Brutal Honesty by request (Warning: harsh language and harsh realities)

[@DavesGuitarChannel]

For me, I love the roasting and I enjoy the channels you roasted. I love a hot take on something, whether I like the channel or not, I see the humor in it. I've made comments about other guitar channels and i got riddled with dislikes on my video. Bring it on. I do my videos for me, not for people's approval. Keep rocking.

[@MillennialCodger]

Couldn't agree with you more. Thanks man!

[@HardshellPiper]

Thank you for this honest and frankly eye-opening video. If there is some BS infesting the community, I would consider it an act of loving regard for said community to expose and call it out (especially the sick freaky stuff you mentioned). How anyone could take it any other way would be a head scratcher to me. Make the content you want to make and the viewers will decide if they like it or not. Blessings, good sir!

[@MillennialCodger]

I appreciate that brother. Thank you

[@cohiba1982]

I find you to be a wealth of information, I wasn’t aware of anything you spoke about in the video, now I am and I’m happy to know the scuzzlebutt around the pipe community i.e. dangerous Chinese pipes so I thank you keep up the good work.

[@MillennialCodger]

@@cohiba1982 thanks man, I appreciate it. Glad to be of some service.

[@pipestattoosandconversations]

People who are fake, want you to be fake yourself so they don’t feel bad about themselves being fake. Keep going!!! Cheers!!

[@BrutalEnough]

I can agree on what was said in the video. (And cool that the pipe cottage actually commented on your roasting!)

[@MillennialCodger]

Yeah he was a good sport for sure. Thanks Chris

[@TheGentlemanScholar]

I got one for ya: I was in the process of doing a LIVE because my phone's storage capacity is getting cramped. Suddenly, I'm seeing "Hi, daddy!" Yeah, wrecked my concentration a bit...

[@MillennialCodger]

[@TheGentlemanScholar]

@MillennialCodger RIGHT? I had to shut it down as my train of thought was completely derailed.

[@SmokeSnacks]

I don't see why folks want to get on you for pointing out what becomes obvious to us all. Keep it rolling!

[@paesanopiper]

You keep making the content you want to make, brother. It needs to be something for you first. Anyone who doesn't like them can just unsubscribe. The rest of us will keep watching and enjoying your content.

[@MillennialCodger]

Truth! Thanks man

[@PaladinPiper]

I just learn new things everyday from your channel. 😳😳 I know pipe crate was kind of a flash in the pan. Whitlock's reached out to me a while back , and I agreed to do a review but I told them I was going to be honest with what I thought. When I did the video.... I wasn't sure if the pipe was safe to smoke. I talked to a few carvers and asked about ebony wood as the smoking medium which I believe is what they told me it was....and all of them said be careful. Myself.....who has a ton of allergies to life it seems...could never bring myself to smoke it. But others mileage may vary I know. Now the pouch I do believe is a decent value being waxed canvas. Def will hold up to years of use and abuse. As for the rest I try not and take things too seriously....life gives me enough seriousness every day. Love this community and being a part of it...waves and valleys and all. You keep doing you. :)

[@MillennialCodger]

Appreciate you Pat. You were very honest in your video. People can buy the canvas on it's own for $10 less. Thank you for your continued encouragement, it means a lot.

Thank you man

[@PilgrimPiper]

I thought the option to Dislike had been removed by KZbin. I am definitely not tech savvy. I do agree with many points you brought up here. Every now and then I have to check my motivation for making videos. I did one GAW when I reached a 100 Subscribers a few years ago and realized later how I messed it up in a way and said I wouldn't do them anymore....which may explain why after all these years I just recently passed 360 subscribers. Thankfully, I know who are the regular viewers and commenters and over time I will show my gratitude for them. There are a few presenters who interacted with me years ago until they reached a certain milestone and never heard from them again. There are a few who never interact with me although I do so on theirs. Its weird in a way. On the recommendation of a "legend" and those who loved him, I tried his favorite blend and thought it was absolutely horrible...but I knew better than to say public at risk of excommunication...LOL. One day, absolutely none of this is going to matter.....peace be with you friend

[@MillennialCodger]

@@PilgrimPiper hey Pat, nope they only removed the ability to see it on videos that aren't your own. I have a browser extension that allows you to still see them. I misspoke about giveaways. I am hosting one. But it's only open to people who have commented before, no vrs, and just a comment to enter. I think in general they are a good thing and there isnt anything wrong with doing them.

[@williamwallace7651]

you got 361 now. was the recommended blend haunted bookshop may i ask lol

[@PilgrimPiper]

@@williamwallace7651 LOL...yes...

[@PilgrimPiper]

@@williamwallace7651 Not throwing punches at people...just the blend

[@TheLeagueOfTheKeeprsOfTheBriar]

@@PilgrimPiper I never kicked a blend out of the pipe… lol but I did add copious amount of Pirate Kake to The Huanted Bookshop to make it more palatable

[@jonathansteele1057]

Your right that pipe is a piece of junk, the case is ok but the pipe stem broke on me shortly after buying it. I got one when I first got back into pipe smoking about two years ago. Waste of money mostly.

[@MillennialCodger]

@@jonathansteele1057 at least the case is ok. They sell it on it's own for 10 bucks less. I never purchased it. I could just tell by looking at it.

[@StDavidpipes]

That was spot on! Well said. I concur.

[@MillennialCodger]

Thank you brother

[@backcountrypipe]

Well said and good stuff. Lots of sheep in the world.

[@MillennialCodger]

@@backcountrypipe Thank you kind sir. I really appreciate that.

[@BlakesPipes]

Glad you stated something about the other side of the ytpc. I still to this day, have not seen it. But I am also not a ytpc presenter. I just have a yt channel that likes to smoke a pipe. I also support some presenters that I enjoy. I have seen some very left wing presenters that like to stir things up, but I don't watch them as "that's not my bowl of tobacco ". 😂 it's your channel, make what you want, that is my side. I like you do editing and I can see you put time in on making a video. As for the thumbs down, it really doesn't matter, it shows that a watcher is interacting with the video, so take that as a positive. I have one guy that has put a thumbs down on all my videos. But he went to each one and interacted. Winning!😂

[@MillennialCodger]

Thanks Blake! The left wing thing isn't my bowl of tobacco either

[@HammerandPipe]

@@MillennialCodger people are babies. Sorry you are getting hate for a little roasting.

[@FritzEwert516]

Just give me the critics’ names and I’ll make your problem go away. Mr. Rocco Scungilli and I will pay them a small visit. Also, you may roast me anytime. Whatever you say/show, can’t be any worse than the rolling train wreck that constitutes the original content.

[@TheTunnellTake]

There's some controlling people in this community, that's the dark side, in my opinion. I've got rid of them over time because they found out they can't control me and they leave, which is perfectly fine. How I did that is a lot like you, when I get challenged, I come back harder than when I started. It weeds softies out.

[@MillennialCodger]

@@TheTunnellTake yeah the controlling really gets me going. But, I think some of the other stuff I mentioned is pretty damn dark and just weird. Bye softies.

[@TheLeagueOfTheKeeprsOfTheBriar]

In America being roasted is usually a sign of being some what successful and well liked 🤷‍♂️ yeah man I basically got the same outlook as you on most this stuff. 🤙 stay up!

[@MillennialCodger]

Let’s address the narcissism it takes to sit there are video tape yourself, talking to effing nobody. I got in some trouble a few years ago in a discord channel for bringing this up. Feelings were absolutely hurt. YTPC always been a bunch of weirdo creepers.

[@MillennialCodger]

You're not wrong but I don't think that's necessarily always the case.

[@ThatOneHunterGuy]

That’s a fair assessment. I paint with much broader strokes. It’s easier that way 😊

[@johnnyhoover5870]

I found your videos funny as hell. I watch most of the guys you made fun of. You didn't say anything we all haven't thought. You just did it in a funny way. Keep it up. Hell, my own videos were in the there. Not by name but the non tech videos without editing or anything. I'm old and not into spending time editing and shit.

[@MillennialCodger]

I appreciate it! I don't think there is anything wrong with not editing. It's like old school youtube and I'm all for it!

[@SonoraSlinger]

Ytpc started out seemingly innocent. But now I have seen the true colors. There's a gross level of politics and cult mindset. Personally, I find the hashtag useful. Puts your video in the feed of people who otherwise might not see it. Sucks YT doesn't like pipe smoking vids. I want to make a living smoking my pipe and rambling.

[@MillennialCodger]

hey at least you're honest about it. Once you get really big I'll do a roast video on you too🤣

[@SonoraSlinger]

There are plenty of things that I could mock. It would be an easy script to write. But, I don't like mocking the dead.

[@jeremyvis395]

@@MillennialCodger I think Matches was being his genuine self and wasn't worthy of mockery even when he was alive. There are a handful of YTPC folks like that. NWPipesmoker, London Calling with Simon, Chris Kelly with Eldritch to name a few. Nothing to prove or fake. Just being themselves.

[@MillennialCodger]

@@jeremyvis395 you're probably right. I like nwpipesmoker and Simon. Simon makes some incredibly beautiful pipes and seems like a good guy. I'm not familiar with Chris Kelly. But do not mistake some roasting/mocking for hatred or dislike.

There is some grossness in the YTPC. People talk about the younger generations being snowflakes. LOL. Pipe people pretend to be part of some old tradition but can't roll with parody.
