I'm Shaming My Hometown And So Should You!

happy bday mom

This perfectly captures the mess that is local politics, and the need for folks to get involved to make change ✊

[@MrSaxokeet]

Another impeccable video ❤love u bro

[@nalon5493]

I watched this whole video without reading the views or your sub count, and oh man you could’ve told me any number (in the MILLIONS) and I would’ve believed it, because this video was that good. Millions should be watching videos like this, it’s what going to save us and our local communities. Thank you 😊

[@binch6291]

I have no idea why this came up in my recommendations but I’m glad it did. My fiance grew up in Saginaw, and it has a small enough profile beyond the locals that I rarely see anything about it. Already love your content based on this video, so I guess I know what I’m watching today. Ty for expressing the general resentment about the state of things a lot of us feel without it turning into common pessimism.

I struggle to understand the thought process of basically gluing an outdoor monument together. It is frustrating to be consistently embarrassed by the actions and inaction of your home town.

[@NickolasNameolas]

I cannot tell you how validating it is to have a dude who knows how to put stuff together comment this. Thanks homie

[@AshleyKScott]

Why does it look like a bus stop?? Couldn't even shell out for a rock.

[@NickolasNameolas]

Good observation 🤣🤣🤣

[@PalehorseThirteen]

A few comments here: First off, I am also from Saginaw, seen that rock, and thought it was super weird! Thank you for doing what you could about it, sorry it didn't turn out the way you hoped, and hope something better can be done in the future. Secondly, I know Dave! We went to high school together! The Griddle was his little project back then, and it's awesome it's still kicking around after more than a decade.

Great video. Thank you for the well organized presentation and conversation. A friend sent me here and I appreciate your work already! I will subscribe and share this with family.

[@notablenothing2912]

Happy bday mom!

[@zagi947]

Commenting for the algorithm, great stuff! Really like how you cover a wide array of topics but still try to connect all your videos

[@ucf8290]

Sorry but I think the Stevie Wonder Rock is hilarious hahaha Happy birthday to your mom btw!

[@honeyxsmacks]

🥲Thank you. I will stay Nasty. I have such a twisted love for that city. Though I've been in Chicago the past 10 years. Really nice to know there there is some cool stuff going on these days. Will for sure check out the yoga next time I'm back

[@NickolasNameolas]

Oh dang, I lived in Chicago for like 16 years

[@rachthefrog]

My family is from Saginaw. Im in and grew up in Metro Detroit tho, but I go a lot to visit. I had no idea about the rock until the discourse about it came up, but unfortunately wasnt surprising. Im a somewhat recent subscriber, so was very surprised to see a video about Saginaw lol. It's cool to see local action though!

[@DavidMajors]

I found you on tiktok and since subscribing, I knew. My Michigander sense was tingling from the jump.

[@Dork2099]

I absolutely love this energy. 🔥

[@shaggythewriter8185]

Getting involved in Michigan= "that could have gone better" Getting involved in Ohio= "but there's no charge why am I being arrested?!"

[@NickolasNameolas]

@@shaggythewriter8185 oof!

[@shaggythewriter8185]

@@NickolasNameolas all of the rural areas south of a certain point are dominated by political machines and you physically can't drive through any of these communities without a speed trap or multiple speed traps. If you kiss enough ass, you may get promoted; but if you complain they find ways to ruin your life. This is Ohio...

[@kahlilbt]

Whoa... My daddy lives on the border with flint and i never knew

[@400PlusFilms]

Happy birthday to your mom!

[@Junksaint]

Marginalizing a monument to marginalized people...

[@TheEverGrowingRosey-333]

I am also from the southeast Michigan area, so I appreciate this video especially. Commenting to boost algorithm. So that stone isn’t even dedicated to the town founder (that would make more sense) just the first white dude to show up? Edited: I finished the video, wow not even the actual first anything. wtf.

[@bjgallardo]

Man you deserve to be PAID for your content. Just started watching and every video has been dope af. Keep at it homie, content is next level.

[@feloniousbutterfly]

Anyone who doesnt take this seriously doesnt understand the importance of symbolism.

[@357rbdee]

I'll be thinking about the end of this video for a while. How does a person go about ordering a bust of themselves?

[@somegirlasmr]

Just found this channel and fell in love with it and I could have never in a trillion years guessed you were from my city. The first thing I said when I clicked the first video I watched from you was “This look like someone I know,” And now I’m terrified out of my mind. What the fuck.

[@NickolasNameolas]

@@somegirlasmr Yooo! Welcome!

0:43 the way my jaw dropped.

Hey man, if you need to hawk cellphones on your monitized videos I'll consider buying one.

[@indigosnow_]

🫡 will do

[@sethnajmon5163]

The link to critical Kate doesn't seem to work FYI

[@NickolasNameolas]

Thanks! I’ll fix it

[@JB-fp3fb]

Bro, was it you or KZbin that deleted my comment regarding getting rid of the rock direct action-style? I was really interested in the topic of the video (and wanted to signal that to The Algorithm by engaging), but when I couldn't trace my way back here via my comment I thought the whole video must have been taken down.

[@NickolasNameolas]

I haven’t removed any comments from this video

[@JB-fp3fb]

@@NickolasNameolas Huh. I wonder what exactly I said that KZbin didn't like then. If they're going to automatically scan for naughty words or whatever, I wish they'd at least give us the list of what they are. Also my original comment was asking how risky it would be for private individual/s to deal with the rock vigilante-style, since official channels continue to fail the people of Saginaw. I've never been there, but from your video it looks as though that part of the park wouldn't be very visible at night.

[@NickolasNameolas]

@@JB-fp3fb I’ll say it’s been discussed…
