Pyro didn't show up because he was scared that Coffeezilla would start digging into his inflation collection

[@ericfieldman]

On the surface it wouldn't make sense because he'd probably bring it up either way, but to coffeezilla, Pyro's that doctor who alien that you don't remember until you see it again, and Pyro knew this. Big brain move

[@quoamrossm8892]

@@Manksii Coffeezilla actually does have a vector of attack since he's fucked up royally before but the reason why his haters can't use it against him is because alongside Pyro, he's one of the few people who actually released an actually sincere apology in KZbin, so his detractors can't use the event against him because it only humanizes Coffee even further.

[@bookle5829]

I like the robot. :p

[@DVNGXR]

I dont mind the animated futuristic million dollar studio stuff but I personally dislike the robot bartender specifically. Definitely doesn't add anything and slightly takes away from it with cringe imo. I don't really care but I would vastly prefer just coffee over the robot segments.

[@imthemannn]

@@DVNGXR i agree. i understand hes trying not to take himself too seriously but its a bit too much for me, it feels too scripted and tacky. I prefer the noir lonely self reflection where he figures it out on his own (because he is supposed to be a detective) with context clues, deductive reasoning, etc rather than consulting a lol derpy robot.

[@SaltCane]

​​@@DVNGXRThe robot serves an important role as an audience stand-in to interact with Coffee and offer common questions and advice. For example which happens a lot in Coffee's videos, the robot may ask _"Why didn't you do it this way?"_ or _"Why didn't you call out [Creator] with the current evidence you have?"_ which may be a common question a lot of the audience may have and then Coffee will explain the answer in detail. The robot exists to ask these questions on behalf of the audience. I do agree the comedic use of the robot is a little shallow, but the concept of the character itself is not unnecessary. It does serve a useful role in coffee's videos

[@ForEverydayPeople]

Guys.. imma need more guest reaction clips of ad reads. They're absolutely amazing.

[@OfficialDaveChannel]

Why did Pyro miss this CRAZY Coffeezilla SITUATION

[@StrikeWarlock]

1:15:15 Nerd brought up a great point here that actually has precedent. Recent example being Karl Jobst doing ads on his 2nd episode covering TheCompletionist's allegged donation fraud allegation was a vector of attack for TheCompletionist's defenders, that they were doing the expose to enrich themselves. Edit: DAMN, COFFEEZILLA MAKES THE SAME EXACT POINT A MINUTE AND A HALF LATER!

[@bishopspechulure9821]

To be fair Karl and Mutahar were milking that cow with like 8 videos in the span of a month. If you set yourself up for the criticism it will be made

[@boxtupos7718]

​@@bishopspechulure9821 They both made 1 vid about it; They let loose after The Completionist threatened to sue them lol. He actually begged them and tried to bribe them lol; Both of them felt bad, so they didn't release everything.

[@bishopspechulure9821]

@@boxtupos7718 Go back and check their upload history, they uploaded a ton of videos about it before he responded. I'm not even necessarily saying their claims are wrong, but it IS true they milked the hell out of it.

[@blemishednicely8402]

​​@@bishopspechulure9821 Interesting how that metric seems to apply to Jobst (in the given example) for exposing the scam/"mis-handling" of funds (for, what, a decade or so?), but apparently not to The Completionist for ACTUALLY scamming/"mis-handling" said funds to begin with... Be hard to make any vids (nvm repeated ones) if The Completionist hadn't screwed up to begin with. That would rather obviously invite criticism & those vids exposing it should therefore naturally be expected as a response. ...just saying, I kind of fail to see your point is all~

[@kiarakalasnikov7505]

Wtf people have something against the robot? I like those skits so much

[@StrikeWarlock]

He wasn't kidding about the "cringe" complaint, unfortunately. I remember seeing 2 top rated comments like that in the videos that has the bartender. I just see it as a loud minority.

[@corroded]

I find it adds a bit of levity to usually pretty depressing stuff.

[@DVNGXR]

It doesnt add anything imo and is kind of cringe. I watch for coffee and his amazing journalism not for animated awkward skits. I don't really care, it's not like I skip the robot parts but I would vastly prefer getting any other coffee content instead, whether that be a few more minutes of just coffee or his videos being released literally any earlier.

The whole shipping debacle reminds me of what happened to the Blacklist Games miniatures Kickstarter. The shipping company in Texas eventually allowed people to just pay to have their order shipped directly from the warehouse. Shelf space in a temperature controlled warehouse is worth a LOT of money.

*TLDR* The podcast features a discussion with *Coffeezilla* (real name: Steven) as a special guest. The conversation focuses on Coffeezilla's recent 25-minute video exposing *Ryan* *Piasante*, a manager involved in numerous scandals within the creator space. *Key* *Points* *Discussed:* 1. *Background* *on* *Ryan* *Piasante:* Ryan Piasante was a prolific manager for many creators, particularly in the entertainment industry around 2020-2021. Despite his influential role, many business and personal misconduct allegations have surfaced against him. 2. *Personal* *Experiences* *with* *Piasante:* The hosts share their own encounters with Piasante, highlighting his manipulative and deceptive behavior. One host recounts a Japanese dinner and a car ride with Piasantewhere he exhibited hypocritical and inappropriate behavior. 3. *Piasante's* *Influence* *and* *Misconduct:* Despite his significant influence, many creators were hesitant to speak out against Piasante due to fear of retaliation or financial repercussions. Piasante's financial dealings and the impact of his misconduct on the community are discussed, with particular emphasis on his manipulative tactics and the harm he caused. 4. *Sexual* *Misconduct* *Allegations:* Coffeezilla reveals that many victims of Piasante's sexual misconduct were creators and fans. Some victims were afraid to come forward due to fear of legal repercussions or further harassment. 5. *Financial* *Scams* *and* *Ponzi* *Schemes:* Piasante was involved in various financial scams, including mismanaging merch fulfillment for creators. He promised minimum guarantees to attract top creators but failed to deliver, resulting in significant financial losses. 6. *Community* *Reactions* *and* *Fear* *of* *Lawsuits:* Many creators and business associates remained silent due to fear of being sued by Piasante. This fear, combined with his financial manipulation, allowed Piasante to continue his misconduct for a prolonged period. 7. *Legal* *and* *Financial* *Consequences:* Coffeezilla discusses the potential legal actions and the likelihood of Piasante facing consequences for his actions. He emphasizes the importance of transparency and accountability within the creator space to prevent similar situations in the future. 8. *Call* *for* *Action* *and* *Support:* The discussion ends with a call for more creators to come forward and share their experiences to ensure justice and protect the community from future harm. Throughout the podcast, the hosts and Coffeezilla highlight the need for greater accountability and support within the creator community to combat misconduct and protect vulnerable individuals from exploitation.

[@Eleven11elevenxi]

[@notaweeb4177]

yea i also kind of figured who they were talking about. good on schlatt man, he got fucked but he still doesnt want to disappoint his fans. it also sucks that he was friends with carson and met misfits through carson and minecraft, seems like both of these friend groups ended in some sort of betrayal/breach of trust

[@meatymateo705]

cuz schlatt is just a greedy fuck who doesnt wanna risk his career, thats why he ditched carson and used his cancellation as a launchpad for his own career. if he sought damages and lost, he would be fucked, in his eyes, its not worth the risk. remember that ryan was the manager of lunch club too.
