As a recovered junkie, I very much appreciate your take on drug addicts needing help. Most people treat addicts like they are less than human and that makes everything worse.
I haven’t ever thought less if addicts but I do not like how they try to get everyone to feel sorry for them. You made the choice to do the drug. No one forced you. I am a recovering opioids user and I’ve always been a believer in taking responsibility for my bad choices and actions. People at the meetings don’t like hearing what I have to say because they are just there looking for pitty. F that. Congrats to you for getting clean. One day at a time. God bless you.
@@nickohler5707 they don’t try to get everyone to feel sorry for them. They made a mistake. We have all made mistakes. I feel bad for people who are struggling. No one is telling anyone else they have to feel bad. People don’t usually because drug addicts because they want to get high. They become addicts because of some underlying pain they are trying to escape. And we should all be able to relate to that in my opinion. When someone is down I feel bad for them. Unless they’re a murderer or rapist or something awful, I do not blame them for being addicted to drugs. You can judge them, like I judged by sister. It did a lot of good. She’s dead now. She’s ashes. She never hurt anyone. She got addicted to shit while being horrifically abused by a monstrous man. I was worried about people wanting sympathy. And she’s dead. So now I have sympathy. No one says that you have to.
Yes, and our "friends" start to resent us the second we start making any progress. It's a crabs in a barrel thing. I had to move to a different apartment, trying to keep my address a secret, TWICE when I started cleaning up and applying for a job, because my "friends" would constantly come to my place and try to get me back into using stuff. One actually climbed a fire ladder to my window in the middle of the night because I wasn't answering the phone and the apartment building door downstairs was locked.
As someone who has spent years watching Larry's content, both on UA-cam and on British TV, but who doesn't follow or pay attention to internet drama of any kind, it's disappointing to hear all this about him. I do wonder how he will respond, or if he will respond at all.
I just dont understand or 'level' for that matter, with people who function this way....feeling the need to foul mouth collegues/ peers online...seems like pointing one finger and having the rest of the hand pointing towards themselves...
Absolutely agree here, I've watched a fair bit of Larry thinking he was above this kind of behaviour, with his content being pretty decent, but his main flaw being his voice (cringe!). Why do content creators stoop to this level?
The stream that I called him out on his behavior against everyone was legendary. Glad you mentioned it. ❤ it was back in like 2016 or 2017. Last I saw, he was still up to his old ways.
Pat I love that your standing up to these people and their BS. You’ve brought me a lot of joy and entertainment over the years and when you finally retire from UA-cam I hope you can got out with a smile 😊
Just want to say. I found you from a highlander video from the spoony one. Years ago. I'm an adult with a mortgage now. I wanted to say, I'm glad a content creator from my childhood isn't a mal-adjusted weirdo. Best wishes
Myth: Pat Contri only got Big because of James Rolfe Fact: Despite James's love of cinema, Pat was the one who introduced James to that early Tom Hanks classic.
@@TheWyman55_ Why? James is terrible without a script, he should never go near any podcast. James sounds like a clueless 10 year old when he goes off script.
@dopecat4012 I'm one of the few that actually liked Rental Reviews. Sure he's bad without a script, but he knows what he's talking about without needing one
@@TheWyman55_ James has a surprisingly weak vocabulary when it's not written down, and he really loves (over) using the word "like". I don't except a UA-camr to sound like Shakespeare, but I also didn't except for AVGN to sound like he's borderline mentally disabled. I fault like I had a lobotomy after an episode of "James and Mike Play". Still a fan though. lol.
I love petty Pat! I appreciate that you can do this content by just stating facts and without making fun of the way someone speaks or other things I'm not allowed to say in a You Tube comment. Keep it classy Pat and Ian.
This is such a surprise to me. I follow Guru Larry on youtube and seemed like a level headed nice chap and didn't think he was the kind of person to do things like this. Real shame.
Same. I first learned of Larry from Ashens way back in the day, who is a nice dude, and always liked Larry since. It was one of those videos where they reviewed one of those old retro videogame board games. It’s a shame to see that he’s trying to stir up drama like this. I'd like to see his input though if he's willing to talk about it.
To be fair I only found you through your appearance on AVGN like 3 years after it happened, thats not even a knock against you, just a smart collaboration! Cross promotion is an effective growth strategy and its mutually beneficial for both creators.
to be entirely fair I don't think he deliberately seeks out obscure, 20 view videos and facebook posts and the like to hide his trash talking, he just spends 90% of his day looking for these things in general. I have seen LBJ dropping random obscure trivia, or claiming to have worked on, or know someone who has worked on, the most random shit you can think of, in every comment section and forum on the internet.
I found this channel because of the AVGN videos. But you earned my sub because I enjoy hearing Pat and Ians take on things in the retro community. I'll never understand why some people feel like someone earning subs due to a collab is somehow less legitimate?
I think a good term to describe the way Larry talks about you Pat would be "concern trolling". Which basically means that he lies and attacks your character under the guise that he's merely worried about you as a means of making him look like "the good guy" when instead his ulterior motive is much more dubious.
Thanks for letting us know, Pat. I had no idea he was like this after watching him for probably a decade. I don't do YT drama and you keep me in the loop on a lot of things (like the Tommy T stuff) I don't have time to find out about.
Guru Larry did a lot of that Encyclopedia Dramatica stuff?? Wow...just wow...that website is absolutely abhorrent. And him stealing your book with a 'digital link' is indefensible.
It's good you don't let it get to you pat, the way I was taught is you can walk in to a room of 10 people and 1 person for no reason will probably dislike you, not everyone is going to like you, but it seems you're doing a good job just doing you, that's all you can do man. Keep being you dude!
I can’t blame the guy. After the whole Diablo thing and all the “Pat hates real gamers” garbage, just about anyone thinks they can come at Pat. And all these chumps thought that, of all things, THE AMICO would be their opportunity to dunk on Pat. The. Amico. I mean, these dummies had it coming. Good on Pat and Ian. They deserve to savor this moment, petty or not.
Huh, I tend to avoid this sort of drama, but explains why I saw Larry jump at the chance to do an interview about your Opinions* (*see 'facts') over the Amico and it's legion of shills after one of your recent videos. Thought that was odd, but now I have context. Now back to my sheltered life of avoiding content creator drama, best of luck to you Pat! It's a mad mad world out there.
The AVGN episode is objectively in the top 1/3 of the funniest episodes. It was really well done and you did a great job. The hammer smash gets me every time.
Dude ever since that episode everytime I have an abundance of something I don't need in real life or video games I've saud "oh fuck yeah it's an X I'm making a coffee table out of them" that's about a decade now so far and it'll happen til I die.
Petty Pat might just be the newest sensation on this channel and I am here for it. Pat shows up with receipts and facts. This man will destroy every single “nice guy” fraud out there. 🔥
I reached out to ask Pat to contribute to my Twitch channel intro (which was a huge success and people love it!) and he said yes and sent me his video clips within hours. He is a class act and one of my favorite UA-camrs/Twitch streamers, and it sucks to hear that others don't feel the same way. Because in the grand scheme of things, I'm a nobody, and Pat graciously helped me out :)
There's an old Spanish saying that translates to something like "There's nothing a thief hates more than being called a thief." I'd say it's precisely because Larry was called out on his behaviour and he suffered consequences for it that he's projecting all this hate. Because how dare anyone hold him to account for what he is.
BBBBUUUURRRRRNNNNN! Dude, there is no coming back from this Larry. Stick to the cheeky online content and take an indefinite halitus from public appearances Larry, until all this blows over and when people no longer give a damn to care about what you may have to say.
Dude, you're not even being petty. I get that it's a bit of self-deprecating humor to frame these call-outs, and I'm here for it. But people who make these passive-aggressive and otherwise cowardly attacks online earn this. I'd rather it be made known so that I have more information to go on when choosing who to support. I also appreciate the even-handed and even jovial way in which you treat these issues. This one was absolutely hilarious. Obviously, I have no expectation that Larry will show up for this because if he had proof, he would already have shared it somewhere; nevertheless, the fact that you opened up this opportunity in such a public way demonstrates to me your integrity.
I'm also very appreciative when this kind of bad behavior is actually called out. I don't want my views going to people I consider to be very problematic.
I think the idea behind the segment name is that he's getting ahead of and owning of the comments that will inevitably be made about him being "petty" about this stuff, when yes, he is absolutely justified in calling it out.
13:43 Come on Pat, that Halloween special where you played a shite game and ate rancid old cookies was probably the most graphic self-harm I have ever seen on UA-cam...😂
Hi Larry! Here's the challenge, if you choose to accept : Come to SoCal Gaming Expo May 6-7 in Ontario, CA. I am putting up $5000 USD Pat Cash if you can provide incontrovertible (indisputable) evidence of the following claims you have made about me over the past 10 or so years. You can present your evidence during my panel that weekend and then it will decided to be truthful or not by the audience or a panel of judges (to be determined). A pass for the event would be provided. Larry Claims ---------------------- Larry Claim #1) Pat used Larry to gain subscribers and get bigger on UA-cam. Larry Claim #2) Pat is a user and abuser of narcotic drugs. Larry Claim #3) Pad had "afflictions" and he could be "pushed over the edge" due to public criticism/blowback due to Diablo Immortal, PewDiePie, etc. Larry Claim #4) UA-camr Roo from Clan of the Gray Wolf did most of the writing/work on the Ultimate Nintendo: Guide to the NES Library, book but Pat took the credit. Larry Claim #5) Pat has attempted to "blackball" or prevent other Nintendo books from being sold at conventions. ------------------------ There are other things you have said about me all over the internet, but I believe these are the ones that stood out the most. So Larry, if you simply show up, you'll receive bonus $220 Pat Cash! Then, for each of the five claims you provide indisputable evidence of, you will receive *$1000 cash each, up to $5000 total.* This would cover your flight (roundtrip direct flights from Heathrow to LA cost about $500-700), and the hotel could be covered (TBD). This would leave you with around $3800-4000 USD after your travel costs to spend on retro games at the convention, visit Disneyland, Universal Studios, or whatever else you choose to spend my money on. This is a very real offer. You have 9 weeks to get your passport and travel visa in order. What do you say, Larry? What do you have to lose? You've obviously been telling nothing but the truth about me, so this is free money! You know how to contact me.
I remember his claim that Roo was the one that actually wrote the book. What a bizarre claim,. like..... why would Roo put up with that? Why would he agree to it? How would Pat even force him to do that? and after all that, why would Roo still be friendly with Pat after the fact? Makes zero sense.
The fact that I saw both Pat and Wet Rice at MGC last year selling books pretty much debunks any claim I can think of that Pat would try to boycott other people from selling their books at conventions.
Pat if you're here Spoony is on a strong recovery. He recently did an interview with "curtis" from phantasmogoria after years of being in the shadows. Would be great to see a video with him to chat about where he's going now.
I remember when Screwattack were doing their 10th anniversary live stream. While people were congratulating them in the chat, Larry was there asking when they were going to thank him. When this was pointed out to Craig, he responded with "Really? What a jerk."
One thing that tends to get overlooked with the whole Larry/Dramatica connection is that he was a foundational figure in the Chris-chan "saga". Right from the early days he seemed to have a weird fixation on them, and was one of the first people to interview them on camera where they openly toyed with them for laughs. They also seemingly participated in digging up all the personal info they could find and shared it around to draw as much attention as possible. Now by all accounts CWC is a bizarre and indefensible person but it was obvious from very early on they were seriously mentally ill and seeing that sustained pile-on drive them increasingly unhinged was fucking gross. Larry's gleeful participation in the whole thing never sat right with me and was maybe the first sign he had a real vicious streak to his personality. I remember all the ED game reviewer stuff at the time it went down when Larry's "secret identities" were exposed right on ED itself. The idea that this one guy has been talking so much incredibly vicious shit, often about people he worked alongside, was jaw-dropping. Ofc in hindsight it all seems obvious, looking back you could clearly see any sections of these articles that mentioned Larry were often mildly critical or self-deprecating when they weren't just being openly positive about him. I remember once I noticed that style I started seeing it almost everywhere Larry was mentioned online that could be user-edited, funny that. Dude has been attempting to write his own history as far back as I've been aware of him.
please don't they/them christine. she's a trans woman. but jfc i didn't know larry played a part in that shit at all ?? kind of shocked but also not really, even based off of my limited experience with the dude
The whole ED thing is less surprising to me when I recently heard from someone else that he hangs out with some weird gamergate aligned people and/or is one himself. And in some replies on UA-cam, Larry brings up that now Pat is "being mean" to SmashJT and ReviewTechUSA.
@@octanyl apologies for misgendering there, i removed myself entirely from following that whole situation a long time ago, long before she transitioned and was unsure exactly what the current situation was. anyway i'm sorry, i should have checked. i looked it up again and you can find further details on larry's involvement on the "Chris-chan Discusses..." page of the cwcwiki but be warned it's pretty tough going. the interviews took place back in 2009, back when the organised trolling was really gaining momentum so he was involved very early on.
I must admit I found Pat from a James Rolfe video (the Ivan Iron Man Stewart one, which I loved Pat for defending) but the channel was already very well established from what I can remember.
The saddest thing is I unfortunately saw something like this coming a mile away. Larry, like you had said, had been a pretty public asshole for a long time, participating in a lot of stuff even outside of ED like participating in the Chris Chan trolling. I'm so sorry that it got to you at the end of the day, Pat.
love the Jingle... "Petty Pat has the clap" ddoododododooodo - in all honesty I love the show and will miss you guys mucho! Good luck and I look forward to the first return special!
Wow this is just crazy. Not only I'm looking forward to SoCal Retro Gaming Expo, but wonder how many are ready to reach for cameras or smartphones and be sure to catch incident on video if it happens. Also no matter what I've have too much respect for hard work and content that goes into CUPodcast.
Larry was always the guy who didn't seem to burn ANY bridges. For example, Larry remained friendly with Maddox, even after his fans abandoned him due to all the bs he did to Dick Masterson. Also, Larry was the only one to not say anything against Channel Awesome, even being the last person to remain on the website besides the Walkers and Brad Jones. But yeah, I came across Larry's anti-Pat comments on an Amico shill's video some time ago, the first time I saw him being confrontational (though not directly) towards another internet personality.
What did Maddox ever do to Dick? He didn't want to do a podcast with him as he no longer felt they were friends and Dick threw a temper tantrums about it and started harassment campaigns, which was grand coming from the guy who would complain about cancel culture. It speaks volumes that Dick now runs some right wing incel pandering podcast.
I remember Larry saying that he didn’t even know he was with Channel Awesome, let alone on the website. He found out after the Change the Channel situation/mass exodus.
This is really surreal to see, considering years ago, Larry would often leave super positive comments underneath videos (that's where I know him from at least), often of smaller UA-camrs, offering to collab or even loaning out consoles for videos. Sad to see him being so stubborn about this and apparently attacking others too over real petty reasons. For what it's worth, whilst I did hear of you for the first time through the AVGN videos, I first gave your videos a shot after your books got released and the Chameleon stuff blew up.
@@angahith Wow what the fuck? Guess he's bitter that the Vinesauce crew moved on from the clover? Considering Larry was also involved with ED. Jeez, good riddance.
That's a shame, I really like Larry's videos, but I suppose I don't know that much about him. I've exchanged a few comments with him here and there over the years and he always comes across as a nice guy, but again, I wasn't aware of his reputation or his involvement in ED. It's always disappointing when creators you like are at odds. Being completely honest, my opinion of you guys had previously been negative, probably owing substantially to the Diablo Immortal situation, but it was stupid and wrong of me to judge you without knowing anything about you. I've been listening to the podcast ever since Pat was involved in Karl Jobst's exposé of WATA and Heritage Auctions (I was also aware of Pat due to his collaborations with James Rolfe) and I'm happy to say that any bad impressions I had were completely wrong. You're people, complex, multifaceted people, and nobody should be defined by a single act or moment in time, especially when all of the information is third hand at best. Shamefully it's a trap I continue to fall into. I'll endeavour to do better.
Hi Pat! My wife and I met you at the retrogamecon in Syracuse NY, back in 2019. My wife spoke to you about the tool/program NES maker. Your a very good guy and I didn't want to bug you even though your a hugggggge UA-cam star. Have a good day. 🙂
After watching this, it makes a lot more sense why he was one of the only content creators to stick around when the Channel Awesome mass exodus occurred.
Man I had no idea Larry was like that, always thought his content was... odd. Also, even though he has more subscribers than Pat, pat has 50,000,000 more views than larry overall. What a questionable subscriber count lmao
Petty Pat is fantastic. As for the claim of him leeching off James Rolfe, I didn't discover Pat's stuff until YEARS after I saw the NWC video. Pat and Ian's success is entirely their own. And I don't even watch AVGN anymore!
I've watched both AVGN and Pat since very early days despite not bothering with subs back then. Pat Nes Punk and AVGN videos were often on the same UA-cam suggestions page long before any NWC video, or at least their older videos or clips were, I used to have to watch them on Screwattack at times. AVGN exploded much more in popularity but Pat was already well known in UA-cam retro gaming terms before their collaboration.
I wasn't much into UA-cam during the early days and therefore largely unaware of AVGN up until recent years. I found the CU Podcast independently and started watching it long before I watched any of James' stuff. Never even knew Pat was in an AVGN episode till a long time after I started watching the podcast. Pat may not be nearly as famous but his content nowadays is way better than what James has been doing.
As someone that used to personally know Larry (long enough to call him out on his racism and hear his lame excuse for it) I'm not shocked by his use of 1% of a truth and turning it into outright bullshit. He’s done it to everyone, me included. And now I know he wrote the encyclopedia dramatica entry I, and my former friend, am in. He won't except your bet, Pat. He's a shut-in who only leaves the house to appear in other people's videos to leech off their followers.
Hey, good for you Pat and you're a great wingman for him in this situation Ian! I know what it's like to be the subject of really shitty slander and rumors in large groups, while nowhere near the scope of yours. Still I can understand how shitty and annoying that can be to have ridiculously false information, especially from a single party, floating around and having them also play different to your face as shown in the email you provided of Larry trying to get on the Podcast. This is my first comment on your page, but I know you guys have faced a lot of controversy over the years and handled it well, despite the outside negativity. However, some of this bullshit is stuff I can directly relate to, especially false allegations of self harm, hard drug use, spreading my copyrighted material online without permission, and so forth. The proverbial mic drop you provided at the end with the $5,220 challenge to appear at So Cal is just golden, I laughed my ass off. I truly hope Larry appears and makes a complete fool of himself. Again, Good for you for standing up for yourself and confronting people like this with which you have an extremely long history that are being a pain in the ass solely for being a pain in the ass. Good luck at So Cal! Also, I'll be an early adopter of the N64 guidebook! My absolute favorite console! I do plan to pick up the NES and SNES books soon as well!
I didn't find out about you from James Rolfe. I got on this channel because of flea market madness. I used to go to the swap meet all the time and it was relatable.
I've followed both of you for years on UA-cam but somehow missed all of this madness until now! I recently discovered some extreme right-leaning comments on his Facebook which shocked me and made me think he was a bit of an odd ball, this video just confirms it!
The British retrogaming scene is shocking. It's full of middle aged men that have been arguing non-stop about the ZX Spectrum vs the Commodore 64 since 1983.
I never knew about any of this. For the years now, the only issue that I had with Larry was the fact that he looks like he hasn't showered in months. After seeing this and doing some research on it, I have to say. It's pretty damn disappointing that this is real. I mean... wtf?
PAT AND ION! just purchased my ticket for Saturday, hope to finally meet you guys in person!!! I have my two books,NES and SNES guide books ! Hope to get em signed by both of you!
25:56 What you're describing sounds more like a narcissistic trait than a borderline trait. People with BPD will agonize over failed relationships/friendships but it usually alternates between begging/apologizing/supplicating and anger/vilification. People with NPD are more likely to just go on the warpath if someone doesn't want to play their game.
I have to admit, and maybe this doesn't help your case, but I think I was one of those 2,000 or so people who subscribed to you after seeing your NWC collab with James lol
Honestly, I think he knows that, hence why he's so comfortable making this "challenge." I've noticed that, especially in drama situations, the offended party makes a huge bet, showing their confidence and "innocence" in the situation, while also knowing that the offender won't accept the challenge. SO... in a way its a type of flex. Though given how Pat seems, if Larry showed up, he'd honor the challenge and actually pay out, assuming Larry met the conditions of the challenge. (Unlike Flat Earthers >.>)
Lmao, what dafuq Larry!!! This was wild; as a follower of both you and Larry's work for years upon years, I'm glad you're defending yourself here and the challenge was hilarious, but... Hello You... Okay, now I feel dirty saying his catchphrase... ...I'm so sorry
Went to SoCal Retro Gaming Expo, saw other people selling their own books and things Larry claimed otherwise. Met Pay and Ian, very humble and friendly to everyone at the event. I had a wonderful time conversing with them even while I interrupted their lunch break. What you gotta say Larry?
Wow as a brit I wholeheartedly apologise for Larry. I've always seen his comments in the most obscure videos but never realised how much of a shit stirrer he was. The amount of energy he devotes to negativity is astounding.
Cold take since I'm late on this video, but the thing that continues to bum me out is how content creators in retro who I enjoy in a vacuum turn out to be d*ckheads to other creators. EDIT: I just found out he tried to strike an 8-Bit Eric video discussing your video because he claimed the thumbnail was a copyright violation. That's a major d*ck move. I don't understand why people act like this.
Technically, Larry's name is still on the Channel Awesome website. When the site imploded back in 2018, he intentionally left his name on there until he was the last one standing because no one believed that he was a part of Channel Awesome. His content is still being posted on that site to this date. Although to be fair, I don't think anyone visits that site anymore what with the rise of UA-cam and how much of a mess the site is now. Bottom line; Larry's name is still on there.
Hey Pat, the first time I saw you was on that NWC video. But what I actually liked the most was the Flea Market Madness. They reminded me of my time when I was going to flea markets with my grandparents. :)
For the first time in roughly 5 years, I am no longer subscribed to Larry's UA-cam channel. As Pat stated, Larry does have talent and, in my opinion, makes pretty good videos. No matter how interesting someone's videos are to me, I can not give my time and views to someone who is as bizarre as Larry seems to be.
As a recovered junkie, I very much appreciate your take on drug addicts needing help.

Same here, this was very dissapointing to hear.

I don't except a UA-camr to sound like Shakespeare, but I also didn't except for AVGN to sound like he's borderline mentally disabled. I fault like I had a lobotomy after an episode of "James and Mike Play". Still a fan though. lol.
I love petty Pat! I appreciate that you can do this content by just stating facts and without making fun of the way someone speaks or other things I'm not allowed to say in a You Tube comment. Keep it classy Pat and Ian.
I love Ian's down with the sickness joke, his subtle smile afterwords makes it even better

@@SkewtLilbttm omg I just realized this, thank you
Why does Larry look like “Old Biff” in Back to the Future?
“I just finished half the second coat now”
This is such a surprise to me. I follow Guru Larry on youtube and seemed like a level headed nice chap and didn't think he was the kind of person to do things like this. Real shame.
Same. I first learned of Larry from Ashens way back in the day, who is a nice dude, and always liked Larry since. It was one of those videos where they reviewed one of those old retro videogame board games. It’s a shame to see that he’s trying to stir up drama like this. I'd like to see his input though if he's willing to talk about it.
honestly i feel the same way this came as sucha massive shocker to me
As a fellow New Jerseyan, this is the most Jersey thing I've ever seen you do, and I approve.
What if I offered a free pork roll, egg, and cheese sandwich for showing up?
@@PatTheNESpunk i bet he calls it taylor ham, the heathen
Sadly as another person with the shared affliction of being from NJ, there is no effective treatment.
Taylor Ham
To be fair I only found you through your appearance on AVGN like 3 years after it happened, thats not even a knock against you, just a smart collaboration! Cross promotion is an effective growth strategy and its mutually beneficial for both creators.
Yup. Found him through avgn, years later I was in an NES mood and started watching
to be entirely fair I don't think he deliberately seeks out obscure, 20 view videos and facebook posts and the like to hide his trash talking, he just spends 90% of his day looking for these things in general. I have seen LBJ dropping random obscure trivia, or claiming to have worked on, or know someone who has worked on, the most random shit you can think of, in every comment section and forum on the internet.
While he might be a complete dick his videos are extremely informative and have a lot of facts that are not easily known.
I found this channel because of the AVGN videos. But you earned my sub because I enjoy hearing Pat and Ians take on things in the retro community. I'll never understand why some people feel like someone earning subs due to a collab is somehow less legitimate?
Petty Pat is my new favorite thing. I absolutely love it.
Ian going "Ooh wah ah ah ah" and Pat looking on confused might be my favorite moment of the whole podcast.
I think a good term to describe the way Larry talks about you Pat would be "concern trolling". Which basically means that he lies and attacks your character under the guise that he's merely worried about you as a means of making him look like "the good guy" when instead his ulterior motive is much more dubious.
The concept of "concern trolling" being a thing is Jewish in nature
@SpitDragon Noone is more glad that the old bitch is dead than (most of) the british, I think.
Yo Tectonic love your channel dude
Thanks for letting us know, Pat. I had no idea he was like this after watching him for probably a decade. I don't do YT drama and you keep me in the loop on a lot of things (like the Tommy T stuff) I don't have time to find out about.
Guru Larry did a lot of that Encyclopedia Dramatica stuff?? Wow...just wow...that website is absolutely abhorrent. And him stealing your book with a 'digital link' is indefensible.
It's good you don't let it get to you pat, the way I was taught is you can walk in to a room of 10 people and 1 person for no reason will probably dislike you, not everyone is going to like you, but it seems you're doing a good job just doing you, that's all you can do man. Keep being you dude!
Petty Pat is the hero we deserve.
Petty Pat is the hero with afflictions we deserve 😂
He truly is!!!
I can’t blame the guy. After the whole Diablo thing and all the “Pat hates real gamers” garbage, just about anyone thinks they can come at Pat. And all these chumps thought that, of all things, THE AMICO would be their opportunity to dunk on Pat. The. Amico. I mean, these dummies had it coming.
Good on Pat and Ian. They deserve to savor this moment, petty or not.
Huh, I tend to avoid this sort of drama, but explains why I saw Larry jump at the chance to do an interview about your Opinions* (*see 'facts') over the Amico and it's legion of shills after one of your recent videos. Thought that was odd, but now I have context.
Now back to my sheltered life of avoiding content creator drama, best of luck to you Pat! It's a mad mad world out there.
The AVGN episode is objectively in the top 1/3 of the funniest episodes. It was really well done and you did a great job. The hammer smash gets me every time.
Dude ever since that episode everytime I have an abundance of something I don't need in real life or video games I've saud "oh fuck yeah it's an X I'm making a coffee table out of them" that's about a decade now so far and it'll happen til I die.
Petty Pat might just be the newest sensation on this channel and I am here for it. Pat shows up with receipts and facts. This man will destroy every single “nice guy” fraud out there. 🔥
I mean, it’s kinda gangster pulling out 5 stacks 😂
I reached out to ask Pat to contribute to my Twitch channel intro (which was a huge success and people love it!) and he said yes and sent me his video clips within hours. He is a class act and one of my favorite UA-camrs/Twitch streamers, and it sucks to hear that others don't feel the same way. Because in the grand scheme of things, I'm a nobody, and Pat graciously helped me out :)
There's an old Spanish saying that translates to something like "There's nothing a thief hates more than being called a thief."
I'd say it's precisely because Larry was called out on his behaviour and he suffered consequences for it that he's projecting all this hate.
Because how dare anyone hold him to account for what he is.
BBBBUUUURRRRRNNNNN! Dude, there is no coming back from this Larry. Stick to the cheeky online content and take an indefinite halitus from public appearances Larry, until all this blows over and when people no longer give a damn to care about what you may have to say.
Can my band cover the Petty Pat theme? I legit wanna do it.
I want it to be Bohemian Rhapsody levels of complexity.
@@PatTheNESpunk I do VGM prog rock amigo. I reckon I can do that.
Pat and Ian are producing their greatest work right as the weekly podcast is ending. Petty Pat is their Abbey Road.
Dude, you're not even being petty. I get that it's a bit of self-deprecating humor to frame these call-outs, and I'm here for it. But people who make these passive-aggressive and otherwise cowardly attacks online earn this. I'd rather it be made known so that I have more information to go on when choosing who to support. I also appreciate the even-handed and even jovial way in which you treat these issues. This one was absolutely hilarious. Obviously, I have no expectation that Larry will show up for this because if he had proof, he would already have shared it somewhere; nevertheless, the fact that you opened up this opportunity in such a public way demonstrates to me your integrity.
I'm also very appreciative when this kind of bad behavior is actually called out. I don't want my views going to people I consider to be very problematic.
I think the idea behind the segment name is that he's getting ahead of and owning of the comments that will inevitably be made about him being "petty" about this stuff, when yes, he is absolutely justified in calling it out.
13:43 Come on Pat, that Halloween special where you played a shite game and ate rancid old cookies was probably the most graphic self-harm I have ever seen on UA-cam...😂
Hi Larry! Here's the challenge, if you choose to accept :
Come to SoCal Gaming Expo May 6-7 in Ontario, CA. I am putting up $5000 USD Pat Cash if you can provide incontrovertible (indisputable) evidence of the following claims you have made about me over the past 10 or so years. You can present your evidence during my panel that weekend and then it will decided to be truthful or not by the audience or a panel of judges (to be determined). A pass for the event would be provided.
Larry Claims
----------------------
Larry Claim #1) Pat used Larry to gain subscribers and get bigger on UA-cam.
Larry Claim #2) Pat is a user and abuser of narcotic drugs.
Larry Claim #3) Pad had "afflictions" and he could be "pushed over the edge" due to public criticism/blowback due to Diablo Immortal, PewDiePie, etc.
Larry Claim #4) UA-camr Roo from Clan of the Gray Wolf did most of the writing/work on the Ultimate Nintendo: Guide to the NES Library, book but Pat took the credit.
Larry Claim #5) Pat has attempted to "blackball" or prevent other Nintendo books from being sold at conventions.
------------------------
There are other things you have said about me all over the internet, but I believe these are the ones that stood out the most. So Larry, if you simply show up, you'll receive bonus $220 Pat Cash! Then, for each of the five claims you provide indisputable evidence of, you will receive *$1000 cash each, up to $5000 total.* This would cover your flight (roundtrip direct flights from Heathrow to LA cost about $500-700), and the hotel could be covered (TBD). This would leave you with around $3800-4000 USD after your travel costs to spend on retro games at the convention, visit Disneyland, Universal Studios, or whatever else you choose to spend my money on.
This is a very real offer. You have 9 weeks to get your passport and travel visa in order. What do you say, Larry? What do you have to lose? You've obviously been telling nothing but the truth about me, so this is free money! You know how to contact me.
This is fantastic😂
Fucking legendary
I hope Larry accepts.
what is this anime intro? with the dope music
@@Walczyk i think it's a standard youtube stream start thing you can use. I've seen other youtubers use it.
I remember his claim that Roo was the one that actually wrote the book. What a bizarre claim,. like..... why would Roo put up with that? Why would he agree to it? How would Pat even force him to do that? and after all that, why would Roo still be friendly with Pat after the fact? Makes zero sense.
The fact that I saw both Pat and Wet Rice at MGC last year selling books pretty much debunks any claim I can think of that Pat would try to boycott other people from selling their books at conventions.
"You see what happens, Larry? This is what happens. This is what happens, Larry!"
Larry has found a stranger in the Alps.
To this day, the NWC video is my all-time favourite AVGN video and probably my favourite video on UA-cam.
The petty pat series is gold. Keep doing your thing.
THATS WHATS UP 👍
Yes!
Pat if you're here Spoony is on a strong recovery. He recently did an interview with "curtis" from phantasmogoria after years of being in the shadows.
Would be great to see a video with him to chat about where he's going now.
I remember when Screwattack were doing their 10th anniversary live stream. While people were congratulating them in the chat, Larry was there asking when they were going to thank him. When this was pointed out to Craig, he responded with "Really? What a jerk."
Larry is a great content creator and deserves the respect.
@@digitaldiablo1653 Are you sure?
One thing that tends to get overlooked with the whole Larry/Dramatica connection is that he was a foundational figure in the Chris-chan "saga". Right from the early days he seemed to have a weird fixation on them, and was one of the first people to interview them on camera where they openly toyed with them for laughs. They also seemingly participated in digging up all the personal info they could find and shared it around to draw as much attention as possible. Now by all accounts CWC is a bizarre and indefensible person but it was obvious from very early on they were seriously mentally ill and seeing that sustained pile-on drive them increasingly unhinged was fucking gross. Larry's gleeful participation in the whole thing never sat right with me and was maybe the first sign he had a real vicious streak to his personality.
I remember all the ED game reviewer stuff at the time it went down when Larry's "secret identities" were exposed right on ED itself. The idea that this one guy has been talking so much incredibly vicious shit, often about people he worked alongside, was jaw-dropping. Ofc in hindsight it all seems obvious, looking back you could clearly see any sections of these articles that mentioned Larry were often mildly critical or self-deprecating when they weren't just being openly positive about him. I remember once I noticed that style I started seeing it almost everywhere Larry was mentioned online that could be user-edited, funny that. Dude has been attempting to write his own history as far back as I've been aware of him.
please don't they/them christine. she's a trans woman. but jfc i didn't know larry played a part in that shit at all ?? kind of shocked but also not really, even based off of my limited experience with the dude
The whole ED thing is less surprising to me when I recently heard from someone else that he hangs out with some weird gamergate aligned people and/or is one himself. And in some replies on UA-cam, Larry brings up that now Pat is "being mean" to SmashJT and ReviewTechUSA.
@@octanyl apologies for misgendering there, i removed myself entirely from following that whole situation a long time ago, long before she transitioned and was unsure exactly what the current situation was. anyway i'm sorry, i should have checked.
i looked it up again and you can find further details on larry's involvement on the "Chris-chan Discusses..." page of the cwcwiki but be warned it's pretty tough going. the interviews took place back in 2009, back when the organised trolling was really gaining momentum so he was involved very early on.
I can't believe you are defending Chris Chan.
*him.
Chris is a mentally ill *man*
I must admit I found Pat from a James Rolfe video (the Ivan Iron Man Stewart one, which I loved Pat for defending) but the channel was already very well established from what I can remember.
After watching the video now I just really want *"Oh dear, I have afflictions!"* on a t-shirt.
The saddest thing is I unfortunately saw something like this coming a mile away. Larry, like you had said, had been a pretty public asshole for a long time, participating in a lot of stuff even outside of ED like participating in the Chris Chan trolling. I'm so sorry that it got to you at the end of the day, Pat.
love the Jingle... "Petty Pat has the clap" ddoododododooodo - in all honesty I love the show and will miss you guys mucho! Good luck and I look forward to the first return special!
These past few months has been the best content on CUPodcast. Loving every second of it.
Patty Pat needs his own sitcom.
Wow this is just crazy. Not only I'm looking forward to SoCal Retro Gaming Expo, but wonder how many are ready to reach for cameras or smartphones and be sure to catch incident on video if it happens. Also no matter what I've have too much respect for hard work and content that goes into CUPodcast.
Larry was always the guy who didn't seem to burn ANY bridges. For example, Larry remained friendly with Maddox, even after his fans abandoned him due to all the bs he did to Dick Masterson. Also, Larry was the only one to not say anything against Channel Awesome, even being the last person to remain on the website besides the Walkers and Brad Jones. But yeah, I came across Larry's anti-Pat comments on an Amico shill's video some time ago, the first time I saw him being confrontational (though not directly) towards another internet personality.
I saw a video about the Channel Awesome dowfall, stating Larry's involvement was always just a joke.
Correct. He said that he only stayed at Channel Awesome to spite the Walker brothers but this pretty much reveals that he's just as bad as these two.
What did Maddox ever do to Dick? He didn't want to do a podcast with him as he no longer felt they were friends and Dick threw a temper tantrums about it and started harassment campaigns, which was grand coming from the guy who would complain about cancel culture.
It speaks volumes that Dick now runs some right wing incel pandering podcast.
I remember Larry saying that he didn’t even know he was with Channel Awesome, let alone on the website. He found out after the Change the Channel situation/mass exodus.
@@NeverMindMan Well, he did say that he only stayed there to spite the brothers.
This is really surreal to see, considering years ago, Larry would often leave super positive comments underneath videos (that's where I know him from at least), often of smaller UA-camrs, offering to collab or even loaning out consoles for videos. Sad to see him being so stubborn about this and apparently attacking others too over real petty reasons.
For what it's worth, whilst I did hear of you for the first time through the AVGN videos, I first gave your videos a shot after your books got released and the Chameleon stuff blew up.
Since I'm seeing you on here, Larry also seriously shit on the Vinesauce team, basically calling them talentless hacks, back in the day. It sucks.
@@angahith Wow what the fuck? Guess he's bitter that the Vinesauce crew moved on from the clover? Considering Larry was also involved with ED. Jeez, good riddance.
That's a shame, I really like Larry's videos, but I suppose I don't know that much about him. I've exchanged a few comments with him here and there over the years and he always comes across as a nice guy, but again, I wasn't aware of his reputation or his involvement in ED. It's always disappointing when creators you like are at odds. Being completely honest, my opinion of you guys had previously been negative, probably owing substantially to the Diablo Immortal situation, but it was stupid and wrong of me to judge you without knowing anything about you. I've been listening to the podcast ever since Pat was involved in Karl Jobst's exposé of WATA and Heritage Auctions (I was also aware of Pat due to his collaborations with James Rolfe) and I'm happy to say that any bad impressions I had were completely wrong. You're people, complex, multifaceted people, and nobody should be defined by a single act or moment in time, especially when all of the information is third hand at best. Shamefully it's a trap I continue to fall into. I'll endeavour to do better.
Top tier comment
@@elemenoQ I've never seen any evidence of Pat's claims. And since Voltar called Pat out on it too , I'm even more skeptical.
Hi Pat! My wife and I met you at the retrogamecon in Syracuse NY, back in 2019. My wife spoke to you about the tool/program NES maker. Your a very good guy and I didn't want to bug you even though your a hugggggge UA-cam star. Have a good day. 🙂
It always gives me a chuckle every time pat does math or mentions money that he always referres to it as "Pat math" or "Pat money".
Good for you and Ian for standing up for yourself and others!
After watching this, it makes a lot more sense why he was one of the only content creators to stick around when the Channel Awesome mass exodus occurred.
Oh god that's true. Shit
That challenge at the end reminds me of an old school wrestling challenge.... I kept waiting for Jim Cornette or Jimmy Hart to come out!
Looking forward to Larry accepting or cowering away from the challenge.
Remember, he has to there In. Person!!!
Definitely gonna cower. Dude's a fucking wuss and turns into a puddle when called out.
Won’t show up and will continue to bash Pat on other video comments section.
Anyone skimming the comments for the guru larry response
Man I had no idea Larry was like that, always thought his content was... odd.
Also, even though he has more subscribers than Pat, pat has 50,000,000 more views than larry overall.
What a questionable subscriber count lmao
Petty Pat is fantastic. As for the claim of him leeching off James Rolfe, I didn't discover Pat's stuff until YEARS after I saw the NWC video. Pat and Ian's success is entirely their own. And I don't even watch AVGN anymore!
Same here! Couldn't say it better myself.
I've watched both AVGN and Pat since very early days despite not bothering with subs back then. Pat Nes Punk and AVGN videos were often on the same UA-cam suggestions page long before any NWC video, or at least their older videos or clips were, I used to have to watch them on Screwattack at times. AVGN exploded much more in popularity but Pat was already well known in UA-cam retro gaming terms before their collaboration.
I wasn't much into UA-cam during the early days and therefore largely unaware of AVGN up until recent years. I found the CU Podcast independently and started watching it long before I watched any of James' stuff. Never even knew Pat was in an AVGN episode till a long time after I started watching the podcast. Pat may not be nearly as famous but his content nowadays is way better than what James has been doing.
12:44 I want this Ian reaction to become a meme all over the internet. 😭
As someone that used to personally know Larry (long enough to call him out on his racism and hear his lame excuse for it) I'm not shocked by his use of 1% of a truth and turning it into outright bullshit. He’s done it to everyone, me included. And now I know he wrote the encyclopedia dramatica entry I, and my former friend, am in. He won't except your bet, Pat. He's a shut-in who only leaves the house to appear in other people's videos to leech off their followers.
Hey, good for you Pat and you're a great wingman for him in this situation Ian!
I know what it's like to be the subject of really shitty slander and rumors in large groups, while nowhere near the scope of yours.
Still I can understand how shitty and annoying that can be to have ridiculously false information, especially from a single party, floating around and having them also play different to your face as shown in the email you provided of Larry trying to get on the Podcast.
This is my first comment on your page, but I know you guys have faced a lot of controversy over the years and handled it well, despite the outside negativity.
However, some of this bullshit is stuff I can directly relate to, especially false allegations of self harm, hard drug use, spreading my copyrighted material online without permission, and so forth.
The proverbial mic drop you provided at the end with the $5,220 challenge to appear at So Cal is just golden, I laughed my ass off. I truly hope Larry appears and makes a complete fool of himself.
Again, Good for you for standing up for yourself and confronting people like this with which you have an extremely long history that are being a pain in the ass solely for being a pain in the ass.
Good luck at So Cal! Also, I'll be an early adopter of the N64 guidebook! My absolute favorite console! I do plan to pick up the NES and SNES books soon as well!
I didn't find out about you from James Rolfe. I got on this channel because of flea market madness. I used to go to the swap meet all the time and it was relatable.
I've followed both of you for years on UA-cam but somehow missed all of this madness until now! I recently discovered some extreme right-leaning comments on his Facebook which shocked me and made me think he was a bit of an odd ball, this video just confirms it!
Had no idea Larry has been so unscrupulous. He generally makes good content and seems like a nice guy, but that's probably just his facade
I just want to assure you that anyone who has ever typed up ANYTHING for Encyclopedia Dramatica is indeed a "r/Nice Guy"....
Channel Awesome. Enough Said.

Larry is going fact hunting for $5,220.

Do you see what happens, Larry?! Do you see what happens…
When you find a stranger in the alps?
I never knew about any of this. For the years now, the only issue that I had with Larry was the fact that he looks like he hasn't showered in months. After seeing this and doing some research on it, I have to say. It's pretty damn disappointing that this is real. I mean... wtf?
PAT AND ION! just purchased my ticket for Saturday, hope to finally meet you guys in person!!! I have my two books,NES and SNES guide books ! Hope to get em signed by both of you!
Huh. This is an episode I didn’t expect to see…
25:56 What you're describing sounds more like a narcissistic trait than a borderline trait. People with BPD will agonize over failed relationships/friendships but it usually alternates between begging/apologizing/supplicating and anger/vilification. People with NPD are more likely to just go on the warpath if someone doesn't want to play their game.
Man, I love you guys. I really do, you guys are the most underrated duo in the entire industry.
This is the only video on UA-cam that Guru Larry hasn't made a comment on!
I have to admit, and maybe this doesn't help your case, but I think I was one of those 2,000 or so people who subscribed to you after seeing your NWC collab with James lol
I really like the "Petty Pat clap back" song 🤣
Pat,don't expect Larry to show up Bless you guys for standing up.
Honestly, I think he knows that, hence why he's so comfortable making this "challenge." I've noticed that, especially in drama situations, the offended party makes a huge bet, showing their confidence and "innocence" in the situation, while also knowing that the offender won't accept the challenge. SO... in a way its a type of flex. Though given how Pat seems, if Larry showed up, he'd honor the challenge and actually pay out, assuming Larry met the conditions of the challenge. (Unlike Flat Earthers >.>)
Lmao, what dafuq Larry!!! This was wild; as a follower of both you and Larry's work for years upon years, I'm glad you're defending yourself here and the challenge was hilarious, but... Hello You... Okay, now I feel dirty saying his catchphrase...
...I'm so sorry
Went to SoCal Retro Gaming Expo, saw other people selling their own books and things Larry claimed otherwise. Met Pay and Ian, very humble and friendly to everyone at the event. I had a wonderful time conversing with them even while I interrupted their lunch break.
What you gotta say Larry?
Wow as a brit I wholeheartedly apologise for Larry. I've always seen his comments in the most obscure videos but never realised how much of a shit stirrer he was.
The amount of energy he devotes to negativity is astounding.
Pat can call me Larry for five grand
Cold take since I'm late on this video, but the thing that continues to bum me out is how content creators in retro who I enjoy in a vacuum turn out to be d*ckheads to other creators. EDIT: I just found out he tried to strike an 8-Bit Eric video discussing your video because he claimed the thumbnail was a copyright violation. That's a major d*ck move. I don't understand why people act like this.
Technically, Larry's name is still on the Channel Awesome website. When the site imploded back in 2018, he intentionally left his name on there until he was the last one standing because no one believed that he was a part of Channel Awesome. His content is still being posted on that site to this date. Although to be fair, I don't think anyone visits that site anymore what with the rise of UA-cam and how much of a mess the site is now. Bottom line; Larry's name is still on there.
Looks like the Fact Hunter has become the Fact Hunted.
Hey Pat, the first time I saw you was on that NWC video. But what I actually liked the most was the Flea Market Madness.
They reminded me of my time when I was going to flea markets with my grandparents. :)
Damn, this sucks. I kinda liked Larry's content, but I can't respect Larry after hearing this.
Absolutely adored the Videogame Years and Retroware TV ♥️
For the first time in roughly 5 years, I am no longer subscribed to Larry's UA-cam channel. As Pat stated, Larry does have talent and, in my opinion, makes pretty good videos. No matter how interesting someone's videos are to me, I can not give my time and views to someone who is as bizarre as Larry seems to be.
Man, I miss Roo and 16-bit gems.
