(Trouble by Cage the Elephant plays)
At first I was at a loss for what to do
I didn't know where to go.
I just decided to go to my best friend's house and see what he was up to.
(knocking)
Uh suh dude
(snapping of fingers)
(clap)
(thud)
(double clap)
I'llfuckyouupI'llfuckyouupI'llfuckyouup!
I actually respect you as a human being!
(Both) Gotcha!
Ouh!
(Both) - Dalai Lama!
(Both) - Dalai Muhammad!
(Both) Orange creator!
Oof!
- Pretty good! - Alright then!
As soon as I walked inside, I realized I made a big mistake.
(Blackout by Breathe Carolina plays)
- Oh dude! - What the fuck?
(Cib) I'm fine here if you're fine here.
I couldn't believe my eyes. My friends had gotten into vaping.
(coughing)
I felt disgusting just being in their house,
however not even I could avoid succumbing to peer pressure..
(Cib) So, you put down the button, inhale, like you're squidging a wigmonster,
and then just breathe out-
(violent coughing/choking)
(Steven) Nyaarggh!
(Cib) Oh- Oh fuck!
He's niccin' out!
He's niccin' OUT!
He's niccin' out!
(Steven) As it turns out, I'm deathly allergic to nicotine.
(Cib) Better? (Steven chokes)
(Cib) Instantly worse..
(Steven violently chokes)
(Steven) So I decided to take Cib away from the danger of that house,
and into the loving arms of someone who cares about health.
That's when the unthinkable happened.
(Cib) Move.
Fuck outta the way dude!
(Steven) Oh goddammit.. fine.
(car beeping quietly)
I decided to have foie gras that night.
After visiting Cib's dad at the cemetery, we decided:
Why not check out some supercars?
So I decided after being, uh, let go..
Why not drown my sorrows and get the car I always wanted?
: A Maserati.
(Cib) The R9 Grasshopper!
Not so bad! If I don't say so,
and I don't!
I do?
Or-
I don't!
(Steven) And here we have the- and here we have Mark's car!
(Cib) Ferrari ler le Eric's Eric is hot
and
it's a Lamborghini though!
WOW!
(Steven) Are those..?
Carbon serandon hips?
Carbon serandon brakes?
Aha haha!
Here's another one of those ones that McLaren just named a bunch of letters and numbers.
(Through the Wire by Kanye West plays)
(Cib) Dog trash.
(Steven) Once we were done buying sportsmobiles
we decided to go out for a nice bru-unch
and discuss biz-niss.
Well why don't we go on in?
You know there are a couple places in the world
that make me feel better than any other place, and
this one in particular-
is just okay.
It's Malibu Pier,
the food isn't great,
the people aren't that great,
the drinks aren't that great..
All this walking was niccing me out HARD,
I was still feeling the repercussions of the nicotine from earlier.
(vomits)
(vomits a little more)
After I was done niccin' out, we decided to sit down for a nice meal.
Thank you.
(Server) There ya go.
(Steven) Oh I'm definitely gonna get, uh, a bloody Mary.
(Steven) So you're free to ask me anything you want about-
the SourceFed situation and I'll answer it exactly how..
I can.
(Cib) So forty people got let go?
(Steven) About forty yeah, I'd say forty.
(Cib) Why do you think SourceFed ended?
(Steven) When I signed up, um, to work on SourceFed,
I knew it was like a, it was an uphill battle.
(Cib) Mhm.
(Steven) I knew it wasn't going to be like an easy channel to- to fix.
Well look at, like, Roosterteeth, for example,
people who are there from the beginning are still there.
The- the audience didn't have to, like, get used to anybody new,
(Cib) To try to adapt to new people-
they're- they're adapting but they're also still able to welcome in the new people while the older people are still there so..
It's- the transitions are a lot easier.
I'm not surprised that it was cancelled.
I'm surprised how soon it was cancelled,
I mean,
every year people talk about like 'this might the last year of SourceFed's able to- if we stay on this downward path',
but I don't think anybody actually believed that.
You know when you have a dying grandparent and you, (laughs), you know that-
they're on their way out, but you wanna just
see it through and then, maybe there's a chance you can keep them alive a while longer?
(Cib) Attached to a machine most likely.
(Steven) Yeah, we were attached to a machine,
and they were- someone was just finally like 'this bitch is old'.
There are jobs that I could probably take at this point, (breathes in),
but I do wanna work on my own channel-
the only issue is like, when I'm out on my own doing YouTube, uh, freelancing,
Alyssa's at like a real job all day,
so, I don't have many people to talk to so I'm gonna have to talk to as many friends as possible
and set up as many shoots as possible
because, if I'm like, left alone for three days, I forget how to socialise.
I think one of the biggest issues that led to SourceFed
ending wasn't just the old hosts leaving,
I think, what's unfortunate is when you're owned by
a parent company
that has a hands-off approach,
you're provided with great budgets, but not necessarily-
great advice.
Or, advice at all.
And I think, unfortunately,
in the transition during a merger to a smaller company that isn't goddamn discovery that has
the budget of- a thousand suns!
Drastic decisions are a lot easier to come to.
I don't think there's any one person to blame for the end of SourceFed.
Granted, it would have been nice to see what happened
in three or so months,
because it did seem like we were on an upward path..
But the more time I spend thinking about it,
the more I realise that,
maybe it was just time.
But then there's that other part of me that's like
'Nggrh you motherfuck-'
which I think is totally understandable.
I got a text
right now,
from Alyssa,
and it said, um,
'Congrats on 800k, my sweet fish man. Love you teebs.'
So I just wanna say, uh, a brief thank you,
to everybody from SourceFed who probably just came here
if they enjoyed me on the channel or something, and they came to, to my personal channel to, (sighs),
to just see if I'm still alive,
or to keep up.
I'm here, even though it's pretty sad, with everything happening this is a
nice little.. pick me up.
But so's this!
As well.

And just like SourceFed was cancelled, the nicotine from earlier cancelled out my blackout!
I remember the rest of the day!
