You guys may have seen our newest video
About how Jake Paul and RiceGum were promoting a
gambling site that's likely a scam to children
On their YouTube channels,
[RiceGum] $10,000 handbag!
And since then a lot of people have been talking about it, but
whats fascinating is that they BOTH responded
And I'm really happy to report that they were very thoughtful
They were very intentional,
clearly they put a lot of time, effort, and thought
into these responses
and I thought they were just
so refreshing to see somebody really owning
and taking responsibility maturely for mistakes
So let's start with Jake
He responded; I posted my video on Twitter
and Jake responded very eloquently here, he said
[reading tweet] Lol, love this vid, heart
I gotta tell you, this response, I sat on it for about an hour
'cause I really
I was like, "Did- do you know this is a video about you?"
"Did you watch the video? You loved this?"
[Jake Paul, distorted] COFFEE
You loved this video, Jake?
I was trying to- I was really trying to make sense of it
[Jake, distorted] I drank SO MUCH COFFEE
I mean, it's possible he just hadn't had a cup of coffee in a couple hours
and he was confused
you know?
I mean, who knows what's going on in that guy's head
So I responded to him, I said,
[reading tweet]
Because I just wanted to be like
"You know what you're talking about, you know what you're saying, right?"
And he said, [reading tweet] "Yes love it!!"
Hmm?
I guess he loves selling gambling to underage kids
so, there you have it-
Jake Paul has owned it! He has tooken responsibility
He's been super thoughtful,
He has been very straightforward, very transparent with us
and- he's a fan!
Apparently, Jake Paul is an Hila Kleiner
seems like he's a fan of ours, so, that's pretty exciting!
But the real response came from RiceGum
who put out a video yesterday
and what you see is RiceGum turning into a full-on nark
[Rice] -he did the same type of video- the same type of video!
like three months ago
No one said anything. It wasn't a problem back then!
Look, look, look- all these guys right here?
They're in David Dobrik's crew!
Whatever, they're "influential," got kid fans, same thing
opened up boxes. This was three weeks ago, way before I was doing it
Why did no one bring it up three weeks ago or even talk about these guys?
This guy, Morgz, same exact thing literally same thing 4 months ago
RiceGum is a straight up snitch
he's on the streets he's been interviewed by detectives
and he straight up giving out everybody's name
to try to reduce the sentence on his acts
these YouTube streets don't take kindly to snitches
and he's trying to snitch out like kids channels, like watch this
[Rice] oh, don't even get me started as last night
Guava Juice have more subscribers than me, why is nobody talking about this guy?
and he makes slime videos, he makes slime videos, do you know what that means?
no one over the age of 10 is watching slime videos
I'm sorry man like I've been cursing on my videos so I got some older kids younger kids
this guy got all kid fans
bro, did you know what these slime guys are capable of?
you know what they bury in their slime, Rice?
wow, he went after the slime kid, Guava Juice
bro, you better move, you better change your name after you snitched on Guava Juice
ohoh, no way
and let's talk about your thumbnail before we watch the video
are you trying to say that I'm not beautiful (thicc)?
what exactly are you trying yo say with this thumbnail
that I'm not a voluptuous dad?
I'm telling you guys man I'm not playing around 2019 I have not playing around
I posted yesterday I'm here again today I'm gonna see you guys tomorrow
but how is everybody doing hope everyone was doing fine
yesterday I was doing really good man great vibes great energy and then today man not so much
I woke up to this man the front page of Twitter talking about Jake Paul and RiceGum under fire for promoting gambling sites to kids
bro, Are there police outside your house?
Is that the snitch police in your driveway?
How are you ignoring the fact that the police are in your driveway RiceGum?
How are you gonna make a video with the police in your driveway?
What the heck is going on at your house?
the FCC is here to investigate RiceGum already that didn't take long at all
I think they might be here to impound your stuff after you narked out all these powerful people
they're gonna be coming after you dude
there's no way to start the year like- I just need to clear this up because I don't even think it's a big deal
So the other day I posted a video where I was promoting this website
my management just came to me was like yo Rice here's this deal
about the app or whatever you get paid right
I love how he describes it as just
yo my management hooked me up, I don't think about anything, I don't consider anything
they just said yo here's this thing it's gambling for kids it's lightly rigged
the top prize is a 250 million dollar house obviously that's not real
you wanna do this? yeah sure of course I'll make a video about that, I don't think about anything
[more RiceAss nonsense]
I really don't understand your point, how are you comparing this, um
nobody ever made the argument that working with sponsors is wrong, people are saying that
doing gambling sites that are likely a scam for kids is wrong, that's what you did
you're not addressing that [Rice] so my numbers are higher so imagine how
much they offered me right so the money was on the table and if I wanted the
money I just had to open up a few supreme boxes and shoe boxes and boom
I get the money so I was like yo that sounds easy enough
I dropped this video really think nothing much of it
you guys don't understand they offered me two hundred thousand dollars to do this. What am I
supposed to care about my fans? guys you don't understand
they offered me so much money that it justifies bending any morals or ethics I have
Rice why do you think they're offering so much money because it's a
freaking ridiculous scam, I'd be surprised if you are any of these people
even get your money out from these guys I have a feeling that mystery brand is
gonna run off with all this money and not even pay anyone out
And then just outta nowhere all these random ass youtubers outta nowhere coming and droping exposed videos, calling me out
for doing this doing that about the whole gambling thing is like even h3h3
yo guys I actually filmed this video yesterday and at the time h3h3 was the most
popping youtuber to call me out, but the things have changed. This morning!
PewDiePie just drop a video on me, I'm in the title I'm in the thumbnail, this dude is the
biggest youtuber in the world man I guess this is like a big deal
he's almost like gloating he's almost proud of it he's like yo h3 he's kind of
big but PewDiePie recognized me woh I guess this is kind of a big deal
I guess I'm kind of relevant again PewDiePie acknowledged me, oh oh, we're back
no but this is a serious deal you guys. So now you're gonna see RiceGum's primary
argument and his defense is that other people have done it too
now I found out about this through RiceGum and Jake because these are the
numbskulls that generally do the stupid things and so when they do stupid things
obviously it pops up on someone's radar more, I think what he thinks is
that everyone's out to get him and that's not the case
it's just how I found out about it, but what he does here is a beautiful thing
he snitches out everybody else and these YouTube streets don't take kindly to snitches
just fine it so funny like I think it's hilarious that like this
you know gambling thing is the current you know topic of discussion right now
it's like a big deal but it's just like there's this youtuber named 'Reaction Time'
he actually has more subscribers than me [OOF] I don't know how because he's not cooler
than me but anyway, he made the same type of video, the same type of video like three months ago
no one said anything it wasn't a problem back then
so I looked into that Reaction Time definitely a popular channel geared towards kids as far as I can tell
and this guy interestingly has removed his video since the controversy happened
it's just gone I went on Twitter to see if he had made a statement about it
he has not made a statement so he kind of just made it disappear luckily I was
able to find a quick re-up load so let me take a quick look at it
mystery boxes mm, it is such an interesting concept, you pay money for a mystery box
you know my biggest problem with this guy is if you close your eyes and listen
he sounds just like Logan Paul listen just close your eyes
this site is the ultimate site better than any other for mystery boxes
yeah I watched it he's just as guilty as everyone else
look look all these guys right here, they're in David Dobrik crew whatever, they're influential, got kid fan same thing
opened up boxes this was three weeks ago way before I was doing it
why did no one bring it up three weeks ago or even talk about these guys
it's for the same reason that you think people are picking on you dude it's because you have a
larger more influential channel what's so hard to fathom about that you have a
big channel with impressionable audience so you have more of an obligation and
when you do something stupid it's obviously gonna attract more attention
but I love how you're snitching oh oh oh for the 3-pointers snitching
same exact thing literally same thing four months ago he's not even
promoting gambling to kids, he IS a kid yeah this dude is 17 gambling it's not a problem alright
it is a problem dude it's all a problem I love how the way he has of
defending himself is just snitching on everyone else and be like well these
guys did it and nobody cared so clearly, you know, I got nothing to apologize for
in that case this is RiceGum in the interrogation room writing a contract
with Susan Wojcicki (CEO) guaranteeing himself to be a snitch, he is an informant oh my god
dude rice is gonna have to go into protective services after this because
the nest guy he threatens scares me watch this
don't even get me started as last night Guava Juice have more subscribers than me
why is no one talking about this guy and he makes slime videos, he makes slime videos
do you know what that means? no one over the age of 10 is watching slime videos
I'm sorry man like I've been cursing on my videos so I got some older kids younger kids
this guy got all kid fans, promoted the app 2 months ago
I want to tip you off RiceGum but slime makes a perfect burial goo, this guy's made tutorials on how to
make slime coffins before... I would be scared if I were you, you snitch
I'm gonna sit here and just bring up every one that did the same deal as me
you kind of already just did that, you literally brought up almost everybody who did that
and Rice listen, you're a grown-up I think I mean sure your development was
arrested around 12 but you have the brain of a 20 year old you know that
just because other people did it doesn't make it okay for you to do it I mean
that's like going before a judge and saying yes your honor I did do the crime
but I would like to point out in history books that all these other people
have done this crime and so... I think I should be let go
I'm just trying to say this mystery box thing has been on the internet for like
3 to 4 months from other creators but as soon as I do it it's a problem
I actually saw some people comparing what I did to the csgo gambling thing
I'm just like what is not even close I don't know if you guys heard about that
with the csgo gambling thing there was these two youtubers: Tmar and
Syndicate right or whatever and they were like promoting this gambling app
in the video they were unboxing all these crazy things that cost a lot of money
come to find out those two guys owned the gambling site
like they were owners of it, which mean they could have easily just went
into the back and just higher their chances of winning
so they got exposed that was like a whole big thing because they're like scam in their face
RiceGum is intentionally missing the point here
because people are not comparing him to csgo lotto because they think he owns
mystery brand, they're only making the comparison because it's selling gambling to minors.
You're just trying to defend yourself against stuff that doesn't really-
isn't really valid, the only thing I see is a Sniiiitch
I don't know what they have going on like people keep saying that the website is sketchy and
all this stuff is that you guys can form your own opinions, do your research
you can form your own opinions and do your own research, unlike I did, before I sold it to you
oh oh oh oh (Wow, Ethan! Great moves, keep it up, proud of you!)
I spent four dollars yo let's goo
RiceAss scamming (gone wrong)
oh that doesn't sound like a guy who's encouraging his fans to do their own research and come to their own conclusions
I do feel bad and all, I'm like kind of defending myself and stuff but I do know I'm somewhat in the wrong
I think just h3 said it best [Ethan] and there's a reason you need to be 21 years old
to gamble because you need to know what you're doing it's a dangerous,
it's addicting, it's a very- it's a vice right it's a real vice many lives have
been ruined due to gambling addiction quite literally gambling to an 8 to
12 year old especially on YouTube we're just supposed to be a reputable site
it's true, I'm an asshole (we know) like what was I thinking like, I can't really do much
cuz I already did it the damage has been done you guys already saw a money hungry
side of me and it is what it is and there's nothing I can really do but say sorry
and give you these (expired) Amazon gift cards so I'm sorry it just will not happen
again Amazon codes 10 to 20 dollars just a little giveaway
it's the least I can do after what you know, this you know, okay have a good day guys
I'm sorry again I hope you guys can forgive me. Let's have a good year yeah? no? okay (RiceScum did an oopsie)
all right well anyway I am wrong and I'm super sorry I am gonna
keep the 200,000 dollars I do admit I was wrong I shouldn't have
done that I'm gonna be giving about a hundred
dollars away right now but I will be keeping the two hundred thousand dollars
and hopefully all your mom's credit cards don't get maxed out you're gonna
be doing chargebacks your mom might miss her rent
I do really apologize for all the credit cards that were stolen and possible
gambling addictions that were fostered in a 12 year old brain when all of your
neurons are firing and you're making that connection you're getting really
wired on gambling at a young age
