As someone who has played semi pro poker out of a port town on and off since I was 18 I can say that fishing boat is a terrible idea for a gambler. Most of the people who I played against were people who came off of boats and were playing poker with their crew mates for months on end. If you want to help a gambler put them to work in a factory. Too exhausting to gamble regularly I've found
Working on a ship for a month or more is also frequent in France, and I think in the UK. It is another kind of rehab, with the same purpose: being isolated from your addiction(s), and learning to live and interact with other humans.
Fame and attention is one hell of a drug, and it’s a drug you might not even realize you’re taking. These people doing whatever they can to get peoples attention is really no different from junkies doing whatever they can to get their next hit.

the fishing boat idea is actually amazing. my uncle had terrible problems w meth and when he finally moved away to WV, he got a job on an oil rig. he’s been sober ever since and started a family out there. it sounds extreme, but people in extreme circumstances need extreme change.
And ona tig you don't get "bored", not really. You work hard. You have to stay sober because it is dangerous. And a lot of other guys there are there for the same thing, so they're understanding as well
I worked with a guy like that. Any time he won he would smile hugely and show you his phone gambling game…… you can see the wheels turning in his head and this was like once or twice in three years. But most the time he’s trying to sell you his medication and other goods of his. I actually bought a Saturday night special from him😊. He wouldn’t have bridge toll all the time so he would borrow from whoever he was working with at the time and eating bologna sandwiches for lunch. Dude was like 60 also.
@@cardzbmurkin08 I'm confused why you're insulting them? They're right, gambling addicts are unable to focus on the bigger picture of how much money they're losing and get high off the small wins even when they're draining all their money. If that wasn't the case, gambling addiction wouldn't be a thing.
@@cardzbmurkin08 It's comically easy to be a better person than a gambling addict. Sympathy is for selfish people who don't actually want to help others. If you actually cared you'd be honest with them and tell them they're being idiots. All your sympathy does is encourage terrible behavior and make you think you're a good person, when in reality you're contributing to their suffering. Sympathy has always been worthless. There's never a time in history where sympathy helped anyone. It doesn't happen. It's a way for lazy and selfish people to boast about how good of a person they are, nothing more. Empathy can inspire action. Sympathy feeds the ego of those who never act.
so my husband gambles, he’s only ever spent $25 of our own money though. he signed up when they had a free $50 promo and he’s won $1500+ in the last week, we’ve only cashed out maybe a quarter of that though. we have consistent money coming in and we’re not betting our real money, only our profit.
My cousin was an addict for over 20 years. Has had nearly 10 children, none of which he raised, been to rehab 6 times and failed after each stint and has nearly OD’d a couple times. Nothing worked to get him clean. A family member inherited a farm in the middle of nowhere and I mean like a 3 hour drive to any sort of civilization besides other farms. They sent him there and told him that if he ever comes back before he’s clean, they’re throwing him in jail. He’s been there for 2 years now and is clean, has a job as the farm manager and is getting his life back on track for the first time in 2 decades. Your idea is this guys best bet!
working with animals usually gets people to see the bigger picture besides drugs and booze. but if you're supid enough to have 10 kids then yeah you're life is over.
@@MrWolfSnackanimals was my sign that I needed to stop what I was doing. I was selling almost anything but pills and H(anything that gets fent in it, I didn't wanna get a bad batch, so I wouldnt help em find it. I tried to care as much as I could.)had 1 kid cuz my baby momma lied constantly and said she couldnt get pregnant, she was my first girl so I didnt know any better, I was just happy to get sum😂😂 Eventually after selling sum BAD STUFF for like 3 months I started to realize I was losing myself when- Omw to sell sun weed... tried to pet a homeless dog but he backed up... My whole life- I woulda sat down, got him some food and water, and spent some time with the dog. But I was wrapped up making money, dog didnt want pet, so I kept walking.... 99% of people would give a fuuuuuuu*k about petting a homeless dog. But that was my sign that I was not myself anymore. That girl really messed me up, i just quit caring, it's all downhill from here....😂 I wasnt great but at least i was honest everytime. This mf lying, stealing, cheating, using old men for money, and still gets an attitude of I dont wanna buy lashes and nails. And ima young man so i got this war in my mind, being broke, but trying to provide, hating this woman, but shes carrying my baby so I gotta try my best to keep her happy and make it work, get over my thoughts and feelings for the family. Just keep providing what i can. Life is helllllllll I tell you. First gf, gave me a forever disease and lied to get a baby, while also sucking old men for extra money. Men, dont let your girl hang out with her friends😂😂 you're not bein abusive, you're keeping your family together. She will go over there and party, and smash somebody, and all of her friends will have her side, not yours. That real life, but everyone will tell you that youre insecure😂😂 I guess it's easier to call men abusive and insecure than it is to call women wh0res😂 its both. This is real life we talkin, not fantasy land😂
Wow women don't like him? I wonder why... He's definitely NOT an insane fella who films himself making the lives of other people around him hell. He doesn't do that no haha
You cannot sit at the back of the public bus, fanning $200 and call it a ‘little 2 piece’ ‘nothing too much’ - that is clearly alot of money to you 🤦🏻♂️🤣
@@GirtonOramsay Lmao I needed you with me. I told myself I wasn't gambling and set aside 800 dollars, I lost it all lmao. Thankfully I set it aside to lose and I have money in my savings. THIS dude is fighting demons
People who "hit" at the casino don't think of all the money they have put in. They are like "i won $84!" But they don't think of the $2000 they lost to get there.
My father had a client who, along with his wife, were “recreational” gamblers. My father lectured him repeatedly they needed to stop, but they considered it their entertainment. One year they lost $110,000 and won $105,000. You’d think ok, at least it was only $5,000, but because of how the US records winnings as income and doesn’t measure losses equally, they had to claim an additional $110,000 as income in their taxes without enough to offset it. They ended up moving into a higher tax bracket, had to pay a higher percentage in taxes, and lost their three college age children financial scholarships. It was terrible but they wouldn’t stop.
@@Catmom-gl5ntthat’s just a bad tax accountant…. Did they hire one?, you can most certainly deduct gambling losses against gambling winnings on federal taxes, and I’m thinking all states but I’m not gonna check all 50 states, should be tho.
i have a cowoker that kinda,lives like this. 40 yrs old, living in a house with 4 other grown men, with a kid, a 1993 corolla as a car and no assets to show for. dude took ouot thousands from his 401k to gamble, and he continues to gamble. he owes people money and theres times his phone isnt paid so his only form of communicating is work wifi. its crazy
Yeah, his home set up looked really rough, the little we could see. I don’t understand how anyone can tolerate sleeping on an air mattress for more than a few days. (Of course it’s do-able, but that would just make everything else in your life harder, if it affects your sleep.)
Good point. Not only is it toxic and disrespectful towards the staff and customers, but if anything breaks or cracks, it's a waste of food, too. Edit: Nvm, it gets worse-
Atozy has a great point, having someone work on a fishing boat for months on end sounds like a surprisingly effective rehabilitation method. It removes them from their ability to indulge in their addiction while also humbling them and providing them with money and some life skills.
I used to watch shows and documentaries about men that work on ships for months and weeks on end. It’s not good. They are depressed and constantly scared and on guard of one bad wave ending them.
He can submit himself for voluntary banning. I used to work at a casino and they advertised a program where they'll ban you for life to curb your gambling addiction. No takesies backsies
I used to work with a casino group that had such a program for their 8 casinos. You could volunteer to be banned for a month, 3 months , 6 months, a year, until you get clean, or forever. And they would keep your money but not let you access your account or create a new one until you unbanned or closed your account if you ban yourself forever because they had every player's details due to kyc
Most internet talk hosts would just clown on him and call it a day, but the constructive criticism on how he could better his life is why I enjoyed this video as much as I did. Cheers from the humid swamps of Louisiana

"Gambled my braces away" For a second I thought he sold his existing braces on his teeth and I wondered who'd want those? How is that payment? And then I realised, oh, he's not getting the braces because he lost the money.
If he can't stick it out in a normal 9-5 how could he possibly go straight to one of the toughest jobs in the world? He would end up vlogging himself chucking all the equipment into the sea, and probably get thrown overboard for it. Those guys don't f around.
Yeah, he's gambling and trying to be an "influencer" because those are two ways he thinks he can make money without doing anything productive. He can't handle an actual job as he's proven over and over.
I think that’s kinda the point. Those guys don’t accept excuses and if you f around you will definitely find out that there are severe consequences. He would be, for lack of a better word, forced to straighten up his life.
Stranger: man, I’m really struggling with gambling debts Atozy: have you ever considered deep sea fishing? Honestly not a bad piece of advise, but it cracks me up how out of left field it came from haha
Is public transport really that bad over there? No matter how much money you have, people here take public transport everywhere. It's the most convenient thing when you live in or near a city
Same. And I have two separate savings accounts, one for emergencies and one for goals. But if my checking is under 1K, I feel like I'm in the danger zone.
As someone with addiction problems forcing yourself into a position where you cant keep the same destructive cycle can work. If I didn't have a career and housing to maintain I often thought if doing just that, If you have nothing to lose why not. We used to do this for people with forced military service in the courts.
Yeah, to get myself through withdrawal I've gotta go somewhere where I physically can't use. If I were more physically abled and on harder substances, then the fishing boat would be a viable idea hahaha.
"I'm going to make this money gambling." - He says as he then shows himself playing the game that has some of the worst casino edge out of all of them.
The only time someone has made money after saying something like “I’m going to make Money through Gambling” is if the rest of the sentence is “By opening a Casino”. I’ve sadly known people that had good jobs and would go through.
@@bengianturco7926Yes, of course people experiencing severe gambling disorder almost always realize that, but they “can’t” stop, sadly. Just like almost all people experiencing severe substance use disorders-if they’re being honest, when they’re more or less sober-know their self-medication is not an effective long-term solution. The house does indeed always win (overall and long-term)…
In Canada, I’ve had a friend who destroyed their life getting addicted to gambling at an early age. They eventually ended up consciously going to the commission to voluntarily blacklist themself. They also set up a form of bankruptcy which bans them from a credit score and a 5 year plan to pay off creditors.
I tell my 13 yo students not to gamble on the phone, that gambling is addictive. They all laugh at me. Same thing with vape. "Duh teacher, it's not addictive". Oh well. Not my problem. I don't have children. I did my part.
Well my moms best friend bad gambler , lost her home her job and her husbsnd .then got addicted to painkillers took her own life.. So sad shes always sadly missed
What kind of bank lets you overdraft like that? I can't go over fifty dollars before they start charging me 20 dollars a day till the overdraft is paid.
Plenty of banks would allow me to overdraft $100 like 7 years ago. So many, even with new accounts as long as I had a job when making the account. Not sure if anything changed since then, and glad I wouldn't know. Rock bottom sucks. One time I overdrafted $1 for a cigar and went to the hospital and left with an overdraft of hundreds of dollars so they make their money back in some ways!
This total is probably reflecting overdraft fees.. my bank will tack on $50 a day to the balance so it looks like a total like that instead of a breakdown.
After my gambling addiction destroyed me I started working offshore on a FSV, and you're right that it will keep you from gambling. But it's hard lonely work, usually only 2 people on each shift. Plus after spending 28 days in the ocean making a ridiculous amount of money, a lot of guys get drunk/stupid as soon as they get to shore and piss away their check.
That Man cannot "deep sea fish". It's intensely hard work, extremely uncomfortable, complaining isn't tolerated for any reason and solid impulse control is a deal-breaking job requirement. Not a chance.
@@kaytris Very few of those any more, most have been replaced by fire cameras. Also it's a government job so no one with a record. They make convicts work the wild fires as "job training" then can't get jobs as wild-land fire fighters once they get out because of their records. Feds don't hire criminals.
Too many people want to be an entrepreneur and influencer. Realize they have no ideas or talent. Then use clout to subsidize and confuse it as making progress.
Maaaan I was homeless and struggling. Veteran who waited a year and a half for benefits. Shoot I showered at truck stations, slept at shelters, and ate at soup kitchen. Saved there while doing day jobs, and got myself out. Still paying child support so I wouldn't get locked up. He can do it but my man needs to check himself in for some help. He still got a chance to get out.
My niece is a social worker at a shelter for unhoused people. She said what makes her job worthwhile is helping the veterans. She says the vets are usually serious about improving their situation.
He could take a ranching job. After doing all the chores and staying out on the range, keeping track of the heard, he would be too tired to gamble and get in touch with nature.
@@mocfive He tries smacking around livestock they're gonna smack him right back. And an angry ram, bull, or horse can hit a lot harder than he can. To say nothing of the other ranch hands if they had to clean up a mess he created.
yeah im struggling to see why banks give him new card to ruin, also wasnt aware you could draw money out if it wasnt in there. like surely after so many cards bank be like "no we cant give you new card"
@@ravenspurplebeats5412 I guess as long as he makes sure the money is paid back on time the bank doesn't cares. The banks really don't care. In the end they just want money... and you are the tool.
Had a friend join a fishing boat here in Alaska to escape substance abuse. Buried him shortly after he returned and overdosed. Running away wasn’t the solution
I think it depends on how earnestly one approaches the work: If you're going to start deep-sea fishing because you want positive change, you'll find what you're looking for in one form or another. If you're just running away from your problems, those problems will be there to meet you on-shore.
@@waterwitch8902 sorry to hear that, I'm in recovery. Not for gambling but drugs "vicodin's or percocet's" Addict's no matter if it's drugs or gambling we'll most of the time we'll blame everyone else for our own actions.
Lol my mom's the same way she did a bunch of drugs and lost all the money from our house burning down when I was 12 I'm 17 now and she's homeless it was always everyone else's fault just pure narcissism and projection 24/7
@DannyJr7750 how tf do you get addicted to gambling? I get getting addicted to drugs or alcohal since your body gets physically addicted but gambling? That's honestly pathetic
I am all for this life he created for himself. Literally just getting a job can turn his life around but he had to act like an idiot at every job hes held. This is the life he wants.
I am glad he's experiencing the just consequences of his actions, but I'm sad that he makes such poor choices that he would need those consequences. I hope he learns better and lives a productive, happy life.
12:48 I fished in Alaska for a few years. There were, indeed, plenty of folks escaping their substance and/or gambling problems for a time, but you always have to return to shore eventually. In my observation it’s just fuel for an even bigger blowout. So, addicts will save up $15k to $30k US during a fishing season, get back to society, and blow the whole wad in a couple weeks or less on (rhyme with me now) rugs, cookers, and shambling.
Seriously, I hate it when people act like "hard work" is how you deal with addiction. My brother was a milwright, my dad is a milwright. All hard work did was give them access fo more money when they had an off day
I feel that way for the millions of America who use The Affordable Care Act and love it but they voted for Trump cause they were anti-"Obamacare" which they, 'hate'. Well done Maga! Now good look finding insurance if you have a pre existing condition. or ....they actually believed that other countries pay our Trump imposed tariffs.... now they just realized they'd been lied to, corporations will increase their prices the 25% and pass along the tariff costs to us. Then Trump said in interviews, "Yeah, No, no, we're not bringing down prices, it's impossible to do that" because the Prez doesn't control the prices of eggs, as democrats told them repeatedly. Then most importantly Trump's going to raise retirement age to 69 and cut benefits to people who paid into the system all their adult lives so they can cut taxes even more for corporations and the top 1% It's impossible to argue with uneducated, racist, greedy and ignorant.
yeah it is wild... i have heard that gambling addiction is darker than even substance addiction and didn't know exactly what that meant... but he sleeps on an air mattress, when he showed himself making cereal, the cereal, milk, and bowl he used, were all Dollar Tree stuff. I got decades of opiate addiction behind me and I've, let me see, never been that low. Always had a bed. Always paid my bills first. Always had food. And at least I was guaranteed the high I was looking for, every time. Also never did any antisocial nonsense like wrecking stores..... why is he even worrying about braces when he doesn't have a real bed though?
Ah yes, the subway incident where he trashes his work place thinking it'll get him a record deal... No studio on the planet would let this guy within 100 miles of their millions of dollars worth of recording equipment after seeing how much he disrespects his employers work spaces... He's always one bad day away from trashing anything that's within arm's reach because he's an overgrown toddler...
I mean, not really? For one thing, recording artists don't live at the studio or get to be alone in it so there's only so much damage you can do to one. But more importantly, record deals are about whether the artist is able to sell records/get streams, which usually comes from real artistry and a real fanbase but it can also come from being the talk of the moment and having listeners in the short term because of the hype. Viral sensations have been known to get them just for being viral sensations and that's probably what this guy was going for, but it didn't pan out because it wasn't interesting or viral enough.
While it is an employee's job to keep the store cleaned up, it is also the job of the customer to not make the employee's job harder by being an asshole. This guy and people like him are part of the reason why retail workers get so stressed out. The sheer lack of respect to the store and the employee's who work there.
Hes an employee. This is why I don’t believe in eVrYoNe sHoUld wOrK rEtAiL to “learn respect”. Crappy people are gonna do what they do best, employee or customer
The thing is, this guy is garbage on both sides. He started out as the employee and from how he acted whatever any customer might have told him he definitely had coming.
I feel more sorry for the workers and managers who had to deal with the property damage he caused. He acknowledges the gambling addiction but not the wrongs he caused chasing “clout”.
11:48 I agree with the boats. I live here in Alaska. There aren’t any casinos here and a bunch of jobs that will have you in remote areas with the only thing to focus on is work. We dont even have access to the sports betting apps. Although, I fear he has an addiction that could easily turn into a drinking addiction here.
@@LechuzaSoulare you American? I live by Alaska but in Canada (in the Northwest Territories) and work as a career counsellor. If u don’t hear back from this person I’d suggest still looking at what jobs are posted up there. It’s pretty hard to find reliable workers up here so many companies will actually pay for you to relocate.

I'm a recovering alcoholic. Coming up on 5 & 1/2 yrs sober, this time. I think your advice, for him to get a deep sea fishing job (or something similar), is amazing advice. I send my best wishes to that young man. I hope he sincerely seeks help for himself.
@@Cbd_7ohm What do you think of delta 9? I bought a cart once and thought it was just like regular weed but i hadnt smoked for a while.

Here's some advice for those of you who grew up with parents like mine. They were in perpetual debt and never saved anything. You MUST have an emergency fund and be able to at least pay your bills and have some left over cor wither play or saving. Start small, but saving is addictive. In just a few years I've packed away nearly 30k (a one year emergency fund for my family and I) and once you get to that point, as long as you don't get yourself into stupid debt just save up and buy whatever your little heart desires. Stress and guilt free!
Yeah, me and my mother made this type of mistake and thanks to my shithead of a little brother last year, she and I almost went bankrupt (SHE almost went bankrupt from HIS action, I almost went so saving HER from it) we're slowly building ourselves back up with me mostly taking the advice you just illustrated as I realize how STUPID I was to not have this for myself! But yeah, you REALLY ARE going to need it one day, so it IS best to have it for that day! If it never comes, hey at least you were prepared! It's one of those "better to have it and not need it, then to need it, but not have it" affairs!
I used to go to the casino couple times a week(mostly Biloxi, but some times Vegas), and we used to get treated to all the best restaurants, VIP at clubs, finest rooms. It was nice and all, but trust me, I paid for all those items, it might have been COMPed, but the amount of money me and boys dropped at these casinos, we PAID for all those fine dining and suites. There is a reason why these casinos are sooo rich, and the odds are always in their favor. This is why the casino wants you to stay if you are winning because they know eventually you will give it back.
Filming yourself being a terrible person is always a great idea. This is why I despise social media and social media influencers. TikTok should not exist
No. I see it as a positive. The stupid and horrible people expose themselves to the world. The more these idiots expose themselves the more I know I have to avoid.
All of it is a big mess. We have people whose only contribution to society is "content", good and bad. Rather than actually having any significant contributions to their respective communities. Tiktok, OF, Insta Content Creators all of em, following a dream of get rich quick, lousy bunch for sure. I'm also certain, overall IQ has dropped with all the brain rot we're exposed to. Lest we forget the rise in mental health issues cause of social media. And people, like sheep, just go with the flow.
There is a universe out there where this guy didn't trash subway, didn't gamble hundreds if not thousands of dollars, and did OK. His struggle is entirely made by himself for 0 reason.

People grossly misunderstand those with addiction problems as people who don't know better. That is very wrong. It's a matter of brain chemistry, not knowledge. Understanding it makes no difference. It's a desiese. Knowing you have cancer does not make the cancer go away. At best, it can give a fighting chance for those with proper support.
My dad had a minor gambling addiction and managed to stop himself after he took a step back and looked at the finances. The first step was to stop gambling with friends he or just start observing how people do it like the roulette. He needs friends who will hold him accountable for his own actions or rope him into charity work where he can learn a skill like habitat for humanity and become a day laborer.
10:55 So the first thing we'd need to confront is the gambling. Gambling games use what are known as a variable ratio of reinforcement in order to make you more likely to engage in the desired behavior in order to obtain said reinforcement. You can try using several forms of therapy, but you want to understand the cause of it. Once you determine the cause, we can create an intervention to subvert the behavior. This could be by using incompatible behaviors, an alternative behavior, or other behaviors entirely. The goal is to reduce the gambling first, then gradually fade in more life changes.
You should NEVER gamble hoping to gain money, its just gonna lead to disaster, if you walk into a casino with 100 then think of it as paying 100 for the casino experience, the minute you start to think "I can make some money from this" or you lose abit and think "Ok got to break even tho, so I'll remake what I lost and then dip" the seed is planted, you should walk out a casino either having gotten lucky and made a bit and made the smart decision to dip right away or decided to go all in on the experience and walk out having lost what you decided to take with you thinking "Ah that was fun" preferably with a few friends since that increases the odds of enjoying the experience for the experience and not for the money.
I had a roommate back in the day, 30 years ago. She never paid the rent and was always broke. 6 months later...One day she invited me to go with her to the casino and i saw her spending 200 euros in the slot machines, then 500 more 😮. I couldn't believe it. After the 700 she asked me 100 to recover what she lost. Nope girl, stop it please.. After losing 1000 in total I LOST IT ! I was angry, disappointed and told her : So that's what you're doing with your money !? I'm not your mother. I'm done, get out of my house by the end of the month" She found a man to live with about a week later.
I don't understand the allure of gambling. The whole experience is anxiety inducing, knowing that you're probably going to lose money. I gambled once in my life with my ex husband, bet $20 on blackjack and broke even. That was all I could take and I never did it again, never wanted to either.
I have known a few poker players who can regularly turn a profit. But these are edge cases like people who can make a career out of playing basketball.
@Mereologist poker playing requires skills, intelligence. The saddest is thinking the games of luck/chance will be profitable. The machine decides for them but the faith in their good luck is over the top.
If you are truly smart you will know all casinos are rigged to make money, and if you make too much money, you get arrested for cheating. I have an old casino grade slot machine and i learned how it was rigged to pay out x-money after x-money was spent. Many people were murdered for casino debts in the bad days of Las Vegas. I have gambled before knowing full well gambling is rigged. I put a cash card with $200 on it. NOT!!! my bank card. If the cash card cashed out, it was over. No risk to bank balance. I stuck to just the penny slots. I got up a couple hundred each week I played, played them for a month just once a week. Won anywhere from $150 to about $220. per week just mindlessly clicking a button. Couple of old geezers taught me a strategy that would get you to win, and it worked. I made about a grand. For someone like me that works minimum wage and struggles just to see a grand that was a huge boost. I never spent the entire $200 i initially loaded on the card, and the winnings would go directly to my bank account and not the card, that way i wasnt infinitely spending my winnings. i never touched the skill based games, the roulette, none of that. people will shit down 60k in poker just to think they are a better card player than the rest of the players. you can 100% go to a casino and win money, but its not like the movies. if you know how to beat the risk of losing money, and not spend your winnings immediately, you can make a good amount of money just by nickel and diming $50-$100 wins over several months time.
Even if he managed to get a rap career going, the second the studio realises he's a cash sink hole, they'll drop him. People don't realise when you get signed by a studio to rap/sing etc, you're in debt to them till you earn enough to pay them back and excess cash made is yours, then you start to earn money once out of debt, if your first album doesn't do well you go into debt and stay there, the debt is for advertising, studio time, audio editing, beats to use, cd production, music video production and potential merchandise to sell you. You become a product till you're out of debt, and if you're bad product you won't earn a cent.

If we're counting scratch offs as gambling, I do it pretty regularly. Only difference is I regulate it. I don't play until all my bills are paid and I have over $100 to mess around with, and I only buy the amount of tickets based on what it'll round me towards. If I got $124 on me, I'm only buying 4 tickets and I'll buy more tickets based on what I win within those 4 tickets. If If I hit $10 or more, I don't continue. That's just me though.
Not just the gambling.... 10:30 Dude, a small capt crunch pouch and small milk bottle from a convenience store prolly costs more than a full box and a gallon from a grocery store. what are you doing bro
yes those multipack packs of mini bags cost double the normal box. and the little bottle of milk is organic so its even worse. i just got 4 boxes of cereal at kroger on clearance for $1.20. and ive found cereal at cvs on clearance for half off which puts it cheaper than full price retail at kroger for the same box. have to know how to shop
I honestly hope tiktok does go under. It keeps creating these violent view seeking hooligans that need to get out their phone. If this is what the future of the young ones are, I don't know what to think anymore
I highly doubt TikTok’s shutdown will stop any of these view seekers. They’ll all just get up and go to the next video sharing sight and just do it all again. Once TikTok’s does shut down, the TikToker will all just run over to YT shorts instead and continue doing what they were doing like nothing happened The sight really isn’t the problem, at least to some extent, it’s the people on it.

As someone who has played semi pro poker out of a port town on and off since I was 18 I can say that fishing boat is a terrible idea for a gambler. Most of the people who I played against were people who came off of boats and were playing poker with their crew mates for months on end. If you want to help a gambler put them to work in a factory. Too exhausting to gamble regularly I've found

I worked with a guy like that. Any time he won he would smile hugely and show you his phone gambling game…… you can see the wheels turning in his head and this was like once or twice in three years.

@@cardzbmurkin08 I would comfortably say most people in the comments here probably st least cause less malicious property damage for clout
@@cardzbmurkin08 It's comically easy to be a better person than a gambling addict. Sympathy is for selfish people who don't actually want to help others. If you actually cared you'd be honest with them and tell them they're being idiots. All your sympathy does is encourage terrible behavior and make you think you're a good person, when in reality you're contributing to their suffering. Sympathy has always been worthless. There's never a time in history where sympathy helped anyone. It doesn't happen. It's a way for lazy and selfish people to boast about how good of a person they are, nothing more. Empathy can inspire action. Sympathy feeds the ego of those who never act.
so my husband gambles, he’s only ever spent $25 of our own money though. he signed up when they had a free $50 promo and he’s won $1500+ in the last week, we’ve only cashed out maybe a quarter of that though. we have consistent money coming in and we’re not betting our real money, only our profit.
My cousin was an addict for over 20 years. Has had nearly 10 children, none of which he raised, been to rehab 6 times and failed after each stint and has nearly OD’d a couple times. Nothing worked to get him clean. A family member inherited a farm in the middle of nowhere and I mean like a 3 hour drive to any sort of civilization besides other farms. They sent him there and told him that if he ever comes back before he’s clean, they’re throwing him in jail. He’s been there for 2 years now and is clean, has a job as the farm manager and is getting his life back on track for the first time in 2 decades. Your idea is this guys best bet!
working with animals usually gets people to see the bigger picture besides drugs and booze. but if you're supid enough to have 10 kids then yeah you're life is over.

My father had a client who, along with his wife, were “recreational” gamblers. My father lectured him repeatedly they needed to stop, but they considered it their entertainment. One year they lost $110,000 and won $105,000. You’d think ok, at least it was only $5,000, but because of how the US records winnings as income and doesn’t measure losses equally, they had to claim an additional $110,000 as income in their taxes without enough to offset it. They ended up moving into a higher tax bracket, had to pay a higher percentage in taxes, and lost their three college age children financial scholarships. It was terrible but they wouldn’t stop.

Atozy has a great point, having someone work on a fishing boat for months on end sounds like a surprisingly effective rehabilitation method. It removes them from their ability to indulge in their addiction while also humbling them and providing them with money and some life skills.

What kind of bank lets you overdraft like that? I can't go over fifty dollars before they start charging me 20 dollars a day till the overdraft is paid.
Call them up and get an arranged overdraft. Tell them it's for emergencies. Get 1k or 2k.
Then you won't get bashed by fees.
The bank will let you overdraft all you want because ultimately you'll be on the hook for it no matter what
Plenty of banks would allow me to overdraft $100 like 7 years ago. So many, even with new accounts as long as I had a job when making the account.
Not sure if anything changed since then, and glad I wouldn't know. Rock bottom sucks. One time I overdrafted $1 for a cigar and went to the hospital and left with an overdraft of hundreds of dollars so they make their money back in some ways!
This total is probably reflecting overdraft fees.. my bank will tack on $50 a day to the balance so it looks like a total like that instead of a breakdown.
People still pay overdraft fees?

@DannyJr7750 how tf do you get addicted to gambling? I get getting addicted to drugs or alcohal since your body gets physically addicted but gambling? That's honestly pathetic
I am all for this life he created for himself. Literally just getting a job can turn his life around but he had to act like an idiot at every job hes held. This is the life he wants.
He needs to become a nomad hermit
I am glad he's experiencing the just consequences of his actions, but I'm sad that he makes such poor choices that he would need those consequences. I hope he learns better and lives a productive, happy life.
Merry Christmas, Atozy!!!
12:48 I fished in Alaska for a few years. There were, indeed, plenty of folks escaping their substance and/or gambling problems for a time, but you always have to return to shore eventually. In my observation it’s just fuel for an even bigger blowout. So, addicts will save up $15k to $30k US during a fishing season, get back to society, and blow the whole wad in a couple weeks or less on (rhyme with me now) rugs, cookers, and shambling.
Alaskan here, and you are 100% correct. Seen all too many go in this exact way
Seriously, I hate it when people act like "hard work" is how you deal with addiction. My brother was a milwright, my dad is a milwright. All hard work did was give them access fo more money when they had an off day
I have never felt less over someones situation. You reap what you sow
I feel that way for the millions of America who use The Affordable Care Act and love it but they voted for Trump cause they were anti-"Obamacare" which they, 'hate'. Well done Maga! Now good look finding insurance if you have a pre existing condition.
or ....they actually believed that other countries pay our Trump imposed tariffs.... now they just realized they'd been lied to, corporations will increase their prices the 25% and pass along the tariff costs to us.
Then Trump said in interviews, "Yeah, No, no, we're not bringing down prices, it's impossible to do that" because the Prez doesn't control the prices of eggs, as democrats told them repeatedly.
Then most importantly Trump's going to raise retirement age to 69 and cut benefits to people who paid into the system all their adult lives so they can cut taxes even more for corporations and the top 1% It's impossible to argue with uneducated, racist, greedy and ignorant.
yeah it is wild... i have heard that gambling addiction is darker than even substance addiction and didn't know exactly what that meant... but he sleeps on an air mattress, when he showed himself making cereal, the cereal, milk, and bowl he used, were all Dollar Tree stuff. I got decades of opiate addiction behind me and I've, let me see, never been that low. Always had a bed. Always paid my bills first. Always had food. And at least I was guaranteed the high I was looking for, every time. Also never did any antisocial nonsense like wrecking stores..... why is he even worrying about braces when he doesn't have a real bed though?
Ah yes, the subway incident where he trashes his work place thinking it'll get him a record deal... No studio on the planet would let this guy within 100 miles of their millions of dollars worth of recording equipment after seeing how much he disrespects his employers work spaces... He's always one bad day away from trashing anything that's within arm's reach because he's an overgrown toddler...
He would likely break in and sell all the equipment for $500 to cash out at the casino. Liability risk.
I mean, not really? For one thing, recording artists don't live at the studio or get to be alone in it so there's only so much damage you can do to one.
But more importantly, record deals are about whether the artist is able to sell records/get streams, which usually comes from real artistry and a real fanbase but it can also come from being the talk of the moment and having listeners in the short term because of the hype. Viral sensations have been known to get them just for being viral sensations and that's probably what this guy was going for, but it didn't pan out because it wasn't interesting or viral enough.
His best route is to get help, get therapy, get gambling anonymous help.
While it is an employee's job to keep the store cleaned up, it is also the job of the customer to not make the employee's job harder by being an asshole.
This guy and people like him are part of the reason why retail workers get so stressed out. The sheer lack of respect to the store and the employee's who work there.
I think he was employed by the stores he caused messes in.
He worked at that CVS….
Hes an employee.
This is why I don’t believe in eVrYoNe sHoUld wOrK rEtAiL to “learn respect”.
Crappy people are gonna do what they do best, employee or customer
Wrong. People being dicks doesn’t justify employees destroying property.
The thing is, this guy is garbage on both sides. He started out as the employee and from how he acted whatever any customer might have told him he definitely had coming.
I feel more sorry for the workers and managers who had to deal with the property damage he caused. He acknowledges the gambling addiction but not the wrongs he caused chasing “clout”.
11:48 I agree with the boats. I live here in Alaska. There aren’t any casinos here and a bunch of jobs that will have you in remote areas with the only thing to focus on is work. We dont even have access to the sports betting apps. Although, I fear he has an addiction that could easily turn into a drinking addiction here.
Can you get me a job up there? I been wanting to escape and just focus on working.
@@LechuzaSoulare you American? I live by Alaska but in Canada (in the Northwest Territories) and work as a career counsellor. If u don’t hear back from this person I’d suggest still looking at what jobs are posted up there. It’s pretty hard to find reliable workers up here so many companies will actually pay for you to relocate. You might also get a little tax break if you’re north enough but maybe double check that cause it could be different for the US. Good luck friend 😊
@@LechuzaSoulyou know what I was just thinking, our government does want to take in less temporary workers but you’re American so you’d be priority even if you wanted to try to hop on over here and try ur luck 🤷🏽♀️

Damn, this dude has done some repulsive things chasing clout but watching him gamble all his money away over and over again makes me feel bad for him.
I'm a recovering alcoholic. Coming up on 5 & 1/2 yrs sober, this time.
I think your advice, for him to get a deep sea fishing job (or something similar), is amazing advice.
I send my best wishes to that young man. I hope he sincerely seeks help for himself.
As an avid alcoholic.. thank you. 5.5 is good and I feel the "this time" haha.
I need to stop taking mitragynine/7-hydroxymitragynine and Delta-9-THC.
@@Cbd_7ohm What do you think of delta 9? I bought a cart once and thought it was just like regular weed but i hadnt smoked for a while. I did about 75% of it by taking a puff every 10 minutes till i felt good then chill for an hour or two. Though one day i hit a blinker and held it as long as i could. I was soooooo high on a packed rush hour train. I gave it away to a dope dealer i regulared in kensington
@Cbd_7ohm I've been taking kratom for over a decade for chronic pain, it got me away from prescribed painkillers. I won't touch the extracts though, that's where trouble begins...
2 years and counting sober. Completely changing my life (and getting diagnosed with Bipolar 1 with proper meds) has me much better off. Dude can't and won't Humble himself and until he does and puts the work in to become a better person, he's gonna keep spiraling downward until he can't anymore.
“At Meek Mills”… he was trying to get himself invited to those Diddy parties. ☠️

"Oh hallelujah Meek saved me. Great party bro-- "
"HANDS UP THIS IS THE FBI!"

Here's some advice for those of you who grew up with parents like mine. They were in perpetual debt and never saved anything. You MUST have an emergency fund and be able to at least pay your bills and have some left over cor wither play or saving. Start small, but saving is addictive. In just a few years I've packed away nearly 30k (a one year emergency fund for my family and I) and once you get to that point, as long as you don't get yourself into stupid debt just save up and buy whatever your little heart desires. Stress and guilt free!
I agree, my parents never saved. I’ve saved £600 a month for the past 10 years and am more than happy I’ve don’t that. Saving is addictive.
Yeah, me and my mother made this type of mistake and thanks to my shithead of a little brother last year, she and I almost went bankrupt (SHE almost went bankrupt from HIS action, I almost went so saving HER from it) we're slowly building ourselves back up with me mostly taking the advice you just illustrated as I realize how STUPID I was to not have this for myself! But yeah, you REALLY ARE going to need it one day, so it IS best to have it for that day! If it never comes, hey at least you were prepared! It's one of those "better to have it and not need it, then to need it, but not have it" affairs!
i invest 250 in a roth ira and save another 250 in a e-fund
Bankrupt ?
There's only one word that needs to be said ...
GOOD
I used to go to the casino couple times a week(mostly Biloxi, but some times Vegas), and we used to get treated to all the best restaurants, VIP at clubs, finest rooms. It was nice and all, but trust me, I paid for all those items, it might have been COMPed, but the amount of money me and boys dropped at these casinos, we PAID for all those fine dining and suites. There is a reason why these casinos are sooo rich, and the odds are always in their favor. This is why the casino wants you to stay if you are winning because they know eventually you will give it back.
Thanks for your Service 😂😂😂
Bro you must earn 100k month
Filming yourself being a terrible person is always a great idea. This is why I despise social media and social media influencers. TikTok should not exist
No. I see it as a positive. The stupid and horrible people expose themselves to the world. The more these idiots expose themselves the more I know I have to avoid.
None of it should. So tired of no talents making money off idiot kids.
I agree. I sigh everytime I hear a young kid or GROWN adult copying this crap.
All of it is a big mess. We have people whose only contribution to society is "content", good and bad. Rather than actually having any significant contributions to their respective communities. Tiktok, OF, Insta Content Creators all of em, following a dream of get rich quick, lousy bunch for sure. I'm also certain, overall IQ has dropped with all the brain rot we're exposed to. Lest we forget the rise in mental health issues cause of social media. And people, like sheep, just go with the flow.
That's why he is a sociopathic narcissist....
Your backdrop is awesome, please dont ever change it, brings back nice memories of better times when life was a lot simpler.
This a perfect vid to show why its not a wise thing to gamble, especially when ya struggling with money!!!
There is a universe out there where this guy didn't trash subway, didn't gamble hundreds if not thousands of dollars, and did OK.
His struggle is entirely made by himself for 0 reason.
You’re really down bad when you’re using single serving cereal pouches and milk bottles.
I was thinking how much more expensive that is compared to buying a box of cereal and a gallon of milk.
Atozy out here in a sea of opinionless slop actually giving life advice and treating ppl humanely. Love u so much man !
He’s thoroughly addicted; his lifestyle is a gigantic coping mechanism. The dude needs to become a monk or something.
He lost my sympathy when he destroyed someone else's property!
Him being completely self aware and not completely dumb makes this so much worse imo, at least with a lot of wannabe influencers who do this they're legitimately not that smart and content creation is one of the few avenues where they wouldn't be completely out of their depth but bro is relatively normal and just keeps on going because he's in too deep 😭
I think he has an addiction to gambling. He gambling his dignity for a chance of fame. And then reverted to a regular addiction gambler by now gambling at casinos but kept some of that fame chasing by posting it on his socials lol
I feel bad cause bby yo brain in there you just clickin out and not using it? I mean i sumtimes give that but just for a moment in time with thoughts that come and go that ponder what if my life was this then i thank god its not and shake my legs awake and flush the toilet. This mans hasnt the energy anymore to snap back and its concerning because will yu all be like this
So many losers on YouPubes and TikTok. Some will go down……forever.
People grossly misunderstand those with addiction problems as people who don't know better. That is very wrong. It's a matter of brain chemistry, not knowledge. Understanding it makes no difference. It's a desiese. Knowing you have cancer does not make the cancer go away. At best, it can give a fighting chance for those with proper support.
@@braincell4536 Yep, he seems to be self aware enough but he is completely addicted to gambling.
It’s honestly refreshing to see a UA-camr being 100% honest about his life and struggles.
My dad had a minor gambling addiction and managed to stop himself after he took a step back and looked at the finances. The first step was to stop gambling with friends he or just start observing how people do it like the roulette.
He needs friends who will hold him accountable for his own actions or rope him into charity work where he can learn a skill like habitat for humanity and become a day laborer.
He's down so bad he sold his right eyebrow. 10:36 😂😂i couldn't find it. The struggle is real, yall.
6:59 I legit didnt even know you could be overdrafted by almost a G. At that point, isnt it a credit card😅
I have an over draft of 5k if I want I can use it I have before and reported it stolen only done that once lol
I don't think he over drafted a "checkings (sic)" account that much.
You can if you use your bank account / routing number instead of your debit card.
Dude love the mats ! First time to your channel. Loved it like your set up and style and the mats 😂 got my sub
10:55 So the first thing we'd need to confront is the gambling. Gambling games use what are known as a variable ratio of reinforcement in order to make you more likely to engage in the desired behavior in order to obtain said reinforcement. You can try using several forms of therapy, but you want to understand the cause of it. Once you determine the cause, we can create an intervention to subvert the behavior. This could be by using incompatible behaviors, an alternative behavior, or other behaviors entirely. The goal is to reduce the gambling first, then gradually fade in more life changes.
You should NEVER gamble hoping to gain money, its just gonna lead to disaster, if you walk into a casino with 100 then think of it as paying 100 for the casino experience, the minute you start to think "I can make some money from this" or you lose abit and think "Ok got to break even tho, so I'll remake what I lost and then dip" the seed is planted, you should walk out a casino either having gotten lucky and made a bit and made the smart decision to dip right away or decided to go all in on the experience and walk out having lost what you decided to take with you thinking "Ah that was fun" preferably with a few friends since that increases the odds of enjoying the experience for the experience and not for the money.
I had a roommate back in the day, 30 years ago. She never paid the rent and was always broke. 6 months later...One day she invited me to go with her to the casino and i saw her spending 200 euros in the slot machines, then 500 more 😮. I couldn't believe it. After the 700 she asked me 100 to recover what she lost. Nope girl, stop it please.. After losing 1000 in total I LOST IT ! I was angry, disappointed and told her : So that's what you're doing with your money !? I'm not your mother. I'm done, get out of my house by the end of the month"
She found a man to live with about a week later.
I don't understand the allure of gambling. The whole experience is anxiety inducing, knowing that you're probably going to lose money. I gambled once in my life with my ex husband, bet $20 on blackjack and broke even. That was all I could take and I never did it again, never wanted to either.
I have known a few poker players who can regularly turn a profit. But these are edge cases like people who can make a career out of playing basketball.
@Mereologist poker playing requires skills, intelligence.
The saddest is thinking the games of luck/chance will be profitable. The machine decides for them but the faith in their good luck is over the top.
If you are truly smart you will know all casinos are rigged to make money, and if you make too much money, you get arrested for cheating. I have an old casino grade slot machine and i learned how it was rigged to pay out x-money after x-money was spent. Many people were murdered for casino debts in the bad days of Las Vegas. I have gambled before knowing full well gambling is rigged. I put a cash card with $200 on it. NOT!!! my bank card. If the cash card cashed out, it was over. No risk to bank balance. I stuck to just the penny slots. I got up a couple hundred each week I played, played them for a month just once a week. Won anywhere from $150 to about $220. per week just mindlessly clicking a button. Couple of old geezers taught me a strategy that would get you to win, and it worked. I made about a grand. For someone like me that works minimum wage and struggles just to see a grand that was a huge boost. I never spent the entire $200 i initially loaded on the card, and the winnings would go directly to my bank account and not the card, that way i wasnt infinitely spending my winnings. i never touched the skill based games, the roulette, none of that. people will shit down 60k in poker just to think they are a better card player than the rest of the players.
you can 100% go to a casino and win money, but its not like the movies. if you know how to beat the risk of losing money, and not spend your winnings immediately, you can make a good amount of money just by nickel and diming $50-$100 wins over several months time.
Even if he managed to get a rap career going, the second the studio realises he's a cash sink hole, they'll drop him. People don't realise when you get signed by a studio to rap/sing etc, you're in debt to them till you earn enough to pay them back and excess cash made is yours, then you start to earn money once out of debt, if your first album doesn't do well you go into debt and stay there, the debt is for advertising, studio time, audio editing, beats to use, cd production, music video production and potential merchandise to sell you. You become a product till you're out of debt, and if you're bad product you won't earn a cent.
I love how you were saying he’s going to be alright then after trying to think of ideas you busted out with “Idk he’s cooked” I’m dead 🤣😂
1:38 LOL, right when you said "And this is how he did it" I got sent to a UA-cam Ad for the scam nutrition company Factor. Took me a second to realize it was an ad and not part of your video, but it lined up so good.
I’ve never understood the appeal of gambling the chance of winning is so low and it’s not even fun imo
You just didn't gamble enough. 99% of gamblers quit right before they win the big prize.
Same. I don’t gamble. Fiance does but with the expectation that he’ll lose.
If we're counting scratch offs as gambling, I do it pretty regularly. Only difference is I regulate it. I don't play until all my bills are paid and I have over $100 to mess around with, and I only buy the amount of tickets based on what it'll round me towards. If I got $124 on me, I'm only buying 4 tickets and I'll buy more tickets based on what I win within those 4 tickets. If If I hit $10 or more, I don't continue. That's just me though.
It’s better to not understand it. It’s a really bad addiction. I don’t understand it either, so it’s best to avoid doing it.
That's why it's called the "idiot tax."
Your mat company looks cool as hell. I wish your company the best

yes those multipack packs of mini bags cost double the normal box. and the little bottle of milk is organic so its even worse. i just got 4 boxes of cereal at kroger on clearance for $1.20. and ive found cereal at cvs on clearance for half off which puts it cheaper than full price retail at kroger for the same box. have to know how to shop
