Hey everybody, welcome back to another episode of "fat, chubby guy tries to be funny, and
transgender skeleton wears a HATE hat."
Today, we're gonna be doing something a little different.
Today, we're gonna be talking about PewDiePie.
Nah, I'm kidding. Actually, today we were gonna sit down and do a reaction video
and we've been working on some big things but
Sometimes, I just want to level with you and tell you how I'm doing.
Lately... I've just..... I feel like... this year has probably been, so far, the most miserable.
Of my life, that I can remember.
And, um...
It's all your fault.
No, Hila's the best. If it wasn't for her, I probably would have jumped off our balcony by now.
Basically, some of you may not even know...
'cause it's been so long, that we're being sued,
for copyright infringement.
And, um...
It's coming to a head. It's finally coming toward the end...
of, of, uh...
Hila: It's like a big junction.
Where it may, and or, it may go in front of jury.
Right. Well, yeah, we're gonna find out what's going on, essentially.
A huge update.
We haven't really given you guys any meaningful updates about it
just because, for the first part of this, it was so slow moving, that there was really nothing to say.
And in the past couple months, it's been moving so fast that we've just been waiting to see what happens.
I think a lot of people were like "oh, you're not even being sued any more",
well, we are being sued
and it's miserable
and uh, man, I just hate my life, pretty much.
I mean, just to tell you what's been going on the past couple months
It's like- it's like a cloud of doom hanging over your head.
It's like "hopefully I'll find out this month if I'll be in financial ruin for the rest of my life or not."
And, even if you win, we are still in financial ruin! Because, first of all,
Well, let me just start by saying we had to switch attorneys.
It was not working out with our previous attorneys.
And we got the first month, the first month, this is one month's work.
Here, this was the bill we got.
Can you see that?
Do a little zoom there.
Yep, that's five-zero...
And then there's 54,000 thousand dollars!
I mean, I appreciate all the services they did. Especially the six hundred and twenty dollars
of photocopying...
Color! It was in color. Color copying is very expensive.
They're like "listen, six-twenty on top of 50K... they won't notice".
Other than that, I'll say that, you know,
I can't really talk more about it, but,
It's like we're fucked no matter what happens.
And again, I need to emphasize so much because it's been so long since we talked about this,
that thanks to PhillyD's fundraiser, we raised... I think that after gofundme took their cut,
A hundred and fifty thousand dollars.
And I'm sure that we're gonna spend every dime of that and probably another fifty thousand dollars of our own money
to defend this lawsuit.
Hila: When it started, we really thought that we wouldn't really spend anything close to that.
Yeah.
A hundred thou-- spending a hundred thousand dollars for the whole thing, worst case, is like we lose,
we have to pay 'em off, a hundred thousand.
Fifty thousand for one month.
So, I need to say it again, because it's been a long time.
But I have to... give each and every one of you guys... who-- who opened your wallets, generously, and your hearts
to helping us defend this case: Thank You so much.
Because, to be honest, we were in way over our heads.
When we were like "oh, fuck this, we're gonna fight this lawsuit."
We're like "psh, fifty thousand? It's a lot of money, but it's worth it for a good cause."
And now... one month! That was for one moooonth!
It's unbelievable! It's criminal!
The American Justice System it's just.. how can you defend yourself?
Like, you guys give us a hundred and fifty thousand dollars to fight this lawsuit
It's not enough. It's not even enough.
And, I'm just wondering, if we didn't have the backing and support of all you guys
and the means to even throw fifty thousand dollars of our own money to defend this case
how would we ever stand up to this?
It's like those with money in the legal system have the ability
to destroy, and bully, and just defeat people on the grounds of "I have more money."
And you never would have a chance of defending yourself. It's obscene, guys.
This whole things has been so overwhelmingly depressing
that I just feel like I need to be honest with you guys and express, like,
We come here, we try to smile, and be happy, and make..you know, fun videos for you guys
But today...
It's a hard day.
And it's what we're thinking about all the time.
What's funny?
Hila: You're making me cry.
Oh Jesus Christ, dude.
Like it's..it's..it's been like
When we went through the process of getting Hila a green-card,
we're like "this is the worst thing we'll ever go through, by far.
Nothing will get worse than this."
This is so much worse.
I guess the point of this video is just to be honest.
And as we're getting fifty thousand dollar bills every month,
and, actually realizing that, because of you guys, we're not, like, bankrupt.
That we can actually do this.
So, to everybody who gave us money, to help defend ourselves,
a fucking huge, huge, Thank You. So much.
I mean, without you guys...
We'd be... it'd be insane.
I feel like.
We..we both were like "man, we need to come on and say thank you to everyone, 'cause it's been too long.
So, that's been going on with us. How, how are you guys?
What else? How else you doing Hila?
Hila had a little gum surgery so that's why she hasn't been in the videos for a long time.
I've seen so many comments!
Like "fuck off, Ethan! Where's Hila? We only care about Hila!"
I'm like, damn dude, me too. She's by far the best but she can't be in videos right now.
And about me, dude?
Doin' some crazy FUPA loss.
I'm down like twelve pounds.
What do you think, Hila? Am I more attractive?
Would you tap this?
Hila: I don't know about this posture that you're doing right now.
Would you not tap this? How do you want me to stand?
Is this better?
Hila: Like a regular human being.
Like this? This is how a human stands right?
Hila: Uhh, no.
Honestly, there's not much to say. I feel like we just wanted to come on and say thank you guys so much
we don't say that enough.
The amount of support you guys have given us is just ridiculous.
And, only now, are we really taking the time to realize and actualize it as we're coming to an end
of this fucking nightmare.
Not much to say here, guys, just felt like I couldn't sit down and be like
heh heh! *claps*,
Fun video, guys!
Um, This is just a bit of honesty. Honest expression. To show you that we're not out here just living a perfect life
and having giggles and smiles all the time
that we're actually suffering, you know, like everybody else.
So, Hila do you have any closing words?
Talk to the hat.
Haters.
