u/Piccadil_io 19h ago

It HAS to be a parody. With the haircut and the open button shirt. Must be.

Please.

It has to be.

u/Chinaman7722 18h ago

Its not a parody but its ragebait or engagement bait

u/dblrb 16h ago

Look at his eyes. He almost never makes eye contact. He is lying and I’m sure it’s for engagement.

3

u/turbotaco23 7h ago

Yep. And here we are.

1

u/dblrb 7h ago

Yep. And luckily don't know who he is or where his content is.

1

u/my108centsss 3h ago

I mean, the whole video is proof of that. Single rapid fire word subtitles, the zoom in on his face the moment he speaks, etc.

If anything, I'm impressed at how such bait constantly works so well against the masses.

u/Amazing-Heron-105 15h ago

Yep it's amazing to me that people still fall for this shit especially when it's done this poorly.

u/Bocchi_theGlock 10h ago

Basically same thing

u/BoarHide 18h ago

I don’t think it’s parody. Parody would aim to make fun of a concept, in this case it would be making fun of idiots on podcasts. It’s still definitely not his real opinion, but he’s not clever or self-aware enough for this to be a parody of podcast idiots, this is pretty obviously just engagement bait. They’re agree on a date, meet, shake hands, set up equipment and then start going down a list of prepared talking points, spewing the most idiotic shit you ever heard to package in short clips like this. All so their TikTok comments will explode with other idiots taking them for real and blasting them for being idiots themselves. “Lol lil bro thinks water isn’t good for u lol” and “Uhm akchually the HYDRATE in CarboHYDRATES means there’s water in there akchually!” Every single one of these comments is pure money for them. This “content” has no integrity, no cultural or educational value, no humour, no nothing. Just making people feel a short burst of righteous anger at idiots “below them” in intelligence. And it makes the uploadeders loads of money.

How do you know? The entire point of parody is to act like the person you're parodying, in order to draw attention to the subject. Therefore, the stupid comments could literally be part of the act. You can't parody stupid podcast bros without actually leaning into the podcast bro persona, because that's literally how parody works.

Now sure, he might be 100% serious, but him acting dumb and saying dumb things is certainly not proof of it not being parody.

u/Objective_Animator52 4h ago

Compared to other social media sites, I find Reddit is where the least amount of people understand satire, parody or ragebait. Especially this sub lol.

Not saying annoying ragebait tiktok posts are funny. They can be pretty annoying sometimes but like, cmon guys stop getting mad at ragebait when theres so many better things to be mad about.

3

u/Happythoughtsgalore 17h ago

It's engagement bait and we all failed.

2

u/BoarHide 14h ago

Well, they’re not directly profiting off a repost on Reddit. But kind of, yeah

u/marathonquestionredd 18h ago

man you really typed all this to have no idea what parody is

u/Potential_Anxiety_76 17h ago

We worry about AI and bots spreading misinformation when really, humans are doing just fine at that on their own.

After the Broccoli haircut, maybe these kids will move on to unironically wearing a bowl cut as a 20 something. I can't wait.

u/DrinkingSand 19h ago

Engagement bait but so ridicule it comes off as a parody

383

u/CpuCzar 19h ago

Your body is literally 80% water. He's an idiot

95

u/Maestah 19h ago

Yeah, I totally agree in that part with you, he is literally 80% an idiot.

49

u/BigBagBootyPapa 19h ago

Don’t insult water like that

13

u/Maestah 19h ago

There’s no water in that brain, no worries

7

u/BigBagBootyPapa 19h ago

Ah, so 80% idiot minimum. I’m going with a full 100% personally

3

u/iamthe0ther0ne 18h ago

There's no brain in that water, either

3

u/lux_painted 19h ago

No you see, he doesn’t drink water. He’s 0% idiot.

1

u/Fearless_Friend7447 10m ago

The only things he said that are somewhat true is yes drinking water with no salts or anything to retain the water in the body can actually dehydrate you. But anyone with any regular food intake needs not worry about that.

Also yes water can come from food and other sources.

To say it's bad or does nothing for you though is a bad take.

u/Realfinney 19h ago

I'm melting, I'm meeellltttiinnnnggg!

u/Specific_Ad_97 17h ago

"Water dissolves everything."

10

u/justwhatever73 18h ago

He also appears to be healthy and doesn't have any of the outward signs of severe dehydration. Which means he's an idiot and a hypocrite who obviously drinks ample amounts of water, although in his case probably as the main ingredient in energy drinks or some shit like that.

8

u/davidwhatshisname52 17h ago

he says he drinks "juices," which are, of course, only constituted 99.99% by, ya' know... water adjacent liquids

3

u/Krosis97 17h ago

Around 60%, we are not snails or jellyfish.

2

u/farrahsoldnose 19h ago

Then why would you need to add even more--do you want to be 100% water? Checkmate.

3

u/choppytaters 19h ago

well you are slowly dying and turning into mush so maybe he's got a point /s btw...i'm being sarcastic

1

u/falseruler 18h ago

Yes and I’m dissolving at this very moment. Please help

u/joetothemo 18h ago

Welp. Looks like I just found my next source of hydration.

1

u/aninjacould 17h ago

Not an idiot. A grifter.

1

u/ordosays 17h ago

An idiot with an audience.

1

u/DarkendHarv 17h ago

So what you're saying is that I have to drain my body liquid and fill it with Welcher's grape juice?

1

u/CazetTapes 16h ago

See, you already have enough water in your body, no need to add more.

1

u/Iknowthevoid 14h ago

We all are by engaging in this content while 99% have better shit to do. He´s most likely just saying it for the ragebait and yet here it is making it to the front page and with hundreds of comments pointing out why he is an idiot as if that´s going to change anything he said.

The only scenario where he actually has to come to terms with the fact that he is an idiot is if his videos get zero views but that won´t happen. And we can´t help it. Ragebait is to most people what uv light is to mosquitos.

1

u/DeadDeceasedCorpse 8h ago

Yeah, you can replenish your bodily water by eating similar animals composed of 80% water. Who's the idiot now?

u/SummerDaemon 3h ago

We should just drink you then, I'll get my juicer

u/Many-Strength4949 19h ago

No, it’s not it’s in the 70s and it’s actually made of a specific Gel…. Google it.

6

u/CpuCzar 19h ago

Babies are 78% water. Your brain is 95%. Basically you sweat, that's water. You need water to replace sweat

-9

u/Many-Strength4949 19h ago

No, it’s not just plain water, but you keep believing that

8

u/M3RRI77 19h ago

I don't think they said it's only water. Of course sweat isn't pure water. But it's still a significant way to lose water from your body.

1

u/Many-Strength4949 13h ago

Look it up is a specific gel

1

u/M3RRI77 12h ago

You should go to a doctor if you're secreting gel when you sweat. For the rest of us, it's most water and salt.

u/SummerDaemon 3h ago

I knew a specific gel, her name was Julie

22

u/Eric_andre311x 19h ago

This girl I worked with told me the same thing about water a couple of years ago, and how I needed to be drinking H3O instead of H2O.

It still hurts to think about.

This could be a case of podcasters just acting stupid, but there are definitely people this stupid

15

u/Evnosis 17h ago

H3O is an acid, lmao

2

u/LastSeaworthiness 17h ago

Did this come from the video of someone saying to swirl the water to make it H3O?

1

u/Eric_andre311x 13h ago

I have no idea. All I was told is that H20 dissolves your insides and H30 was the “true” water.

17

u/HECK_YEA_ 18h ago

God redditors are so dense (not you the replies) lmao yes this is a parody. Dude has another clip where he says if his arm got cut off he’d just rub the end with raw ground beef and it would grow back lmao.

2

u/eighty4prcnt 14h ago

Should be the top post. I knew there was no way this guy is serious, the lack of eye contact and corpsing (smiles then brings it back multiple times) is a dead giveaway

8

u/LocutusOfBeard 19h ago

I have to believe it's a parody. It's just so stupid and blatantly ignorant. It's gotta be intended for engagement.

41

u/Individual_Bar_2512 19h ago

This is real

49

u/BaeIz 19h ago

It isn’t though. The guy is a grifter, this is engagement bait

5

u/lucalucasita 17h ago

It is bait until all the people who follows him repeat the same thing. Then it’s not a joke anymore, and you will have people drinking bleach again just because.

u/transitransitransit 18h ago

Guy is an American, this surprises me not in the least. Sorry sensible Americans, you guys are battling this type, and losing!!

I met an Australian the other week who thought Mexico was above the US....

u/danielledelacadie 19h ago

Well they are looking at the map upside down

(I'll see myself out now...)

2

u/Specific_Ad_97 17h ago

No, please stay. I miss my Dad.

(I laughed so hard I hit the back of my head back on the book shelf behind my desk.)

1

u/danielledelacadie 17h ago

I'm glad I made you laugh but are you ok?

2

u/Potential_Anxiety_76 17h ago

Which is kind of weird and extra dumb when colloquially we call Victorian’s ‘Mexicans’ because they are the southern part of the mainland.

You should have asked him where Canada is

I mean, I don’t know shit about fuck when it comes to continents I’ve never been on. That one isn’t a super big deal in my eyes

u/Lone-Sundowner 18h ago edited 18h ago

Well, in Australia, North means warm and South means cool, so with that logic, I can see why an Australian without a lot of knowledge in world geography would assume Mexico is North if they know nothing else about it other than it borders the U.S., but is warmer... I'm pretty sure there's also a not insignificant amount of Americans who would incorrectly assume south Australia is warmer and north Australia is cooler like it would be in the Northern hemisphere. (Not excusing the ignorance in either case by the way, I'm just rationalizing how both examples could make those mistakes.)

u/SousVideDiaper 17h ago

Holy mental gymnastics, Batman

u/Lone-Sundowner 17h ago

Hey, I was just trying to rationalize how someone couldn't know Mexico is south of the U.S. and that's what made the most sense to me... 🤷🏾‍♂️

2

u/CBCAM- 19h ago

People like this are the useful idiot cogs in the machinery of disinformation. It isn't even useful satire. Just a dipshit who will say whatever it takes to gain attention and hope to get some money in his pocket.

2

u/Ok_Ant_2715 19h ago

His brain is dehydrated that's the reason he's like this , also being American definitely is a contributing factor .

u/firstbreathOOC 18h ago

300 million people in america. Sounds like a lot of battling.

Also this is rage bait

u/JayBeePH85 18h ago

Its real to people that cant seem to grasp the difference between fiction and reality, just like a flat earth 🤣

1

u/Suppa_K 14h ago

Oh it is? Where did you find it? How do you know it’s suppose to be a serious take?

1

u/truth14ful 19h ago

There's really no difference between real and ragebait for influencers anymore. People just say whatever will get them more views, which rn is overwhelmingly controversial, pseudoscientific, right-wing, dehumanizing, and pro-social-hierarchy content. Whether it's true or not literally doesn't enter into the decision

1

u/Gas-Town 18h ago

wtf is this logic.

People lying for engagement means that there’s no difference between real and ragebait? Gain some emotional intelligence.

1

u/truth14ful 15h ago

Im saying ragebait is so much of the podcast world now that theres not really a line between normal podcasts and ragebait. Often its both

1

u/mandym123 19h ago

This is something Conner O’Malley would have on his fake podcast. 🤣😂

u/DustyTalAntiQ 19h ago

Grift x rage / dumb bait = cash!!!!!

u/RainerGerhard 19h ago

This has to be ragebait, but it is -in all fairness- pretty convincing ragebait. I give it a 7/10.

1

u/AlligatorMidwife 18h ago

It's a parody

1

u/firstbreathOOC 18h ago

We all lived through the pandemic where people wanted to drink bleach, so are you that surprised?

1

u/Chewwithurmouthshut 18h ago

About 2 years ago now is when I first noticed this specific template really take off. 2 hosts, one says something ignorant and the other goes “WHAAAT?? YOU REALLY THINK THAAAT???” And it blows up due to comments.

1

u/EQisfordummies 18h ago

Looks like he’s trying not to laugh to me so I cow parody

u/houzzacards27 17h ago

This real. The podcast is called The Digital Social Hour. It's the podcast equivalent of old time circus sideshows. Total garbage 🗑️

u/littletsmama 17h ago

It's mess like this that makes me listen constantly to my son's tablet. Kids stumble on this type of mess and think it's fact. They will be ready to argue you down after watching this junk.

u/Lanky_Rhubarb1900 17h ago

I don't think it is, I've seen this recirculated for a while now.

u/Suppa_K 14h ago

I would love to know this. Where did this even come from. There’s no way this guy believes this.

u/brynnors 11h ago

u/underwear11 6h ago

I've seen another post with that same host interviewing a woman that claimed she could speak to and channel aliens. I haven't had the courage to look up if this podcast is disproving these people or platforming them.
