named his own son

snowfilm.com

in honor of the company. The partnership

between FilmOn and Chief Keef lasted for

less than a year due to contract

disputes, so now there's just some kid

in Chicago called FilmOn for no good

reason. Besides FilmOn, David also

launched Battle Cam, one of the earliest

streaming sites.

>> We got Big Man OnlyUseMeBlade competing

against Wings of Redemption. This is a

eating competition. They got their pizza

ready.

>> He really tried to kickstart his

popularity by offering $1 million for

someone to film themselves getting naked

in front of President Barack Obama. For

promotion, he also tried pretending to

stream the euthanasia of a man, which

actually succeeded in fooling a lot of

people. Given his unorthodox attempts to

get Battle Cam at the top of search

results, it's not surprising he also

tried more conventional methods, giving

Blade and other Call of Duty YouTubers a

platform. After all, they were the

community to watch at that time.

>> And OnlyUseMeBlade trying to get one

more in there.

OnlyUseMePistol.

>> [laughter]

>> And there's your winner right there.

Axe Jaws coming up on top again.

>> The relevance was such that Brian was

even getting invited to do stuff that

had nothing to do with COD. Like his

feature on a dancing show, where his

impeccable moves were broadcasted. As a

matter of fact, he was so dedicated to

walking the line that he didn't even

dare to drop the N-bomb here.

>> No, I'm just I'm just saying like if I

were to actually say that to someone, to

a black dude, and [music] and with the

intent of trying to put them down or

belittle them, then that's that's up.

That's racist. That's [ __ ]

But like,

you know, I it but you but the other but

uh Nick, whatever,

they say that all the time.

>> This is a [music] certified hood

classic.

>> From 2014 to 2015, Blade's original

operation as a Call of Duty channel fell

to the wayside as he explored solo

streaming as a new career [music]

option. This wasn't like the modern

internet where the biggest names are all

streamers and every corny YouTuber has a

streaming channel.

>> [cough]

>> He was kind of an early adopter

broadcasting himself to stream.me where

he'd allow chat donations to decide if

he would take shots or not. Obviously,

the more wasted he was, the more money

he was making and the more entertained

the chat was. So, he was all for it.

Unfortunately, most of this footage was

never saved. So, a lot of these moments

are lost to time. What we do know is

that at some point Brian began

recognizing that this direct

relationship between his income and

substance use was becoming a problem.

With the amount of substances Blade has

been downing at this point, people who

still like him are praying he doesn't

get in some horrible accident. After

all, accidents do happen and when they

do, there's a reason people look for

experienced legal help. Just like

there's a reason why Morgan & Morgan is

America's largest injury law firm.

Morgan & Morgan has built their brand on

fighting for the people for 35 years.

With over 100 offices across the nation,

they've been able to recover over 30

billion dollars for their clients. And

that's not even the best part. Morgan &

Morgan is completely free unless they

win. They will only get paid if you get

paid. They're not just any other law

firm. They have over 1,000 lawyers ready

to ride into battle for you. If you've

been injured due to someone else's

actions or carelessness, you deserve

fair compensation. To see if you have a

claim, you can go to

forthepeople.com/turkeytom.

And a special thanks to Morgan & Morgan

for sponsoring today's video. Now, let's

get back into it. After one particularly

bad binge, which he blamed on someone

spiking his drink with a roofie, this

clip surfaced and was featured by

Keemstar.

>> What the Why am I Why am into my

>> [laughter]

>> I don't know why, but I'm

my

This sucks right now.

>> [snorts]

[laughter]

>> Even if there's a chance he's playing it

up here, he definitely was extremely

intoxicated at the very least, feeling

like he was off the deep end. His

dissatisfaction with his lifestyle was

made even more clear just a week later

in the video "Time for a Change".

>> I have a drinking problem. When I drink,

I drink in excess. And most of you guys

used to know me as the dude that stabbed

people in the knife and lately, over the

last year because I've been doing what's

called drunk streaming, I'm not that

anymore. I am known as a drunk and I'm

tired of the hangovers. When I drink, I

go ham. I don't have a couple drinks

[music] and chill. I have 20, 30. I

black out every time I drink and I

always thought that that was what

drinking is and apparently it's not.

Apparently that's a bad thing.

>> For all of Ryan's faults, he clearly

wasn't too stupid or too shameless to

admit to his problem. He clearly

realized that having a direct

relationship between his substance use

and income was unhealthy and wanted this

trend to come to an end. This is

especially clear with his framing,

pointing out that he used to be known

for his gaming skills while at this

point he was just the drunk guy who

everyone pointed and laughed at. At the

time, he was still holding out a lot of

hope and expressed exactly why things

were about to change.

>> See a lot of YouTubers that started at

the same time after me or whatever and

they've risen through the ranks and all

I've really been doing is just kicking

it, feeling got the Peter Pan syndrome.

Amongst my peers on YouTube, they have a

way better work work ethic, whereas me,

you know, my hangovers are lasting two

days. Every time I do it, there's some

post on something or the guys over at

PKA are, you know, saying, "Oh my god,

look what this dude did." I don't want

to be that guy.

>> It's hard to say how much money he was

making at this time, but given he wasn't

working his normal jobs anymore, it's

safe to say he made more money than your

average person. This makes it

particularly hard-hitting for him to say

that as a 32-year-old guy, he was still

living like a kid. All while his peers

moved on and actually did something with

their life. For some YouTubers in his

position, money or the lack thereof is

frequently cited as an excuse for them

not to get their life together. Whether

it be the reason they don't start eating

healthy and lose weight, or an excuse

for why they can't improve their

content. Meanwhile, Brian made no

compromise about what was actually at

fault for his life being the way it was,

his own decisions. He's honest about

this to the point where it's actually

hilarious.

>> I'm crazy when I'm drunk. I drop the

N-word when I'm drunk, and I'm not

racist at all. Any crazy concoction that

comes in my head, there's no filter and

[music] I just say it. I am super

actually aggressive, I guess you'd say.

Not really, but like super like, "Hey,

what's going on?

Do you squirt?"

>> I'm legitimately struggling to think of

a single other person in a similar

position to Brian that has had the balls

to be this transparent. Usually, people

only get to this point when they've been

relentlessly criticized [laughter]

online for a while and exposed a hundred

times. But here he is, volunteering this

information that makes him look

absolutely terrible. After offering up

this personal stuff to all of his

viewers to prove how genuine his intent

to improve as a human being was, even if

it meant humiliating himself, he ended

his rant with a promise.

>> This isn't a pity party. This is just my

relationship promise to you, the viewer.

Over the years, without you, I wouldn't

be able to do this job. The amount of

work ethic that is needed now, I haven't

been putting that forward.

>> As far as online statements go, Blade

confronting his alcoholism is one of the

best examples. At no point does he say

something about how his upbringing

messed him up or tell tales about how he

was wronged and suffered injustices or

how the stress in his life prevents him

from improving himself. He's pretty

clear that this is all his fault. All of

this makes it even more unfortunate

that, as you can tell by how much of the

video was left after this, Brian's

efforts didn't yield the intended

results. Over the course of the next 3

to 4 years, Brian engulfed himself

deeper and deeper in his addiction, all

captured on his streams, which were

suffering from diminishing returns as

far as viewership and money, with Brian

himself pointing out that he was losing

his audience. But, he was never

clear-minded enough to stop making a

fool of himself, to the point where

entire compilations of his drunk moments

were posted to YouTube.

>> Lady more trash talking lady A-cup Ally.

Hey, get bigger like eat some oatmeal or

something.

I would so marry you if you had some D

covers on your slim ass frame. I bet

your vagina's like yogurt.

>> WE WON!

WE WON!

>> HEY MOBS, WILL YOU die cuz I'll second

you?

You will you put that in the will, babe?

Cuz I'll second you with your cobweb

vagina.

Not you. Oh my god. Oh my god. I would

or

that girl can get the D.

>> Perhaps the peak of this behavior came

during his final stream on Twitch, when

he got a donation to put his finger up

his butt. He did it and was banned

shortly [music] after. And if his income

taking a nose dive thanks to the ban

wasn't bad enough, one event in 2018

would earn him significantly more

hatred. [music]

>> The Crispy incident.

>> This story actually begins 2 years

prior, when Blade and Keem hosted a fan

meet-up at a bar. One of Blade's fans,

Crispy, showed up and began professing

his love for Blade, taking it a step

further by proposing to his girlfriend

in front of them. Fast forward to a year

and a half later, Blade was having a New

Year's Eve party at his house with a ton

of streamers. Everyone was streaming on

Twitch, but Blade was banned, so he had

to stream from the basement. Also

present for this party was Crispy and

his wife. At one point, she wanders down

into the basement with Blade, who is

already very drunk. They did some shots

together and then engaged in some of the

most awkward flirting ever recorded.

Blade then started groping her and the

two shared a few kisses. In a turn of

events so unfortunate it should only

come from a sitcom writing room, Crispy

then walks downstairs, sees the two

making out and awkwardly shuffles away.

This is one of the things that made the

dumpster fire that was Brian's career go

from being something that his existing

community followed to a train wreck that

new viewers were tuning in to see. They

watched his streams, clipped the most

ridiculous moments, and then posted them

to YouTube and the livestream fail

subreddit, growing the detractor base

larger day by day. While sober Blade was

aware of this and would occasionally

start stints of sobriety, the alcoholic

demons always found a way to justify his

return to the bottle.

>> Uh I brought the air machine down. If

you guys want to throw down some

donations for some shots, we'll do some

responsibility shots.

But um I haven't drank anything. I'm

actually still sober.

We can have some drinks with like It's

been a couple weeks.

We can responsibly have some drinks. I'm

a grown man.

>> His delusions about his problem were so

strong that he wouldn't even wait for

donations before taking shots. He was

drinking completely unprompted. He was

getting fully naked on livestream,

giving the clippers all they wanted and

more.

>> I just don't want to make her come too

hard and [ __ ] the real estate. I don't

want to make her cream her panties so

hard that so much squirt like just like

engulfs Houston.

>> Do you think you're safe from Ashley

squirt?

Do you really think you're safe from

Ashley squirt, bro?

Do you not watch the weather channel?

>> Ripped through my jacket with a sick ass

click and went all that.

>> Oh I'll grab I'll grab the keys, bro.

>> Prior to this,

>> 2015 to 2018, it seemed like Blade was

actively trying to stave off his

downfall. But after the Crispy incident,

it was free fall speed. One of the

telltale signs that things were clearly

getting worse is that despite him coping

for years with the excuse that he was

never an aggressive drunk, there was now

footage that indicated the opposite. In

June of 2018, during a night out with

Keemstar, Brian got into a brief scuffle

with someone for no reason, which only

ended when Keem stepped in.

>> Stop, STOP, ENOUGH, ENOUGH, ENOUGH,

ENOUGH.

>> No longer were his blackout binges

confined to his bedroom. He was now

doing it on the street and in clubs,

which he was being booted from because

he was so wasted that he started falling

over. Something that also became

alarmingly common were instances of

Blade going completely unconscious while

the stream was still rolling, only

waking up hours later with his audience

being able to watch him come to his

hungover senses. At this point, Call of

Duty was already a distant memory. So,

Blade began looking for more accepting

communities who would put up with or

encourage his behavior. In the summer of

2018, he joined the CX Network, Ice

Poseidon's brand. Ice is a pioneer of

IRL streaming. His content was notorious

for being raunchy, and he was pretty

forgiving as far as who actually got to

be on his streams. Part of the appeal

was how unfiltered and uncensored

everything was. And several other people

in Ice's vicinity began streaming as

well, which meant that a lot of deranged

lunatics were signal boosted by

association. Just as one example, former

actor and relentless sex pest Andy Dick

joined the community, where he would get

drunk a lot, act a fool, and do Andy

Dick things. So, in a way, this

community was the perfect fit for Blade.

Sadly, the negative aura immediately led

to one of the most depressing fates a

man can find, being the victim of the

Norwood Reaper. This situation was

quickly noticed by the viewers who took

advantage of it in the best way

possible.

>> Want to take off your hat.

For 30 seconds silence.

>> Oh, look at the top of his head.

>> His stay at Ice Poseidon's house began

well enough with Brian catching Ice

allegedly doing blow in the bathroom

after he had been missing for an hour.

Soon after, while Blade didn't get

blackout drunk, he was inebriated to the

point where he just started pissing in

the middle of the street, something that

would also become a pattern. And this

brings us to perhaps the most

unfortunate pastime [music] of drunk

Blade, groping women completely

unannounced. The first notable instance

of it happened in a way where we can't

really see what he did. We can only hear

the reaction from the girl holding the

camera.

Very quickly, it seemed like Brian's

tenure at the content house was on

borrowed time, but that didn't prevent

him from being a part of an RV trip

where the entire thing was streamed.

During it, people really did their best

to get a rise out of him. Like when

fellow content creator Casey Content God

disturbed

>> the beast

>> during his slumber.

>> Stop. YOU'RE WITH ME, DUDE.

>> Bothering Brian became a motif for

Casey, who also poured chocolate syrup

on him while he slept. And these are

just a few among many, many things that

were done to get Brian to crash out,

including pouring water on him, slapping

him,

>> Do you ever look at someone and wonder

what is going on inside their head?

>> it's funny. I've been laughing [music]

the last hour that your mom died of

cancer. I am in this for your money and

your money only. That's all I care

about.

>> pretending to be a cop, arresting him,

and pouring hot water on him, followed

by knocking him over by speeding up the

RV. As you can clearly tell, this was a

community of people hell-bent on getting

as much content as possible. Safety and

general well-being were barely an

afterthought. It's only natural that

another thing began to manifest, the

physical side effects of extreme alcohol

consumption. By this point, he had

already developed bruises and sores

related to his binge drinking and

untreated diabetes. Viewers would point

out how awful his body looked and how

something needed to change, but their

desperate pleas fell on Blade's

liquor-clogged ears. Tons of clips were

posted where Blade interacted with other

people in the streamer house in very

disrespectful ways for no good reason.

>> That's Kpop's problem.

>> Hey Kpop.

Cop, [ __ ]

All right, well, you got you got to turn

it off.

Shut up, cop. I swear to god.

Hey, [clears throat] what's up with that

squirt there, rainbow?

>> In one clip that was very infamous at

the time, he almost fights one of Ice's

Discord moderators after they call him

out for pissing on someone's jacket. In

the clip, he's still wet with the chair

he's sitting on being soaked. On top of

his general unlikability, there were two

incidents almost back-to-back which

really pushed people over the edge.

First, he felt up a girl who was at the

streamer house with the excuse of

cracking her back. Then, he flung a dog

across the living room while drunk, also

on stream. This moment was posted to the

Livestream Fail subreddit where it

racked up over 10,000 upvotes and earned

comments from people expressing how sad

they were at the turn things had taken.

Grew up watching his Modern Warfare 2

videos as a kid and to have seen him

become such a waste of life over time.

Now, in March of 2019, there was a

genuine attempt to do an intervention on

Brian due to his problem. Keemstar, Ice

Poseidon, and comedian Andy Milonakis

attempted to talk him out of his

addiction, explaining that if he didn't

change, they would no longer be willing

to be near him in any context. Similar

to his time for a change video, Brian

showed remarkable self-reflection coming

from a guy who was giving himself brain

damage on the daily.

>> Blade, I've known you forever. You're my

homie. I love you.

>> Keem's been telling me to stop alcohol

for years.

>> For way too long and I've done more than

just tell you. I flew you out to my

house for what, 30, 45 days? You didn't

drink one drop, paid for all types of

health [ __ ] to get you fixed, room and

board, everything. And then the minute

you left my house, you went back.

>> While he never tried to defend his

actions here or act like he didn't have

a problem, his friend's best efforts

just weren't enough. If anything was

going to change, it had to be something

he himself wanted, and he couldn't find

the inner strength to turn it around. It

really becomes apparent how far gone he

was when you see him asking a woman if

she had ever been sexually assaulted.

Obviously, that question in and of

itself is kind of a weird thing to ask,

but it's his follow-up that really seals

his fate.

>> Have you ever

No.

You shouldn't have.

>> There's no defending this coming from

anyone, and in August of 2019, it was

used to open a video by commentary

YouTuber MoistCritical, where he called

out Blade for his rampant addiction,

animal abuse, and pattern of groping

women. But this clip itself isn't even

the main reason Brian became widely

known in mid-2019. One of his streams

showed something that was interpreted by

many people as Brian allegedly sexually

assaulting, if not full-on taking

advantage of an unconscious woman. This

girl is named Gucci's, and in the

stream, she was sleeping in the back of

the RV while Brian and the other guy

present, Bjorn, were still awake. Brian

asked Bjorn if he should go have sex

with her, to which he just kind of

shrugs. Brian then makes his way to the

back of the RV, but since the door to

the bedroom was open, viewers witnessed

some movement that made it look like

Brian wasn't just going to bed, but

instead taking advantage of a passed-out

girl. I'm going to refrain from saying

that Blade is definitively guilty here,

but with his history of randomly groping

women while drunk, him asking Bjorn if

he should have sex with Gucci's, along

with the questionable things he's

generally said about this subject,

>> right if they don't have an orgasm.

>> It's sexual

>> It's understandable why a lot of people

think something downright horrific

happened. To make matters worse, Discord

messages from Gucci's were discovered

where she says, "Blade pretty much

admitted to me he really abused me in

front of Bones, and Bones came to the

realization of everything." Meanwhile,

the morning after the incident, Gucci's

confronted Blade only for him and Bjorn

to deny that anything bad happened.

>> You didn't rape me, right?

>> I did not.

I would never do this.

>> Tommy, prove it.

>> I

How do I prove I didn't What do you

mean?

>> Prove it.

>> I'll do I'll do a lie detector test.

I'll do a [ __ ]

>> [music]

>> polygraph. I'll do

kit. Whatever.

>> But the audience wasn't exactly willing

to buy it, and as Charlie's video about

the subject reached 5 million views, the

Only Use Me Blade brand officially

transitioned from former Call of Duty

YouTuber turned belligerent alcoholic to

a man accused of one of the worst crimes

possible. Brian's last remaining

lifelines to normalcy were also being

severed as Keemstar, one of his last

remaining friends from back in the day,

finally had enough.

>> I got Blade to stop drinking three

times. Two of those times he was sober

for more than 30 days. I spent my own

time and money to help him. Each time he

went back to drinking. I disowned him

when he threw the dog months ago. I gave

up. Jesus take the wheel. Meanwhile,

Brian was still trying to save face as

best he could, which didn't go down that

well.

>> Well, I hope

that she did call the cops.

And then they can and take any DNA or

whatever from me.

>> They are doing that, I hope.

>> Good.

>> Despite still working with Bjorn, who

was associated with the Ice Poseidon

community, this incident is what led to

Brian not being accepted back into the

RV or Ice's streaming house in general.

Although, I'm sure all of the grief he

caused leading up to it contributed, and

this was just the straw that broke the

camel's back. Of course, he wasn't

taking it very well, even bringing up

that he was on shrooms during the event

as some kind of explanation.

>> Show me friends with somebody and plan

stuff and invest money with with people

to have a psycho woman convince you in a

day over something that was said when I

was out of my mind off of quarter ounce

of mushrooms.

>> He even made a thread on the Ice

Poseidon subreddit to try and clear his

name. A yo, so I voluntarily went to the

police, showed them multiple clips of

the situation to clear my name. I'm not

on RV. I'm with Bjorn heading to Kansas

City. No charges. Let's get back to

streams, not drama. As this attempt

proved equally fruitless, none other

than Chris Hansen of To Catch a Predator

got involved. He had been streaming on

YouTube at the time to launch his

personal investigations into the online

world, and obviously the news of a

former Call of Duty channel turned

belligerent drunk and accused assaulter

seemed like a pretty decent scoop. The

two got on stream together and Brian

gave his side of the story.

>> And then as a joke, I admit saying this

is all on stream, I was like, "Hey,

should I go back there and have sex with

her?"

I would It was clearly a joke. Bjorn

went along with the joke.

And I was just tired. All I wanted to do

was get some sleep. It's a big bed. If

you face from the RV looking at the bed,

Gucci's is on the left in a blanket. I

gather a blanket and I proceed to go to

sleep or at least attempt to go to

sleep.

>> [music]

>> Did you Did you

assault or

inappropriately touch

Gucci's, Jessica?

>> Absolutely not. Absolutely not. I did

not touch her in that bed at all.

>> Despite his best efforts after the fact

to try and fix this mess, it did nothing

to counter the fact that he had built

himself a history of not only playing

fast and loose with people's boundaries

on stream, but also making a pretty

condemning statement about it as

recently as 1 week prior to the Gucci's

incident.

>> a lot of love to give. You should be

honored that I would ever grope you. You

You be honored to get groped by me. You

should be honored to be groped by me.

You should send me Christmas cards,

Karen. She should be honored that I

would even find her sexy enough to

molest her. That's it.

>> It turns out that years of putting his

foot in his mouth were finally catching

up. Although I'd refrain from talking

about him of all people putting his feet

in his mouth given um

you know. Besides the Gucci's incident,

Brian and Chris Hansen also discussed a

couple of other hot topic issues such as

the moment where he asks a woman if she

had ever been assaulted.

>> Did you say whether you were drunk or

not something to the effect of have you

ever been

you should be something to the effect of

you seem

>> There there are clips of me saying that.

I I can't deny that. Yes.

>> And what does that say about you, Blade?

>> Uh says I have a sick sense of humor and

I should probably lay off the booze cuz

I would never say that sober or even

tipsy.

>> Him saying I should probably lay off the

booze was too little too late now that

Brian had already [ __ ] the bed. And I

mean literally. Introducing Diapergate.

Brian's addiction had destroyed his

bowels to the point that he was wearing

adult diapers daily. One day they must

have slipped his mind because he had a

little accident. Although I must admit

that it seems like he just pissed

himself this time. And and yeah, I'm I'm

saying this time because he did

straight-up poop his pants at one point.

Diapergate happened in the same month as

the Gucci's incident. This dude is

simply incapable of learning. The same

thing that caused him to emit his bodily

fluids here was also behind his YouTube

channel going down temporarily because

he went on one of his drunk slur

sessions after the community guidelines

had updated to punish that sort of

behavior. He returned to the Ice

Poseidon subreddit to address what

happened. Yeah, so my channel can't

stream or post for 1 week. Above is the

link for a backup channel I've had

forever. I don't know who I need to talk

to to get me on IP live, but that would

be cool if I was there. Bjorn and I are

about to I I know this sounds crazy, but

go outside and explore the city, lol.

See you on stream. If you thought the

Gucci's thing was the lowest Brian could

go, believe me, it gets much worse. In

the middle of September, he was

streaming his point of view in a bar and

accidentally showed himself stealing

some tip money from a bartender. It's

things like this that led to the

creation of Only Lose Me Leg, a parody

rap moniker under which several songs

were released. Little Bruises for an

example is a parody of the song Old Town

Road, and while I can't play the song

here for copyright reasons, I can read

some of the lyrics. I'll drink that

Jager till I'm dead, I'm Only Lose Me

Leg. I got holes in my leg, Jager in the

keg, balding on my scalp, figure it out.

Yeah, I'll grope your wife or I'll toss

your dog. This song even received a

music video featuring a very crude 3D

model of Blade. I can't show some of

this video because it has a shot of

Brian with both of his legs amputated,

which on one hand is obviously a pretty

cruel thing to make about someone, but

at the same time, it was also a

foreboding warning for what was to come.

In fact, it was so commonplace to mock

Brian for his deteriorating health that

he himself joined in singing along to

the song.

>> And

I'm

Only Lose Me Leg.

>> But playing into the joke wouldn't be

enough to stop his ship from smashing

into an iceberg. In a turnaround many

would describe as karmic debt, within

just a few days of Brian stealing from

the bartender, he got robbed and sent to

the hospital.

>> I then woke up in a hospital. I called

up my bank and uh there was like a

charge at a place that I've never been

to and so

uh and then there was uh multiple

attempts to use it um to try to like

get money advances from ATM, but they

obviously didn't have my PIN.

>> While we don't have any direct footage

related to what Brian is talking about

here, we do have footage of him waking

up. Not after being robbed, but instead

after being transformed into Homer

Simpson. It is a pretty fitting fate for

him given that he shares many qualities

with the character. The big gut, the

stupidity, the excessive consumption of

beer.

>> Homer drops his donut.

>> The comments at this time were calling

him Groper Simpson, as well as Homeless

Simpson. But to be honest, this whole

thing is kind of an insult to Homer, who

if nothing else, is still a loving

father.

The year 2019 also saw further physical

decay. After someone poured Jager on his

leg holes in December, they became even

more of a fixation for the public, as

people noticed just how bad these open

wounds were, especially considering they

were untreated. This is without even

mentioning the dental situation. Intense

tartar build-up on his teeth, which is

one of the most disgusting things I've

ever seen, so I'm going to censor it.

But if you're curious enough, it's out

there. For years at this point, people

had been begging Brian to go see a

doctor. An idea that he sometimes

floated around, but ultimately he just

forgot about it as he drank himself into

a stupor. But finally, he did allow

himself to be seen, where he was

diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. He

revealed at this time that his big toe

had decayed to the point where it

actively leaks liquid for no reason, and

he was struggling to remove his socks

due to the crusty build-up that

basically attached [music] the sock to

his toe.

>> Oh, Jesus.

I'm done.

>> No.

>> The rest of his foot wasn't looking much

better, either. And it seemed like the

only lose me legs prophecy was coming to

fruition. The detractor audience had a

morbid fascination with his health,

being parlayed into a trend. Chatters

would donate asking for someone else in

his orbit to lick his toe, and one of

them actually did it. This is like the

cheese touch on steroids. If you do

this, just remove everything in your

body below the nose and turn into

Robocop or something. This is your only

option.

>> Holy Christ, there's nothing left.

>> In February of 2020, Blade was staying

at a motel, intoxicated as per usual,

where he briefly engaged in a scuffle

with another streamer. Turns out it was

a pretty unfair fight, as it ended with

Brian hitting his head and falling on

his bed with his butt out. After this,

he passed out, prompting everyone else

in the room to start vandalizing his

entire body with a Sharpie. And their

first idea was to make him look like a

certain 1930s German leader. All of this

commotion was enough for the neighbors

to call in noise complaints, and the

motel's manager showed up only to find a

shirtless Blade with drawings all over

him. So, they got kicked out. While they

were on the move, Brian actually did

have a short stint of sobriety, and the

withdrawal symptoms were kicking in

almost immediately. You can literally

see his hands shaking aggressively even

when he's laying down. Later that month,

Brian also made the mistake of bringing

up something from his past, an arrest of

his from many years ago. It sent his

community of dedicated haters into a

sleuthing frenzy, [music] and of course,

they turned up with something to show

for it. In a thread titled Blade

snitched on everyone and claimed he only

knocked on a door, a Reddit user

attached Brian's testimony from after he

was arrested. In January 2003, I went to

the Verona Apartments. I was with five

other people. We went to the apartment

building with the intent of committing

an armed robbery and burglary against

the apartment occupants. We were hoping

to steal money and weed. I was told I

would receive some of the money and some

pot if I helped. I was told to keep the

outer security door unlatched once we

had been buzzed inside. I used an

envelope that I found inside the entry

to prevent the outer door from closing

and locking again. After everyone was

inside the building, I was told to go

knock on the door to one of the

apartments. Someone suggested I should

take a gun, go inside, and help with the

robbery. I said I could not do that.

Instead, I was told to knock on the

door, get out of the way, and then go

hold the elevator door open so everyone

got out quickly when we were done. A

short time later, the five people I was

with came running into the elevator. We

stole a cell phone and an Xbox from

occupants of the apartment. At the

ending here, we can see that Brian pled

guilty to one count of robbery and one

count of burglary. While the full

documents related to this report were

linked in one of the comments, the link

no longer works. But, there have been

some archive screenshots of it, showing

that Brian got just 21 days for his

sentence, while everyone else got

between 7 and 43 months in lockup. His

mug shots have also been shared online

confirming that this was definitely him

and not some other Brian Rosso.

>> I was at a little get-together and the

people that I went with didn't tell me,

but they decided to rob the house

[music] cuz they were drug dealers and

they have like a pound of weed and a

bunch of cash. And so fight broke out,

got in my car, left, and a couple days

later the SWAT team came [music] to my

house and

arrested me, arrested everyone I was

with.

>> But ultimately at the time this

information first got spread online,

none of it mattered one bit to Brian

himself as he was too busy drinking to

care. Around the same time, he spent a

few days at a ranch he was invited to

and of course he made himself at home.

>> I jerked off in your house. What do you

feel about that?

>> He also damaged one of their banisters

by destroying his streaming partner

Captain Content's guitar on it. So Brian

and his crew had to leave and go back to

the RV. Although that also didn't last

much longer because of some infighting.

Basically, Captain Content was with a

girl Brian was interested in. But

eventually Brian started getting

donations telling him to grope her on

stream. So she left and Captain Content

went with her deciding to stream solo.

This caused Brian to have a mini

meltdown over text. You know a group

stream will be way more lit than you

staring at a screen hoping someone

donates. Plus it's kind of last night of

RV. Let's give the people something to

watch. You never PayPal'd for gas, you

Jew. But you didn't roll, so that makes

sense. Guess this is goodbyes. You

really messed up this trip. Kind of sad

because back at TwitchCon, I thought you

were a good streamer. You are trash at

streaming and as a human. Maybe your

parents failed at raising you or you're

just destined to be a bad person. Stop

playing the victim card. People see

through it. Work on yourself for real

for real. You're not part of this

anymore, so screw it. Don't hit me up

for anything. You're canceled. Can't

think of a greater irony than only use

me blade telling someone to be a better

human. In response, Captain Content

said, "There's your 50 bucks, Brian. I

never rolled and I barely been making

100 a day past week when you're still

making around 600 every night.

>> Jewy Jew.

>> Sorry I didn't let you grope my friend.

The irony of Brian judging other people

didn't fall on deaf ears. As viewers

were quick to make montages highlighting

just how much his self-neglected cost

him. A Kiwi Farms user named OJ Simpson

carefully combed through all of Brian's

career to document his visible downfall

and the results are pretty shocking.

From 2010 to 2020, you can actually

witness the life escaping his body. Then

the RV trip came to an end in the most

depressing and nonsensical way possible.

>> I've I've become unpopular, dude.

>> You're what?

>> I've become unpopular.

>> Like Michelle Obama?

>> Like my videos the other day.

>> I think Blade actually came to his

senses for a bit after this, having a

brief realization regarding how terrible

his health was. So he checked himself

back into the hospital where he stayed

for a while. This was a pivotal moment

because it's around this time that

Becky, or simply Beck as she's usually

referred to, became a more central

figure in his streams, serving as a bit

of a spokesperson during his hiatus.

Beck is his girlfriend. She herself has

multiple kids who she wasn't living with

at the time, opting instead to become a

part of Blade's entourage. As sad as it

is for me to say, Brian has successfully

taken some people down with him, so to

speak, and Becky is one of them. The

last significant other Brian had before

Beck was Jill, and that relationship

ended after she complained about him

yelling slurs on stream. So he briefly

walked off, they broke up, and then he

walked back into his bedroom, fell over,

and hurt himself, and started yelling

the N-word as he bled out. In a somewhat

positive development, Brian's sobriety

following the hospital stay lasted a bit

longer, almost a full month. With his

wits about him, he made another

appearance on the PKA podcast. All of

the hosts have been keeping up with all

of Brian's behavior over the past few

years, and naturally they had a lot of

questions, especially regarding his

legs.

>> Images of your feet and legs have been

floating around forever, and that was

that's what kind of scared all of us.

We're like, oh [ __ ] this is real deal.

This is this is scary.

>> That scared that scared me, too, dude,

that's like

Uh if I would have let that get worse,

[music] it would have cut my [ __ ] off.

So, like that That was definitely a

wake-up. Um

>> But it didn't do it.

>> It was a wake-up call, but that was like

4 months ago, right?

>> I I know.

Yeah, I know.

>> Well, some of you wake up and then you

roll over and

>> Yeah, it sounds like my day-to-day, to

be honest with you.

>> You just [laughter] hit snooze on that

[ __ ]

>> We uh

um the at the doctor, he he basically

showed me how to clean it and to

disinfect it. And

now um there's still a scar, but there's

no hole. Like there's no opening,

there's no pus, there's no

>> According to Brian, the bacteria that

was occupying his foot hole was eating

through his flesh and into his bone by

the time he finally went to the doctor.

As much as it was ultimately Brian's

decision to follow up on his health

conditions, it needs to be said that

part of why he went sober for a while

during this period is the fact that the

pandemic had just been declared and he

was basically incapable of IRL

streaming. Still, it is commendable that

he was sober, no matter the reason. The

only problem is that the keyword of what

I just said is was, because this didn't

last long. As noted by a forum user who

had been keeping track of Blade's

now-deleted online activity, he spent

about a month sober and then started

smoking cigarettes a lot, which

contributed to his gaunt appearance and

further killed his appetite and

strengthened his weight loss. Then, he

started drinking again and once got into

a fight. Although here, he did quickly

realize that he was in the wrong.

>> That's what my tooth said when I still

want some of that.

>> Can we have some music?

>> Oh, [ __ ]

Okay, I'm sorry.

>> I think this incident happening was God

himself intervening on Brian's behalf,

as it inspired him to stop drinking

again for the next few months.

Unfortunately, the years of abuse on his

body were still catching up to him, as

he found himself right back in the

hospital after his leg began swelling up

for no apparent reason. But they were

able to deal with it and he was released

shortly after. His weight at this time

was a little over 200 lb, significantly

down from his peak, and once again, he

was limiting himself to cigarettes and

weed. So, some people hoped that he was

turning over a new leaf. He was even

looking into getting some new teeth

because after accidentally chipping his

tooth and seeking treatment for it, he

was informed that his dental issues

meant his upper row of teeth were

completely devastated. Sadly, this sober

arc only lasted a few months because by

October of 2020, Brian decided it was

time to once again return to RV

streaming along with a bunch of other

people, which of course meant he would

be back to drinking regularly. The

consequences for this decision were met

instantly. First, he was taken to task

for pissing everywhere and stinking up

the whole vehicle.

>> Pissed on the floor. Pissed on there.

>> Sorry, dude. He pissed over there.

Broke my ladder.

>> Then, for the first time, he found out

what it was like to be on the receiving

end of streaming, not live streaming, um

piss piss streaming. This was just one

of the many vandalizations of Sleepy

Blade. Along with being painted blue and

shaved bald, resulting in this

mesmerizing visage. This guy is turning

into a cryptid right before our eyes.

>> Oh my god, I need to make an iceberg

video on this immediately.

>> Somehow, his hygiene got even worse, and

although the archives of it are gone,

Brian pooping himself also became a

recurring issue. And on top of that, he

resisted the wishes of his streaming

buddies to shower and actually clean

himself, resulting in a clip of him

having to be dragged by his rotting

heels into the bathroom. It seems that

his temporary sobriety through a good

chunk of 2020 led to Brian's body

getting less accustomed to handling the

amounts of alcohol he drank before. So,

he was dealing with even more severe

consequences of drinking. It used to be

the case that when he passed out, simply

messing with him would be enough to wake

him up, and then he would attack you for

disturbing his slumber. Now, even when

his fellow streamers tased him, he

remained fast asleep. Of course, this

also meant that messing with him came

even easier. So, they taped some

McMuffins to his head, and then once

again, turned him into Hitler, which he

was pretty upset about.

>> You had a legendary stream today. You're

not going to hear

>> No, really, dude? We're going to

monetize my sandals?

>> But before he could completely bottom

out and reduce his life to smithereens,

something happened. He was banned from

YouTube. This time not a temporary

suspension or a strike, but actual

account termination. For some people,

this is expected, and I agree given

everything he had been up to on stream.

But this is actually more important than

that. This was the only positive legacy

he still had on the internet. His Call

of Duty commentary videos from a decade

prior were a distant memory, sure, but a

memory nonetheless. With all of them

completely gone, the search results for

his name were entirely replaced with

people documenting his downfall. Now, he

couldn't even go back to his old channel

if he wanted to. Although Blade played

with the idea of retiring for good, some

of his fellow streamers encouraged him

to resume his streams on a small

alternative platform called DLive. At

the time, however, this possibility was

pushed aside. And for 7 whole months

following the ban, Brian Resso was not

only sober, but also living a decent

life, at least compared to his past

standards. In December of 2020, he said

he had been sober since he left the RV.

But this time it didn't seem reticent or

health-related. This time, it felt like

purely the result of his choice. Two

months later, he made an Instagram post

to update the people who still followed

him, attaching a few pictures of him

with Beck. "Everyone wants an update.

It's been a constant thing that has been

actually annoying me. I'm not ignoring

my viewers. Hell, this is my personal

Insta, but a lot of you guys just want

to know my next move or what I'm doing

or what I'm going to do. I don't have

anything for you. I honestly don't know.

All I know is that I'm at peace being in

love with my soulmate. I didn't get her

flowers today, Valentine's Day. Not

because I forgot. It's just when I do

stuff like that, it's never in I'm sorry

flowers or because of a tradition. Every

single day with this woman is special,

and I'm in a very peaceful place. When I

lost my YouTube channel, I wasn't

devastated or mad. I have her, my rock,

my peace, my everything. So, to those

that are frustrated that I haven't given

you an update, I'm just cherishing every

single day with my soulmate, my woman,

my everything. This is my Valentine's

Day message to her, the only one I want

to grow up. That's your update. Even

when he reappeared on a stream in April

2021, he managed to stay away from any

booze and turned down any prospects of

taking part in another RV run. This

resolve held strong until May, but

sadly, things once again took a turn for

the worse in June. Bjorn, the same guy

who was there during the Gucci's

incident, got on a phone call with Brian

and the two started talking about a

return to the RV. Casey Content God

commenting on this development said, "I

think Blade only knows streaming. He got

fired from his delivery job at

Domino's." I can't personally confirm

that Brian was working at Domino's

during this hiatus, but given his sudden

interest in going back to streaming and

also given that he and Beck hadn't

broken up or anything, this is a pretty

likely theory. As far as when Brian was

eyeing the comeback, he had his sights

set on the 4th of July and said and

done, on the anniversary of the birth

United States of America, Brian made his

return and so did the booze. Initially,

the reintroduction of alcohol into his

life briefly had him at odds with Beck.

Kit Kat.

>> Tell me that again, please.

>> [ __ ] get me you some Kit Kats. Scram,

bring me some Kit Kats.

>> But, eventually she caved in and joined

him in the most depressing way possible.

>> Exactly, we all we all shot.

Can I give him a [ __ ] for the shots?

>> Just suck it a little bit.

Just suck it a little bit.

>> a BJ for the shots and stuff?

>> Yeah.

>> Within a month, he was already back to

regularly scheduled programming,

aimlessly prowling the streets and

getting into altercations with other

streamers. Unsurprisingly, around the

same time that he went back to his usual

routine, he and Becky broke up and she

announced herself to be single.

According to a Kiwi Farms user who had

been keeping track of the minor social

media updates related to Brian and

Becky, he apparently had tried to call

some other woman multiple times. She

found out about it and got mad, and

Brian's followers were basically rooting

for them to split since she was an

obstacle to them getting what they

wanted, which was Brian completely out

of his mind on alcohol. To summarize,

they did get what they wanted.

>> All you haters are going to be happy in

the morning because when Lit Romney

wakes up,

he's going to be single as

You guys are all getting the toe back.

>> And by the way, Lit Romney is the

nickname for the person Brian becomes

when he's extremely drunk. Brian wasn't

too worried about the breakup. As a

matter of fact, he wasn't even sure it

had actually happened.

>> I'm in a really weird predicament, dude,

cuz I think my girl left me, but like

she I'm in her house, so that's really

weird.

>> Now, completely bereft of anyone trying

to stop him, Brian went back to the RV

and immediately got into a fight with

one of his streaming partners. He then

got sprayed silver while he slept, was

once again shaved bald, transformed into

Hitler, got a wig glued to his head, had

a hot dog prepared on the side of his

massive midsection, got water poured on

him, and then after he got up, he

swallowed a nice big shot of piss. Just

1 year removed from the healthiest he

had been in recent history, and he was

already reaching historical lows. And

the lows keep coming. As 2021 rolled

into '22, Becky rejoined Brian. This

time, completely accepting that he was

going to continue to be Lit Romney. On

one hand, however degenerate this whole

situation is, it is ultimately these

people's choices to destroy themselves.

However, I should note that during this

specific period of early 2022, Becky had

brought her daughter with her to the RV,

which was kind of concerning given that

Brian invited people into it almost at

random. This culminated in Brian having

a couple of creepy ass gang members in

the vehicle aggressively asking Becky

for a threesome, which she politely

turned down.

>> You want me to stay away from you?

>> I'm not okay with it.

>> You want me to stay away from you?

>> Yeah. I I live here.

>> Are you pissed at me?

>> I'm not pissed at you.

>> Do you find me unattractive?

>> No, I don't find you unattractive.

>> You don't want to touch me?

>> No, I I'm not

>> You don't want to touch me? You believe

that?

>> guy.

>> Am I?

>> But I'm married.

>> don't want to touch me?

>> Regardless of how you feel about

anything else in this horrific story,

this is absolutely a terrible look and

should not be happening. Becky herself

eventually realized how bad it was and

tried to make a statement to excuse what

had gone down. I was not trying to [ __ ]

content, but this was extremely

uncomfortable and scary. And just to

clarify, no, my daughter was not there.

She was having a sleepover at her best

friend's house. I would never have been

out drinking and let some strangers

around otherwise. As I sobered up, I

realized the situation. I'll stress

right now that clearly Becky is claiming

that her daughter wasn't present at this

moment. But as she herself had

previously said, her daughter was indeed

frequenting the RV around the same time

this incident took place, which to me

seems like kind of a dangerous idea in

and of itself given how insane Blade is.

In keeping with the usual class act from

these guys, Becky gave Brian head on

stream. There really is no way to

sufficiently describe how much of a

freak show Blade's life turned into.

Meanwhile, his brain was literally

shutting down mid-sentence in what some

people speculated were micro-seizures.

>> Oh my god, you're Brian Rizzo. Oh, my

name is Brian Rizzo.

>> [screaming]

>> Hello.

>> [laughter]

>> If the side effects of his lifestyle

aren't clearly exemplified in his

neurological symptoms, the rest of his

body was decaying at an even faster

rate.

>> [laughter]

>> But [clears throat] for the time being,

it seems that Brian had struck a

balance, at least with Becky, as they

agreed that he would be given the hall

pass to flirt with women whenever he was

on live. Who wouldn't want to be with a

guy who just randomly pisses in your

house?

>> Blade, no, figure it out, bro. Go to the

bathroom, bro.

I'm sorry.

I'm peeing on the floor, dude. No, don't

piss on my foot, bro.

>> And he won't apologize for it, either.

He stands his ground.

>> Get up.

>> I peed. I peed.

>> Get up.

>> I peed.

>> Why did you pee?

>> By the way, just so you know, this

instance of Becky finding out that Brian

had peed himself in the bed concluded

with her sticking a banana up his butt.

As hard as it may be to believe, this is

actually the less bad alternative

because he can also, and has shown

himself capable of, taking an orange

diarrhea dump on your bed. He'll also

walk around all day in his stained

underwear, but at that point, who even

cares? To further signal how little he

was concerned for anyone's safety or

comfort when he was busy being Lit

Romney, he was having women over while

also being around aforementioned sex

pest Andy Dick. Fortunately, it doesn't

seem like anything bad actually happened

during this stream. However insane it is

to know that they collabed. What isn't

so funny is that Brian was dumb enough

to do a text-to-speech stream with his

elderly mother, and of course, the

people in the chat went as hard as

possible with the donations, even

bringing up her dead husband, Brian's

dad, with the explicit intent of

upsetting her. While most of 2022 was

pretty uneventful, as it came to an end,

one incident happened, the outcome of

which has gotten massive on YouTube. On

Beck's birthday, Blade was taking one of

his infamous drunken naps. And when she

started roughhousing with him to make

him wake up, he hurt her. It was a

pretty rude moment as he clearly had no

interest in doing anything besides being

passed out drunk on her birthday. So,

naturally, she got upset. As it quietly

rained outside and Beck manned the

stream while her enormous man-baby of a

boyfriend was dead to the world, this

clip took place.

>> Ass Mouth donated [music] $3. "Beck, you

are weird and [ __ ] up, but you live

with trauma and have a good soul. You

don't deserve the life you live. Redeem

yourself while you can, please, and go

to sleep."

>> To be honest, Spielberg could not

produce better cinema. To add to the

continued catastrophe that was the year

of 2022, he also crashed his RV into a

utility pole. I think it's worth noting

that this was on a rainy day with wet

roads right next to a slope. The RV

could have easily toppled over and

rolled downhill. Brian was honestly

lucky that nothing worse happened

because knowing how much he likes to be

drunk all day, he definitely wasn't in

any state to prevent an accident. And if

the beginning of 2023 is anything to go

by, I don't think Brian was in any state

to do anything at all.

>> I'll do a triple in a minute, dude. I

got you, dude.

Dude, I'm literally

>> In the unending wisdom of his

decomposing brain, Brian decided that

this was the best moment to revisit the

Gucci's incident in the classiest way

possible.

>> Call Gucci's.

>> What do you want to say, Gucci's?

>> All freaking out.

>> Later on, he throws a chair at Becky and

then slaps her in the face.

>> THAT'S THAT'S GOOD.

>> OW!

>> [screaming]

>> TRASHED. TRUTH IS BLATANT

>> OW!

>> AND IT got him temporarily banned on

Kick, although it was quickly reversed.

It didn't take long for another dying

brain moment from Brian as he spent

about 20 seconds in complete silence on

stream with a bra on his head breathing

heavily like season 5 Tony Soprano. In

mid-late April 2023, he found himself

riding a giant inflatable penis. And

then a few people vomited on his

decaying legs. It's as if every waking

moment in this guy's life is a nightmare

coming straight out of a 2000 shock

website. Another former boundary of

Brian's that he completely abandoned and

violated is his promise to never drive

under the influence as he streamed

himself getting absolutely slammed on

Jager asking Beck for more, being denied

his request, and then getting in his car

and driving through suburban

neighborhoods and calling all the

bystanders the N-word as he looked for

his fix. Only to stop his car randomly,

get out, and then collapse on the side

of the road.

>> I'm going to I'm going to call back. I'm

going to figure it out, dude.

I'm going to pee in our a of that.

Dude, I need help.

>> As I've been researching this video, I

don't even know how this is real. How

How did this happen? This is straight

out of a movie. Now, because Brian was

being extremely irresponsible by

endangering the lives of him and

everyone else on the road, Becky was

upset. So, she left him again. Blade

himself admitted that she was right for

ditching him, saying she had been far

too patient with him over the years.

Despite acknowledging that he was the

one who ruined it, he continued to get

drunk and call her up on stream, but she

could tell he was wasted, so she hung up

immediately. If that wasn't bad enough,

Brian's leg holes once again took a turn

for the worse and it sent him back to

the ER. Definitely a bit of a wake-up

call. I think we're at wake-up call

1,086 at this point, but still. At this

time, Beck became involved with a new

guy, Willie, someone who at the time had

his own history of substance abuse.

Brian found out and wasn't exactly

pleased. So, while his leg was on

death's door, he found it in himself to

not only continue drinking, but also

call his mom. On this call, he made

jokes

who was on life support from health

issues related to his substance use. I

can't think of a more sad juxtaposition.

A guy whose leg is literally turning

into dust due to his addiction has the

gall to mock someone else who is

currently in the hospital due to his

health issues. But, Willie is actually a

more central figure to this story in a

much darker way. During this period,

Brian managed to join a new streamer

house where a lot of other people, some

of whom were fans of his like Willie,

could visit and stay. As you can

imagine, the atmosphere of a place like

this was not the best. And Willie had

pre-existing conditions that made the

consumption of substances like alcohol

very dangerous for his health.

Unfortunately, no one was too concerned

about the possible risks. And while they

were streaming with Willie, he started

basically leaning backwards onto a

counter and going completely

unconscious. The footage is extremely

disturbing because as this man literally

died, the other people around him didn't

take it seriously and continued to play

around and tap him on his head until he

fell over completely knocked out and hit

his head on a trash can on the way down.

>> Instead of calling the paramedics, it

wasn't Blade, it was one of the other

guys, was like held his nose for a bit

and then also they started painting his

face. So they have like black and red

and white paint and they're slathering

it all over this guy's face. They're

writing juggalo. This is not a guy who's

just passed out. Like he's not

breathing.

>> Sometime after this, people did realize

that Willie was not just drunk. There

was something else wrong with him. And

an ambulance was called to take him

away. The blame for what happened was

quickly placed on Brian, given he was

seen as the head of the streamer house

and was himself an extreme substance

user. After staying in the hospital for

a bit, Willie sadly passed away at age

44. Brian confirmed this on live stream

and even tried to offer some

condolences.

>> Willie's no longer with us and it sucks

and

Beck's been a hot mess and I've been

trying to like,

you know,

>> [music]

>> I don't know what else I can do, but

>> But this reasonable and respectful

demeanor quickly disintegrated when

Brian got drunk and his tune radically

changed as he basically started joking

about Willie's death.

>> He don't breathe right.

>> Willie always wins don't need a $3.

>> Willie never won, dude.

>> Good news.

>> Good news.

>> It makes it really hard to have even a

shred of sympathy for Blade when he has

absolutely none towards others in the

same situation.

>> If there is an investigation by the

family, bring it. Dude got way too drunk

and had the other medical stuff along

with it and he

eventually died.

There's not more to the story than that.

>> Need a $3.

>> Even though it doesn't seem like Brian

directly had a hand in what led to

Willie's passing, he still looked

terrible. Keemstar had been following

everything happening with his former

friend and recorded a video talking

about Willie's death. In it, he points

out that IRL streaming exploiting

behavior for money needs to come to an

end before more people die. Brian took a

lot of offense to this texting Keem a

long angry rant. Bro, what is your

problem? What happened to you? I'm

disgusted to have ever helped you, you

talentless leech. You must be bored or

evil. You should have necked in the

womb. The screwed up thing is, you were

never my friend. It was an opportunity

for you to grow a YouTube channel

because besides determination, you're

nothing. That dumb kid at recess that

tries the hardest. I grew up knowing

kids like you, losers that think if they

try harder than the other kids, then

maybe they might make it. Here is my

statement. Willie died a month later

from complications from a ventilator. I

called the ambulance and stayed on the

line with operators until paramedics

came. I was sober and didn't give him

any booze or knew that he wasn't

supposed to drink cuz of medication he

was taking. There is no police

investigation. Anybody saying that is

giving misinformation. Last note, going

sober. I've done it before, you've

helped me before. Not making promises,

but it's time. Every negative thing

stems from that. I do appreciate you in

the past going out of your way to help

me out multiple times and knowing I'm

better than the booze. Reading stuff

like this really gives me whiplash

because on one hand, Blade will insult

Keemstar saying he's a leech and that

they were never friends. On the other,

he acknowledges that Keem helped him get

better in the past and thanks him for

it, which to me seems like something

only a friend would do for someone else.

I honestly think he was just frustrated

that the story was being reported on at

all and that he was being blamed for

Willie's death. So, he took out his

anger here. In other news, Brian himself

had become such an abomination at this

point that by simply approaching a car

full of people, he sent them into a

screaming fit without even saying a

word.

But in September 2023, he did do that

message some justice and actually went

sober for a bit, even making a comment

about how if you only tuned into his

stream to watch him die, you should go

somewhere else. Then, he got drunk and

threw a dog again.

>> I'm in love with one of YOUR VIEWERS,

WILLIAM.

>> I'M WILLIAM.

>> You You DIDN'T DO IT.

>> I DON'T KNOW what it is inside him that

propels him to abuse animals anytime

he's wasted around them, but whatever it

is, it's clearly a persistent issue and

anyone allowing him near their pets is

being irresponsible, to say the least.

Even the hate watchers were getting sick

of Brian. So they looked for pretty much

any opportunity to punish him that they

could find. One effective method found

was using the text-to-speech donation

feature on his streams whenever he was

in an Uber so that he would be banned

from the app. One standout includes,

"Hello Uber driver. This man Brian Resso

is a convicted child predator. He also

has weapons and he will cancel the fare

and charge back and grope you. You have

been properly warned. I'm not even

joking when I say this was just one of

the lighter ones. There were far worse

donations. To make matters even more

pathetic, Brian continued his tradition

of randomly calling back up to try and

talk to her despite her clearly wanting

nothing to do with him at this point.

When everyone else had turned their

backs on him, Brian returned to his mom

to save him once again. He had put

together a scheme. Due to her health

issues, she was going to get a

state-mandated live-in caregiver and

Brian would be named as that caregiver.

So not only would he not have to pay any

rent, he'd actually get a wage from the

state to do barely anything. Sadly for

him, this never came to be because his

mom wasn't willing to go along with this

fraud. There was also some controversy

involving Brian's mom accusing Becky of

stealing her fentanyl patches with Becky

responding and saying either Bjorn or

Brian did it. But as far as I know, this

issue was never properly resolved. As we

approach the most recent developments in

Blade's life, we can see the end game.

He has turned everyone else away until

only his mom will still put up with him.

And now he was working on losing her as

well. In a phone call they had, she said

she's not okay because as she puts it,

her son was taking his own life and she

was dying.

>> I'm very okay, Mom. How you doing?

>> Well, I'm not doing too hot.

>> Well, tell me about then, Mom.

I'm not drunk. I'm calling you when I'm

sober, so figure it out.

>> For a brief period, he was staying over

at one of his fans' house and he visibly

pissed on this guy's sheets. You can

literally see the before blade and after

blade images and it's not good. No good

deed towards only use me blade goes

unpunished. Brian spent his birthday and

Christmas alone and the end of his

journey was approaching fast. Everyone

he managed to stay with either kicked

him out or they were docs and harassed

until he left their home. Even when he

paid for hotels, he suffered the same

exact fate repeatedly. It was as if

there was nowhere left to go and there

wasn't. His time was up. On the 1st of

January 2024, his stream was interrupted

by the police. [music]

>> Hey Brian, can you come talk to us?

Lumberton Sheriff's Office. We want to

make sure you're okay.

>> Yeah, man.

>> Can we see your hands?

>> Anonymous donated $4. 400 years of

multi-king.

>> Hey Brian.

>> Yeah, man.

>> This clip went extremely viral on

Reddit. It was later revealed by one of

Brian's acquaintances that he was now in

the hospital and eventually the man

himself wrote an update. A lot of people

were worried about me. I'm good. I'm

healthy. The month of December was nuts.

Also not good for me. I'm in the process

of making my next move, but I know the

cliffhanger of police rushing my room is

content, but definitely not worth it to

me. The streams have been gloomy. I need

to work on being in a happier place.

Anyways, stay awesome people and blade

loves you. The alternate YouTube channel

he had been using to stream was

terminated which a troll named Wings007

claimed was his work. In a post he

claimed credit for the ban as well as

getting Brian thrown out of three hotels

and visited by the cops twice. On one

hand, Brian is a belligerent nuisance to

society and I'm not sure he deserves to

be anywhere other than a halfway house.

On the other, behavior like this is

definitely over the line. Watching

someone is one thing, but you should

never harass anyone online or actively

encourage their downfall through your

actions making phone calls to make their

life worse. Despite all these obstacles,

Brian figured it out and got back to

streaming within a month. This time with

a green screen to hide his actual

location which on one hand did work, but

at the same time it made the streams

visually a lot more surreal and

depressing. I think Casey was right when

he said Brian doesn't know anything but

streaming at this point. Despite the

fact it clearly makes his life worse, he

is unwilling to stop no matter the cost.

>> Has anything you've done made your life

better?

>> [music]

>> Fortunately for the time being he did

take a momentary step back to clean up.

This time around people were actually

scared that Brian might not return and

there would be no new lit Romney

content. He spent basically the whole

year of 2024 away from streaming and his

community successfully maintaining his

sobriety. And I would be really happy if

this is where the story ended. Would

being the operative word here. In

January 2025 a whole year after Brian

walked away, he made an Instagram post

highlighting a YouTube comment. Your

sobriety is ruining my life. This isn't

all about you. Think about all the

people you're affecting by not drinking.

In the caption Brian responded, I've

been extremely selfish to my fans and

viewers with me not drinking. I

apologize. Side note, it's true that

I've been sober for a year, but I'm not

annoying about it or preachy. I just

stopped drunk streaming cuz my community

and lifestyle made housing impossible if

I continued. Of course I get an itch to

get lit, but I'm good. This comment made

me giggle. Not only did he stop

drinking, but he actually had a good

mentality about it. Sadly, something

happened in late January that sent him

right back into the content mines. After

firing up a stream and getting drunk

again, someone asked him where his mom

was since he was staying at her

retirement home apartment and he simply

replied, "hospital and ward." Clearly he

was not in his right mind and put off by

not having his mom around. So when he

sobered up, he immediately clarified

that he wasn't planning to keep doing

it.

>> No, it's just a one-time thing. Back

uh back to normal. Like made a bunch of

money, but it's not a it's not a habit

or anything I'm planning on doing again,

so.

>> Well, we're all concerned for you and

we're hoping it's just a one-off thing.

>> Just a one-off thing.

>> To Blade's credit once again, he did

avoid drinking and streaming for quite

some time after this incident. But, at

the end of December, he relapsed. This

time, there was no situation of his mom

being in the hospital or anything

unusual happening to have triggered one

of his binges. As a matter of fact, his

streaming even bothered her.

>> Oh,

sorry. That's

That's my mom.

Mom Blade was not a fan of that.

>> Brian did try to stream around in the

retirement home a bit, but obviously the

staff and other people there weren't

enjoying it too much. So, he went back

to streaming outside, just walking

around. The chat had a lot of fun with

the text-to-speech messages during this

time. I'm not willing to read some of

these out loud, but we've got this one

right here and there's there's also this

one. Um, yeah. It's

It doesn't make you look good,

obviously. He then got way too drunk,

pissed in public in front of the cops,

and then got arrested. Because of the

fact he literally cannot leave a

building without getting arrested, he

went back to the retirement home and did

streams there, regardless of how much he

was going to disturb everyone around by

doing it. Suddenly, he did stop

streaming again for a bit, which made

some people think that his return to

booze instantly killed him. But, he made

a post to explain his absence. Not

streaming doesn't equal I'm dead. Got

rained out of IRL last night and

frankly, I didn't feel like drinking. I

know, poor Blade, but hey man, I'm a

human being. And even drinking once a

week hurts like hell. Game streams,

gaming streams, and wholesome streams

are clearly not supported, so why would

I go through the headache? I also quit

smoking, so my diabetes and blood

pressure are improved, but I'm also

annoyed by everything. If I do drunk

stream, cigs are required. Trolls will

take this post as whiny. I don't care.

I'm aware most people have legit

problems that they are dealing with.

That by comparison, I'm great. I really

don't understand this cope about not

smoking because of his diabetes when the

drinking is way more of an issue and he

doesn't even consider cutting that off

because streams without alcohol aren't

supported. He's basically admitting that

despite it clearly destroying him, he's

going to do whatever is supported by the

chat. It took no time at all for Brian

to get in trouble with his mom again,

who called the cops on him to get him to

stop streaming. But eventually she goes

to the hospital again and Brian is all

on his own, free to do as he pleases. In

a shocking, but not exactly surprising

turn of events, Brian admits he recently

had his toes amputated as they were in

too decrepit of a state to remain

attached to his body.

>> During my year off from drinking,

um

the I got an infection in my foot and

the

uh years of abuse on my body, I lost my

toes, dude. Still got my foot and uh not

proud of it, dude.

>> It's honestly terrifying to think that

he's done this to his own body all just

to barely make enough money to sustain

his habit and that it's all been

documented online as a chat of onlookers

saw it all go down in real time. This is

straight out of a Philip K. Dick novel

about the future and we are living in

it. As his march to total

self-destruction continued, he passed

out on stream and people called the cops

on him to do a wellness check.

>> Brian.

Hey, you good, man?

>> After a bit of Brian having free reign

to destroy himself while streaming, his

mom came back and the two went

head-to-head once more.

>> Stop this sending black cops.

>> You guys sending black cops on me if I

get too drunk?

>> Yeah.

>> All right. Love you, Mom.

>> Bye.

>> Please don't do that, though.

>> I don't know what kind of pull his mom

has that she can specifically call up

the black cops, but nevertheless, the

situation between them was uneasy and

the police were called again.

>> Brian, Kirkland Police. Are you okay?

>> It's going straight to voicemail.

>> Brian.

Kirkland Police.

Brian.

Brian.

Brian.

>> I am trying to sleep. Quit bothering me,

copper.

>> Couldn't figure out how to turn it off,

but

it took a while.

>> to us?

>> I've no idea.

>> Despite how inconvenient this was for

Brian, it did nothing to actually

prevent him from doing the same things

over and over again. It's particularly

ironic and terrible that he's being this

much of a nuisance to her when he's

supposed to be her caretaker at this

point. Just 1 week after the cops got

called, we have this clip of him waking

up after passing out and immediately

pouring himself another shot to start

his morning. After enough calls to the

police were made, people started calling

the paramedics on Brian to no avail.

>> All right. Brian, hey dude, we're going

to just help you up in your bed and

leave you on your way, all right?

>> All right.

>> You're good, dude.

>> Apparently not. That's why we're here.

So,

>> Thank you, dude.

>> move your feet

backwards towards your bed. All right,

Brian. Have a good night, dude.

>> Thanks, guys, dude.

>> I'm convinced this guy is going to drink

his way to the grave. In a Hail Mary

attempt to get rid of him during one of

his Jager runs using his mom's car, she

reported the car stolen, which led the

cops to show up to the liquor store,

confiscate the keys, and have him walk

home. I don't know how he managed to

escape a DUI charge here despite being

very clearly drunk, but despite his luck

with the law, his mother's patience had

truly worn thin. And when he made his

way back home, she refused to let him

inside.

>> What do you want me to do, Mom?

>> Go away.

Go to hell.

>> Hey, Trevor, come here, dude.

>> Go

away.

>> Sir.

>> Hey, Brian.

>> Hi, sir. I'm Officer Row, County Police.

>> How much have you had to drink tonight?

>> Never.

>> Never?

>> Never. County Police.

>> When his own mom closed her doors to

him, he went to the only place that

still took him in, not out of goodwill,

but because they have to, the hospital.

The next day when he tries to see his

mom again, she's simply not there. A bit

later, the two did interact again and

she's calmed down enough to let him back

inside as long as he doesn't get up to

his usual antics and stream everything.

After all, this was all that his mom was

to him now, a place to stay. Because he

himself says that he wants his mom to

die so he can move to Vegas.

>> Dude, I got to move to Vegas. Mama

Blaine needs to die so I can go to

Vegas. That sounds so bad. I'm sorry for

saying that. That sounds so bad, but

like

>> Amidst his ins and outs between his

mom's retirement home and other random

places, Brian coordinated himself with

some other streamers to stay at a hotel.

Only for him to get so drunk that he got

butt naked on stream and then got in a

fight with one of the other guys there

who squirted what looks like mayonnaise

on his head. It's also worth noting that

despite his toes already being

amputated, it seems that his foot is

still infected in some way because

there's just there's something nasty

going on there. I don't really want to

get into it, but it's nasty. It's bad.

This whole video is not good. The other

guys he was streaming with even sprayed

his foot with Lysol at one point. It

doesn't seem that it affected him too

much though as he could walk on that

foot just fine. So much so that in one

of his nightly wandering sessions, he

tried to pull a Chud the Builder and

call a random person the N-word only for

him to be the one that gets pepper

sprayed.

>> Yeah, we definitely got pepper sprayed,

chat.

>> Yeah, we got pepper sprayed.

A little bit.

>> Surprisingly, it wasn't these IRL

streaming antics that put him at some

serious legal risk, but the caretaker

scheme he was doing with his mom.

According to one of his acquaintances,

because of the felony on his record, he

legally couldn't be her caretaker or

receive money from the state. So, he was

having friends of his be his mom's

caretaker on paper while he was the one

who lived with her and took the money.

There are also messages that allegedly

came from Brian where he basically

admits to this and comments from Beck

where she says that she has nothing to

do with it. Regardless of the legality

or illegality of this whole situation,

Brian soon announced that he and his mom

will be moving out from the retirement

home. Despite him presenting this

decision as if they were on good terms,

the truth was exactly the opposite. In

his final streams from the home, they

share an extremely depressing moment

where she says that she wants to die

because of him.

>> How can I help?

>> I'm dying. I don't care. Took out my

morphine.

>> Why would you do that?

>> Because of you.

>> Because of me?

>> Because of you. Goodbye.

>> In response, he went for some fish

tacos. While she did end up in the

hospital, she thankfully hasn't passed

away as of me writing this video. Given

how sick she is and the fact that Brian

is not a very competent caretaker, I

can't say that their situation isn't

extremely concerning. Especially if they

move out of the retirement home and into

a house that isn't as well adapted to

whatever her needs are. However feeble

she is at this point, I honestly

wouldn't be surprised if Brian ends up

going before she does. With his feet in

the state that they are and how little

he's taken care of his health as of

late, there's simply no way he'll be

able to stream like this forever. He's

been drunk streaming for what? Over a

decade at this point. The fact that his

liver hasn't literally exploded is a

miracle itself. As it currently stands,

Brian and his mom are between houses,

but I doubt she's going to want him

around for much longer. I honestly

wouldn't be surprised if he just finds

himself homeless soon. If not going on

another RV run that sees him transform

into Homer. Sadly, this is the story of

only UseMeBlade, an average man who

managed to get a head start on his

online career pumping out content at a

time it was easy to make thousands of

dollars a month with minimal effort. He

was a part of one of YouTube's earliest

communities collaborating with some of

the most important figures of his time

and having fun while doing it. But over

the last 15 years, we've been able to

witness his descent into madness as

addiction grabbed him by the throat and

didn't let go. He watched all of his

peers pass him by moving on to other

projects and moving up in life. They

raised families, they bought houses, and

they made millions. All the while he's

thrown what little his chat donates to

him down the drain literally rotting his

body from the inside out. Despite all of

this, he's still middle-aged and

definitely has some time to turn it

around before his elder years and be a

somewhat productive member of society.

Even if a lot of the people he's hurt

along the way are probably never going
