If you take alot of niacin your body can break down and absorb energy drinks at insane speeds. So he can drink all that red bull and coffee then he ramps his body up into a state where he can absorb it all and get super hyper and he has to keep taking them or he will crash.

Out of about 5000, there was ONE LEFT still running. That one was in the showroom, the sole survivor after 3 years. There were donuts fryers of which NOT ONE had lasted more than 6 months. These were ALL COMMERCIAL cooking equipment. All utter crap. We had an oven that was like $30,000 and one blew up within WEEKS from new.

@@strangebrew1231 well erik hayden and andrew ruse were both friends with charls from childhood. Sam and nick were friends since childhood. Makes sense the groups would come together this way after the the entire scene got the rug snatched from under their feet. In fact charls originally worked as a mason for erik's company irl back when everyone in the MDE crew still had jobs and were doing skits during their freetime. Out of everyone Sam and Andrew are doing the best. Sam has grown his independent operation well into the 7 figure income brackets and employs like 10 full time people for editing and filming etc. Andrew has been climbing the hollywood ladder and directing more and more mainstream stuff for big dollars. Nick has been independently wealthy for years so his passive income to be in Sam's material isn't really needed anymore he does it because he enjoys making comedy. Erik Hayden has had a very successful construction company for many years. Started it way before ever doing anything MDE related. Charls works at this same company and makes a modest amount on the side from patron's and his small fiercely loyal social media following who pay monthly subscription fees to have access to his "charlsworld" site. I used to sub to his site but he has very very little in terms of content and usually just promises to make new stuff "next month" but never actually following thru. It seems without Sam and Nick to bounce ideas off of Charls just procrastinates and produces very disjointed nonsense that isn't funny in the same way MDE classic is. His material is the definition of schizo-posting and really only makes me laugh when he seems to be doing a character bit based on those self help guru types of crackpots online 😂 unfortunately over time it has become apparent that it isn't a bit or character and Charls really is just a manic schizo at his core.

The most relatable was when he looked at himself in the rear view mirror, i used to do this in the morning, to have so much hatred for yourself you can’t stand the sight of yourself. in bigger mirrors i would always flip myself off

[@iannordin5250]

@@nnggghhaa3709 100% depends if you have the gift and luck on your side. Hard work is simply an automatic requirement but not a key to success. The guys who succeed and live well have a natural instict for business and, most importantly, are in the good grace of good company, i.e they have good employees/partners and rock solid relationships with investors and benificiaries. Hard work is a part of owning a business, but having the right skillset, product, and employee base turns the work from a nightmarish mountain of floundering stress into something navigatable and fulfilling. CEOs and founders aren't workaholics because they like crappy work, they're workaholics because they're good at what they do and the work they do is inherently fun for them because they succeed in it. Basically: if you start with a good product, a good plan, and know the right people, starting a business is the best journy one can undertake. If your product isn't competetive, if you lack a vision, and don't know how to choose good people, you are going to end up like Eric

Bro got so mad his Mercedes turned into a Buick

[@GlassesAndCoffeeMugs]

I like this bit because it's just nothing, just some guy going about his day but so rattled constantly that it's unsettling. Strangely relatable

[@DarienDrakee]

*read the update at the bottom* My last employer was this exact character, except he lived it. Every. single. day. I always wondered how you could hate a job so much but keep coming back for more. So I asked him, he said he needs the pay cheque. Eventually the day drinking to make it through the day combined with undiagnosed diabetes and other health issues caught up with him and he had a heart attack. He left the job shortly after. *Edit* just an update, I had an ex-coworker call me yesterday. He asked what the last time I talked to the (last employer) I said quite awhile ago. Anyway turns out (the last employer) has been given 18 months to live due to kidney failure and other stuff. So that's pretty crappy, but puts life into perspective, make sure what you doing is really worth your time and effort. If it's not for you, that's ok no need to be there.

[@joshyc2006]

Ah man, the bit where he downs the red bull and coffee...too relatable. I've gotten to the point of drinking half a litre of coldbrew concentrate in the mornings before work...I don't day drink but being in a stressful job that isn't a good fit, and making it fit...it's rough, but it's something I fell into, kept getting promoted because I work hard, but didn't really choose it. But before you know it you're hyper specialised for that role, you have 5 years in an industry, a mortgage and at 30 it's not just as simple as sacking it off and being prepared to start at the bottom somewhere, it becomes a vicious cycle!

Still blows my mind one of my favorite artists (RIP) was used for a skit like this, fucking fascinating. Also MDE guys clearly have sublime taste in music.

[@JohnDoe-ul7sm]

I always loved how he’s in traffic in a Mercedes but pulls up in a Buick. Is it a statement as to how we see ourselves or just a continuity error? Hell if I know but I love this skit

His hair and attitude changes entirely too so I highly doubt it's a continuity error.

My interpretation was that he starts the vid as a wageslave in the middle of his corporate ascent and then halfway thru the commute it cuts to him some years later when he’s climbed to CEO and traded in for a sterile, practical family vehicle along the way.
