Hey there, Juggies! It's your old pal, McJuggerNuggets here.
That's right. I look a little different, do I? *Laughs*
I hope you guys really enjoyed our 16-episode Mini Series
Documenting the transition from Jesse as a character...
To Jesse as a real life person that you see before right now.
But now,
It's time for a special REAL annoucement.
Whoa, where all the stuff come from?
It's not from Los Angeles. Why, why not? Freaking rumours...
By the time you watch this pre-recorded video guys,
I am at VidCon right now...
With my whole entire family.
Me, Jeffrey, Uncle Larry, my Mom, my Dad, even Juliette.
Yes, we are dating. This will be our first time out of character in the public in years.
Oh and no Corn anymore. He is no longer with us.
Years, Juggies. Years. Day in, day out.
Countless hours non-stop, two videos a day
Pretending to be somebody you're not.
Pretending to be another person on Social Media.
Pretending to live this double life, my whole family included...
not been able to go out in public.
Sacrifices, Juggies. Tens of thousands of dollars, not having a life...
but this lie.
I just want you guys to know the level of sacrifices that me and my family made...
to tell you this grand story which was the Psycho Series.
Literally, thousands of examples of metaphors, an analogies...
symbolism for shadowing exists throughout the series.
That's right. It wasn't real.
To be honest, it felt real, though. And I always say if it lives inside your head,
it's real.
Part of me, killed my Dad.
Arguments happened, destruction happened. Everything that you saw happened.
And, there are some real side effects of that.
I just don't want you to forget that. Some of you may feel hurt,
betrayed, lied to, upset, maybe relieved, maybe even impressed.
But this video, and those that are coming in the future,
Will make sure that will all be okay.
It was never intended for children to watch these videos.
I was merely telling my story, the only platform that I had.
We risked our relationships, our reputation,
and even at times, our lives
just to provide this story for you guys.
There were so many times where I wanted to break character
and tell you guys what was going on.
I willingly made myself look like a stupid selfish jackass...
Who destroyed businesses, who didn't get what he wanted...
and cry about it and scream and took off his clothes
like a man-child...
Just to tell you guys a story and to play a character.
At any time, I could've told you guys I was playing a character...
But then I would have ruin the emergent.
From a business standpoint, it would have made sense.
'Cause then people would like me more, and subscribing to the channel and watch the videos...
Instead of watching some whiny brat.
It would had been easy for me to do that but, I took the hard road because...
I wanna give you guys the solid experience.
Regardless of anything guys,
I cannot thank you enough for what was truly an incredible journey.
The Psycho Series, which included a 50-episode original playlist.
Close to a thousand vlogs,
Told the coming-of-age story, of young Jesse Ridgway, who had an new age artistic passion...
And had to stand up to his old-world father. All while slowly losing his mind.
There were heavy themes such as Domestic Abuse and Violence, Divorce, Separation, Alcoholism,
Sanity, Insanity.
Familial dysfunction, brotherhood, long-distance relationships, love, letting go, jealousy, revenge...
Moving out, getting a job, growing up, becoming a man...
Violence and Video Games.
Following your heart versus doing what you told,
Standing up to your parents. And what truly matters in this world.
In what was in my opinion, the greatest su-do reality,
Interactive, Story-telling experience of our generation.
And you guys are all part of that.
All provided, for free. On the internet,
two videos a day.
Sometimes, totaling over an hours worth of content
Compared to say, television that gives me an hour a week
With ads totaling around 42 minutes, or even an feature film which is an hour and a half...
and that's it.
We pioneered something incredible.
Guys I could go on for hours about the nature of the series.
And that's exactly what I plan to do.
I have over two terabytes. Fucking terabytes.
of Behind the Scenes, bloopers, alternate takes, deleted scenes, commentary over real life drama...
That I will be releasing bit by bit over the next year.
Juggies, you have no idea how great it is to finally be open and...
honest with you guys.
I feel free finally. Ironically, as my character flees the country and he's free and...
And just talking about the story real quick. It, it hurts me to see where my character end up and...
It pains me but,
One thing that I want to pull from that is...
At the very end of the series,
What my character is saying about how I could never repay you...
And thank you so much for everything, and joining us in this freaking wild adventure!
That is so true!
I know things got scary for a bit.
But I want you guys to know that I will never ever stop making videos for you guys.
No matter what you are hearing, no matter what happens,
(Uncle Larry): Never ever? (Jesse): Never ever.
Yeah. That is kind of intense.
But, I truly mean it. Whether is one minute videos coming out while, while I am on vacation...
in Switzerland.
Whenever, I will guarantee new videos.
Because you guys gave me absolutely everything.
And, like truly saved my life and I'm not bullshitting anymore.
(Uncle Larry): They helped us all. (Jesse): No it's true.
You guys helped everyone in my life. Friends, Family included...
even complete strangers.
Just so you guys know little bit about the real me.
You will never find an more caring, dedicated, honest to god, hardworking fucking YouTuber on this platform.
So, let's kick some ass together, Juggies!
Be sure to subscribe because you don't want to miss what's to come.
Because I absolutely cannot wait for you to meet my actual family.
Not this team of actors that I had.
Is like no relation whatsoever.
(Uncle Larry behind the camera): You can't say that! (Jesse): What?
You'll confuse everybody.
*Laughs*
What? What's wrong with that?
Guys, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. That's messed up.
They are all my actual family. Uncle Larry is even holding in the camera right now.
All will be revealed soon guys.
Social Media links in the description below.
I encourage you guys to check them out because guys, I will be super active now.
It was so difficult. I had to maintain the illusion of the series
So I was remain hidden...
But now...
The community will know what, hit it.
That's right.
Juggies have taken over by storm.
Alright guys.
Guess I'll, see you around.
It's time to get to know the real, Jesse Ridgway.
*Car alarm*

(Uncle Larry): Calm down. (Jesse): *Angry sigh*
