It had to come from somewhere

Everything has a beginning everything has its origins but where it all began
Where it came from? How did it happen?
Tonight I'm going to find out
Strap yourselves in with the met- meta; metaphorical metaphorical seatbelt because it's gonna be a wild ride
Tonight we are going to find the origin of review brah
Welcome
the greatest mystery of all time
the single biggest question in the 21st century
You've heard the news you've seen the discussions
you've probably read one of the
1400 books that have been authored trying to tackle this issue
It was an evolution it was a metamorphosis a lot of people don't know that
Thereportoftheweek, reportoftheweek
Review lad, review brah, review bruh, review dude and review bro
Why did that happen how did that happen?
Where when what's going on? Why am I even here right now? I
have those answers for you and
I'm going to give you that knowledge that information and
In doing so I'm risking everything
But I think it's for the greater. Good I
I do...
and before anything else
over the years I've been referred to as many things even to this day and you know
Predominantly, it's review brah but on occasion
you'll get some other things that will get thrown in here and there and
I want to cover a few the probably the most well known
Whatever you want to call it
Just things I've been referred to and that perhaps we'll just be able to clear up a little bit of confusion
So then we can get to the real important answers
First I want to cover the topic of Baby Brah
There there he is baby brah
That was where it all began. That was the the start. That was the beginning. That was the real
You know, it's not rebuke bro. It was baby, bro
first suit right there and I was uncomfortable. I was really scratchy at first, but then I kind of got used to it
You can see right there
started getting more comfortable
My eyes, they just started getting gigantic
I mean that was that was a crazy time and I started going with the pompadour and everything
I mean those were the days right there then you have a few people
Review BrA. That's another thing that that was referred to me
Just listening to this man's voice is or is great
thank you review breath and then it looks like there's two dots and then a
Number it's like a number three so you have that there
the review bruhhe
That was another one that you'll see from time to time
review bruuhe
It's one of those crazy things right there. You can see in the suit
You know
Massive, I mean that is the only way to describe it
Bruhgh
Why does he look like?
He is living in a fun our old
House, and then that's followed by at least a dozen and a half squares
Hey, I mean, I don't even know the ant I don't even know where to begin with that one
We're just gonna go with it, right, you know squares and the font of the fun on wall and all that so good enough

Surprised I am NOT enjoy your 2019, reviewdude
Looks great
Thanks Ryan
That actually was my my name for a very short time
Sometimes people would even be a bit confused
When it came down to what I was even referred to and it be asked as a question
Some people would be unsure and they would say are you are you this?
Are you that you you remind me of you know, whoever or whatever?
are you a
hand model
That's that's a really weird name. I've never really heard that one before I
don't know anyone who goes by that name to be quite honest, but if he meant a
Hand model. I'm not fingernail model
Yes, indeed
But not a hand model. No fingernails. Only no one no hands like you know,
I don't go into that type of of territory, but I will delve into the the occasional fingernail modeling business
Take a effin bite already
you
salamander looking
And then that's followed by a few of the
smiley faces with the tears dripping and then a square in between them you
Know he's actually right. I do kind of look like a salamander. Let me show you let me give this up I
Would say that the resemblance is uncanny
No, he's right there. There was there was a time when you could easily see the comparison there who got that, right?
this guy is such a pencil-necked little I
swear if I see him, I'm going to punch him in the
sucker punch
him in...
Where I guess I guess he means the mouth, that's an odd
But that's actually the oddest way I've ever seen that referred to but I guess that's what he was referring to there
but you can see that was another name that some people called me a
pencil-necked
Little you know, you know what then it eventually because I made the change over to pens
You can see I always got the two pens in my shirt pocket
Then it changed over to double pen necked little expletive
So that was just the early early example, there isn't too much from the pen neck days, though
There are a few things if you really kind of dig around and and really go through the archives you'll be able to find
Some people tried to take a guess at my name at what I was referred to
in this intermediary period as I said
anything goes
They tried to guess it for me. This is dumb asf
That was not me, but I guess he thought I was
Then you have cases of mistaken identity and this dude looks like a female version of mr. Bean
You know, I have been called Mr. Bean a few times and I've always enjoyed that show to be honest
I had never bothered me even in high school
Like I called that if a few times of those and that's completely fine though the female version female version of mr
Bean that is a new one. Never had never seen that one before
What a classic eighties nerd. That's another new one because I always you know, that's that's kind of
That's kind of on the bald. I'm not quite mix again on the subject of evolution
metamorphosis change changing, right
What I am is what
The 80s nerd became in ten years
the mid nineties accountant
That's what that's what I that's what I always go for so close close but no cigar, you know
he was on the point just off by a decade and
Here we are. I
Think I cleared everything up. I hope I did. Anyway, I my best I
Tried to cover every single possible nickname
alias
positive identity false identity mistaken identity and
Everything in between. I tried to clear everything I could up and I hope I hope that was satisfactory. I
Wanted to do everything that I could
possible
possibly
to clear up any possible confusion because now we're gonna get serious and that's kind of why I adopted the
Semi disheveled look, you know, you want to go with it
You got to loosen the tie a little bit. Not too much
You know, you don't want to look like you just stepped out of the bar at 3:00 a.m
Yet
But you know, so you still got to keep it, you know somewhat presentable, but just just enough gotta find that perfect balance
We're gonna get serious
This is what you've all been waiting for and you know, all I can tell you with this point is prepare yourself
I've been trying to figure out how to deliver this
I'm just gonna say it out right so if you're ready
Physically, mentally, if not, you know, take a break look you do what you have to do
We're gonna go in
The name Review Brock came about in early 2013
When my reviews were shared about and posted on bodybuilding forums of all things
and I guess it was just because of the I don't know the
Culture the community on these sites. Everyone called each other brah. I don't know if this is done anymore
But at the time, you know, hey brah, yeah
What's up, brother know this bra that bra and the members of these sites decided? Okay?
Well, the guy who does the food reviews is ReviewBrah
And I remember at first I kind of I didn't really look at it as any sort of
serious name at all, you know as a matter of fact, I just I adopted it initially tongue-in-cheek, but I I
Personally found it ridiculous. I thought you know the juxtaposition of
ReviewBrah compared to the actual channel is incredible. So I thought okay
I'm just gonna you know, adopt it as a joke, and that'll be that
well, of course it turns out that
Compare the name ReviewBrah to TheReportOfTheWeek
which is gonna stick with people better, you know, which are people going to
Remember better, even if you don't try to promote that name to them
ReviewBrah! Before then I remember
A report of the week lion though the weekly the review of the week. What could you say that again?
You have such a long name and you know, even though it's based of simple words. It's easy to forget
I remember when I first started the channel, I was kind of forgetting it at the time
so
review blah, you know, it's it's kind of absurd but
It's easier to remember easier to say it kind of has a little bit of a catchiness to it
And that's why it was adopted I think by the public at large
you compare ReviewBrah to TheReportOfTheWeek and one of those is
exponentially easier to remember than the other and
You know from 2013 on I've completely adopted it. You know, I always I can't help but look at it lightheartedly and
you know, just just see it kind of as uh,
Yeah, almost this is the joking type of thing
But I've adopted it and I'm fine with that
And you know every time I see that name it brings me back to the to the days back and probably late 2013
When I was doing the bodybuilding craze, I used to be hitting the gym
I'd say 15 to 25 hours a day. I could see right there
Those are the results that I got and sometimes I look back and I think about those days and you know
I look right now and I say you know what?
You still got it... [Yeah, right... you're even more ripped now!!]
Incredible, isn't it? I just that one thing
Can possess such,
Such a journey. That's the only way to put it, you know, I mean
Well, thank you for watching this video
Ladies and gentlemen, everyone watching I'm your host thereportoftheweek also known as reviewbrah, baby brah
review brass
review bruh
The pencil-necked piece of you know, whatever and everything in between
Hope you enjoyed it
You know
I wanted to take a look at a serious topic and just
Try to break it down for you have a bit of fun with it to it the same at the same time
It's something that I've been asked so many times. As a matter of fact this video was actually a viewer request
I had a lot of people that were coming up to me and saying could you can you make a video explaining?
ReviewBrah and I decided to go forward if there is a place where you can get your opinion heard
Have that direct means of communication be able to support this channel as well as the podcast and the radio show
Where I got this from was patreon, my patreon page is patreon.com/thereportoftheweek
That's patreon.com/thereportoftheweek
It's a great way to help keep this channel this podcast the radio show going
Airtime is expensive. There's no other way to
To put it you know, that's the honest truth and I was thinking about cutting back on a lot of the shortwave broadcast
I was thinking you know who even even listens to it anymore
But I sent out some surveys the other day and I was amazed at the results that came in
Lots of people still tuned in probably tens of thousands
If not more across the world and a lot of these people that that wrote in they don't have internet access
They don't even have a computer that a lot of people that were saying my internet is just so bad at this point
They still have to listen to the radio or you know, I'm using a computer at the public library
It's it's a way that reaches a lot of listeners even today that just don't have the fast
Streaming abilities or smart phones or the good internet that you and I have and there's many people out there
The show is able to reach still - and it's your support that keeps it going
You know as I said airtime might be expensive
But in my opinion it's worth every single dollar that sent forth for those costs
Recently thanks to your support. I've just included a broadcast to northern Africa and
You know hoping that everything goes
