I think the Cat Distribution Program is the biggest MLM. They have the largest downline for Cat Ladies! You only look into getting one cat, decide not to, then you get a pregnant stray on your doorstep who, a short time later, produces five to six more recruits (kittens) in her downline.
Yay! You got to mine with my autistic son. And just to update, the twins are about to turn 4 and are the sweetest surprise addition to our family. Not going to pretend 5 kids doesn’t overwhelm me a lot, but my sweet boys are my little snuggle bugs and keep us all laughing. Erika
I was wondering what happened with the twins. Great to see the update here. I've got autism and ADHD too and it runs in our family. My father has it too. How's your son dealing with the twins though? My brother had twins three years ago and I couldn't handle being with them for more than a couple hours at a time because I got impulse overload. They've got three kids now and I've got a feeling they're done, at least for a while.
@@ammalyrical5646 he’s doing very well overall. He’s a wonderful big brother. Obviously he has his moments, but we had already put strategies in place to help him with noise issues before the twins were born. All my kids love each other and coming from the awful abusive house I did, my husband and I have worked very hard to create that and make sure our home is loving and safe. He was heavily bullied last year in school and we got him into therapy immediately and that helped him tremendously. He’s not one for physical touch, but he shows his love in other ways when he remembers (hey, he’s 13). Erika
@@Sewingistherapy nice. when my sister was born I wasn't diagnosed yet so no help for me, but I also was 4 so it's kinda different anyway. Now she's pregnant and my brother has 3 kids. I don't plan on getting any. I love kids, but caring for my own on my own doesn't sound appealing (neither does parenting together with someone else). I am one for physical touch though. Just not all kinds. If it's too soft it just irks me. But physical touch is one of my main love languages :) Which I didn't know at age 13 and didn't have space for anyway. My homelife wasn't the best either. Part of that was an undiagnosed father (ADHD and autism too and some other issues, we suspect). I'm so happy you have put in the effort to give your kids a stable and loving home. Instability and fear is no good way to raise a kid.
I appreciate how honest you were about the “surprise” element of the twins, parents aren’t always given the space to feel anything but absolute joy, oftentimes. I love that it all seems to be working out for you, even though I can image it’s difficult. Much love!
To the bug farmer: Feather babies eat bugs also! Get on your local backyard poultry pages if you're looking for more customers. My ducks eat mass quantities of Dubias and crickets for training and treats and often the local reptile stores are out. Although I stopped feeding them Dubias because they're so cute, I felt bad. (I love bugs.)
Cutco guy really put his actual blood, sweat, and tears into that sale... and it was successful! Poor guy! So glad his finger was able to be reattached. What an absolute nightmare for everyone involved! 😂
Imagine how many people avoid MLMs all because of cutco guy. “Yeah I joined an mlm and severed my finger the first day… they put it back on so I decided to stick to pharmacy” the literal horror😭😂
as an autistic adult i thank you and the woman who sent the story, for your words and explanation against the hurtful misconception that we need "a cure". our condition has been so vilanized that i didnt even get the chance to be diagnosed at a young age and was robbed of the support and understanding i should have had growing up. i hope, in the future, young girls can have what i was denied and can live a better, more accepting life. thanks for your contribution!
ADHD adult here. I completely agree. I certainly wouldn’t mind seeing better resources out there for the more severely impacted members of the neurodivergent community, but I’ve never once felt like I needed curing. No one should ever be made to feel like they (or their kids) do either.
I don't need a cure, I just needed help learning what comes naturally to others as far as what is socially appropriate and what isn't! It's okay my mind works differently. It makes me really good at auditing and I thrive in structure. 😁
For the individuals with a form of severe autism who cannot speak, understand others, take direction, cannot bathe themselves, cannot use a bathroom without assistance, need help with many daily tasks and cannot survive without help from their parents or carers until their death, I would argue a "cure" would be helpful if it were at all possible. Somebody like yourself who is clearly able-bodied and aware enough to use and have conversations with people on a computer doesn't need to be "cured."
"I'm going to hell for saying that," says the most composed, egalitarian, family-friendly anti-MLM creator on the platform. 😅 Girl, you are so welcome to deliver the gallows humor and sass. It's so infrequent that it's like finding a chocolate chip in an oatmeal raisin cookie: an indulgent surprise in an already delicious treat. 💖
My sister's boyfriend (at the time) was doing his first Cutco demo for my mom. He cut himself badly enough to need stitches. My mom bought his demo kit for a discount. He quit selling knives.
I was listening to this video on my phone which was plugged in, in my kitchen and on my counter beside my hallway. I got super spooked by the meowing that sounded like it was coming down the hallway beside my phone, since my cat was sitting right beside me. I thought the freaking grudge was coming to get me until you spoke to your cat lmao!!
I love the bug farm business idea! The story they shared was hilarious too, this email was a gem. i used to farm mealworms for my pet reptile and for my stepdad's homemade fishing bait, its honestly really easy and fun. I diy-ed a three tier system with a mesh filter to automatically sort the eggs out of the beetles, so it barely even needed maintainance. I never considered selling them, but i always had more than we needed. Props to this person for being such a unique, creative individual, and for putting themselves out there in such a niche market. I hope their business did well!!
Aye! I've been excitedly anticipating the cutco story I shared. I often listen to your videos while I work on other things but as soon as I recognized the story I had to stop and just watch your reaction! 😂
Hannah...the Cutco story!!! I sold Cutco for one summer. I was at my great aunt and uncle's house doing a demo, and my great uncle was obsessed with the scissors cutting a penny. He grabbed the scissors from me, dumped out an old coffee can of pennies, and started cutting them. At some point, he cut that piece of skin between your thumb and your hand. So. Much. Blood. At the end of the summer, a bunch of sat around at bar before going back to school and swapped bloody Cutco stories. It was pretty gross and very hilarious.
Wow, there could be a whole channel of "bloody Cutco horror stories"! or at least one long video of them! That's hilarious! I'd make him pay me back for the cut pennies, too! What on earth were you supposed to do with them? Why wasn't one enough for him to make his point? Sounds like he just really enjoyed cutting pennies?
Oh my gosh, so was cutting a penny in half a thing? When I was really young I remember a cutco rep coming by and I INSISTED that they cut the penny before my eyes (I was like 8 maybe? Don't know). Is that a thing they sell on?
the cutco knife scene literally happens in it's always sunny in Philadelphia. it's the Great Recession episode, danny devito nearly slices his finger off while giving a knife demonstration
I took in my grandson when everything shutdown so I could help him with online school. ADHD, autistic spectrum, and on medication for epilepsy. Also a teenager, fun for all. And he brought his gecko (Rusty). I often use aromatherapy and essential oils, but worried about the consequence to the gecko. This led me down a crazy path. Aromatherapy can cause seizures in people have something like epilepsy. And can be dangerous (if not deadly) not just for reptiles but also birds, cats and dogs. I had no idea. The essential oil people never told me that! I emailed you once about this: don't care if you share my story, but if you can help me spread the word of the danger to animals, along with people subject to seizures that would be great. Long story short: he just graduated high school, I learned a lot about algebra, geometry and world history, and I may never use aromatherapy again. Even candles make me a bit nervous.
i learned about this a couple years ago and was able to convince my mom to stop buying those bath & body works wall plug-ins because they have essential oils in them. they were also just so strong and gave me headaches but i was really concerned about my, at the time, 2 dogs
I'm a lab specialist at a pharmacological development lab, so I quite literally cannot work from home, since the cells we use to produce antibodies won't feed and count themselves. I love my job though, honestly the few times I was stuck at home I was just about to scratch at walls after two weeks. I don't know how MLM huns think that everyone wants to work from home.
A couple of those really made my throat get kind of tight and tense. There's just something about a Kirby rep invading your sacred space that makes me legit angry. I'm really surprised the person didn't try to come back days later, though. I guess some people still have tact and decorum! I think it's funny how so many people downplay their own stories for not being "crazy enough," but the way you can turn every single one into a valuable experience is really validating for us all. Thank you!
I'm sorry, but if some random guy tries to enter my home by putting his foot in the door, he's getting a spray of extra-hot pepper to the face and a phone call to the police. I would seriously think he was some kind of serial killer masquerading as a salesperson.
If I was that female police officer, I would have given them a ticket. That lady was disrespectful af! Holy Moses, I can't imagine the balls it takes to try and recruit a police officer in the middle of being pulled over.
If you aren't being paid or your paycheck bounces, please complain to your state's attorney generals office and the Department of Labor. This just irritates the mess out of me. Therre are laws to protect employees. Sounds like they were treating their employees like their wives treated their downlines!
I would bet that at least some of the money that the restaurant was taking in was being funneled into this MLM business be it to buy her rank, pay for shows/conferences/etc. The whole thing sounds even shadier than just what was plainly said. This lady wasn't successful because of her MLM business was successful, she was "successful" because her husband wasn't paying his employees/vendors and instead giving the money to his wife.
Ohhh my the Curby Rep.... my son had them knock on his door and they spent over 3 hours at his home. I asked him why he did this and his response, no lie, was "They were cleaning my hous for free" I died laughing.nhe had no intention of buying but got 3 hours of their time and free maid service.
I was just talking to a friend of mine about these videos and mentioned the curby stories. She said she wants them to show up at her place now so they can clean the house for her haha 😂
My cousin sold Cutco briefly straight out of college, 20 years ago. I spared him the uncomfortable sales pitch and just bought a knife. He left Cutco within weeks and is now an architect. I didn't know Cutco was a slimy MLM...but my knife still cuts like no other. Their product is/was great - too bad they suck as a company.
Same but daughter. She wanted to try it and I’m like good luck here I’ll buy your starter kit but if you quit it belongs to me 😂 that was like 20 years ago. Mlm or whatever the knives have outlasted most ones at the same cost.
i love zekes “happy spot” lol! i live for your videos, it feels like being to talked to by a friend! also as a nuerodivergent person, listening to stories and focusing on following the words is perfect for grounding and distraction when i’m anxious
Honestly you're my fav anti MLM content creator. You approach it as a teacher with kindness, empathy, factual information and calm assertiveness. It's the exact approach for this kind of content. Thank you!
One of the things I love about you and your channel is the aside you took regarding ADHD/Autism. Your compassion really shows when you take those moments to stop and reflect. Keep you your good work. Love, light, and Band-aids to the Cutco guy. The knives are so good, you barely notice an amputation
I'm pretty sure Cutco/Vector circulated a clipboard trying to get people to sign up with them in my 500-person first year chem class. Everything they promised was too good to be true - no experience necessary, make $18/hr starting, potential to move up in the company - and it felt weird, so I didn't go for it, but I'm sure they got their hooks into some vulnerable, broke freshmen. So predatory.
I love your videos. After a story, you said something about how Reps will bash your job, your life, etc. and my brain sarcastically finished the sentence with, "But, There's an MLM to fix that!"
That first story reminded me of when I worked at Movie Gallery. It was my job that day to call and remind people about late movies/games. This was my third call, when the lady answered I was super polite and asked if the renter was home, she said no, so I asked if she could remind them that their disc was late. She stated crying and yelled at me that he had passed. He was very young and it was a tragic accident. I felt awful. After that I had huge anxiety around that part of my job. When I hung up I wrote off that disc so they wouldn't receive any letters or be sent to collections.
Can I just commend you for being so kind and making sure that family didn't get hounded during such a difficult time? Sometimes when you're in customer service hell you forget that you can actually make people's lives better, too, even though you generally only hear from the customers whose day's you've "ruined"
Wow! I had no idea Kirby was an MLM. My mom had one of those monstrous metal garbage vacuums with the constant stinky burnt belts. I vaguely remember being around 5 or 6 when a rude salesperson dumped a cup of dirt on our living room floor and vacuumed it up. I'm now questioning my childhood R2D2 looking Rainbow brand vacuum.
Yep, I got into Cutco for about 5 minutes as a recent high school grad when there weren't any regular jobs available (yay recessions). My parents bought the only set I sold. My dad, whose skin was so tough he had trouble getting blood drawn at the doctor's, filleted his thumb on one of the regular table knives just putting it in the dishwasher with the wrong side up. Say what you want about the program, those knives were sharp.
I just got my autism diagnosis last month at 24 years old. I’ve struggled all my life trying to make myself fit in without accommodations. Now with my diagnosis, I’m making all the accommodations i can for myself with no regrets and I’ve never been happier. I’m so glad you read an excerpt from the email regarding curing autism. Autism isn’t a disease that requires curing. Even as an undiagnosed autistic person myself, i had A LOT of deconstructing of stereotypes to do when i realized i might be autistic. I had a lot of learning to do about myself. It absolutely infuriates me now when huns try to peddle their gimmicky MLM products with unfounded health claims about curing autism and other conditions.
I was 40 when diagnosed. Still on the learning and unlearning process, but it has been so reaffirming to know why I always felt different and had trouble fitting in and realizing I wasn’t “broken” just different and different isn’t bad.
Chatty Zeke and cool Cooper are adorable. My brother briefly joined Cutco, sold knives and scissors to my parents and left. At least, he didn’t cut himself.
i just wanted to say that bc of these videos i can spot mlm reps on instagram so fast. i never understood before watching these that it was a scam! i’m so grateful that these you make these so that we are all more aware of this and don’t get roped in ❤️
As a fellow person with ADHD and Autism, I can agree that we definitely think differently. Do we have struggles? Absolutely. But that doesn't indicate what we can and can't do. I'm a school counselor and mental health counselor, and I'll be finished with my PhD in December. Adhd and Autism doesn't need to be scary or bad. It can be beautiful if approached from a strengths based perspective.
I've seen a story about a guy who was selling knives between high school and collage and cut his hand very badly. He then sold a set of knives to the doctor who stitched him up after the doctor commented on how cleanly the knife had cut him.
I’ve had a really rough day with my toddler and seeing that you posted a new video brought me genuinely giddiness and joy 🥹 I think I’m addicted 😂 keep it up 😊
I was just at my nephews baseball game and we went to go say bye after the game and a lady was talking to my sister in law and I immediately noticed her Monat black leather backpack. I thought to myself Hannah would be screaming silently right now 🤣 I just had to share that with you.
Thank you for sharing the email from the person who has autism and ADHD. I am autistic and very likely have ADHD as well (just haven't gotten tested yet) and she makes an excellent point about our capitalist society being super focused on productivity. It's not that I am lazy, I work hard at my job, but I don't want my job to be my whole life. I CAN'T have my job be my whole life. Before I started working from home, I would have to take long weekends every other week because I was constantly overstimulated and could not function. I never had any PTO because I had to use it to recover from being around people. I've never been pitched an MLM, but whenever it does happen, I can't wait to say to them regarding "time freedom" and all their BS as sounding like an absolute nightmare.
My daughter is an aircraft mechanic in the Navy. At times, she is so busy that she can’t even call! 12 hours of work 7 days a week is a regular thing for them! I was prior Navy myself, so I can understand the small amount of time you actually have leftover. There’s laundry, studying, and all the other military requirements involved! The amount of sleep you get is extremely tiny! I would have honestly cursed the Monat lady out!
I cut my finger doing one of my first Cutco demos when I was 19. I was naive and sold Cutco for one summer. Maybe I’ll submit my story one of these days. Years later I also joined Primerica… but quit right after becoming certified to sell life insurance when I realized what I was really getting into. I had an “oh crap this is going to be just like Vector Marketing” moment and quit before I even started doing any demos. Thank you for spreading anti MLM awareness.
My dad bought that stupid $2,000 vacuum 🤦🏼♀️ it was the heaviest piece of junk... I don't think it ever even really got used. Threw that piece of junk and it's 12,000 attachments away recently. All that money down the drain.
I love listning to this, when I´m cooking or baking. Thank you Hannah for doing this, and educating us on this topic....and I´m here for the Zeke/Cooper-appearance * LOL* I really love kitties
I run my own stationery shop and I’m just dying for a MLM person to message me and ask me if I want to run my own business, work from home, and make my own hours 😂
The bug farm reminded me of my hometown in south Georgia. One of, if not the most, lucrative businesses in this small, rural town is a cricket farm. I always assumed they supplied the fishing industry, but I wonder how much of their business was for scale babies. 🤔
Oh my goodness. Phew! I was waiting to have an aneurism, thinking that first story was going to end up with the Curvy Vacuum lady barreling past the daughter and forcing her way in to hold a grieving family hostage with her demonstration during the _worst time!!!_
I'm so glad your channel was recommended to me a couple months ago. You're definitely a favorite anti-mlm channel of mine, because you're so respectful of the people who have been harmed by mlms.
I honestly wouldn't be shocked if the restaurant owner wasn't bankrolling or rank buying for his 'hun wife. That might be part of why the restaurant finances were so sketchy.
I got sucked into Cutco. I was in college and was desperate for a job that was flexible. I got a six dollar check and I quit. They told me that I would get paid hourly plus commission. That was a lie.
I fell prey to cutco when I was 18. Sold one set. He still uses it to this day and they honored the lifetime warranty when one of the handles broke off. Great knifes. Bad company
Thank you so much for reading that portion about autism and ADHD. My son was diagnosed and I learned about a year after his diagnosis that it was hereditary which was something I'd never thought about. I wondered if that would explain why I was "different" my whole life And was diagnosed with ADHD inattentive type and autism (what was previously known as Asperger's for some)
Hannah early congrats on 45K because you will undoubtedly be there when I come back lol Great video as always and I do love that part about there is nothing wrong with neuro-divergent people. I am as well and I think its my superpower. I can see things in a different way than most which I love.
I sold cutco in college. I was horrid at it but 20 yrs later still love the set I bought to demo on. And Kirby. Well I was in the 2nd or 3rd grade a guy came to demo. I wasn't feeling well and vomited all over our carpeted kitchen. My mom said that if he would clean it that she would buy it. 30 some years later she still had it and loved it and would probably still have it but it is now to heavy for her fragile frame.
I got a vector marketing ad at the end of the video. I promptly proceeded to report it to Google, stating that it is a scam and why. This is honestly the first time I've ever been advertised any sort of MLM products.
I completely relate to story 6. I have known about MLMs for a long time and I had heard about the basics of them but I had no idea what they were actually like. In 2018 I decided to try doing craft events for my own products that I personally handmade. From what I remember about half of the booths were from an MLM and that’s when my distain for them started because I thought it was bullshit that something like that was even allowed to set up at an event that was supposed to be for small business handmade crafters. I have been binging your videos ever since I found your channel and I am FLOORED at reality of these cults!
when huns say "it's not a pyramid scheme, those are illegal" I think of this picture from club peguin of a player saying "What do you mean, someone's murdering you? That's illegal!"
About to start the video, and the first thing I thought of was that scene from the Simpsons where Homer had to take up several temporary jobs and there was a short scene where he went door to door selling knives. When an old lady answered the door, you then see her scream, and Homer then tells himself, "Handle first, handle first." xD
This is an old video but wanted to chime in - my ex-boyfriend had the same Cutco mishap during a demo before we dated. Even worse - I think it was a demo at an actual store, maybe Costco?? Crazy!!
I love your comment on autism. I am on the spectrum, and although it has been difficult at times, it has also been a gift in many ways. Turns out the obsessive focus is exactly what grad schools are looking for and my difficulties in understanding "common sense" behaviour is the source of both economic intuition and interesting research questions (I study behavioural science.
Hannah- I don't know if you have ever mentioned this, but, as you know, the MLM "award car" is actually a lease IN YOUR NAME, paid monthly by the MLM, IF you meet the monthly quota. If not, you have to pay the lease. If you fail to pay the lease, the vehicle is repossessed and it is reflected on your credit worthiness scale even for years after you've left the MLM.
I JUST learned from your videos that Kirby is an mlm and my mom has one sitting in her closet lmao. I remember the guy showing up at our door and he really sold it. I didn't know what mlms were back then but now it all makes sense. He said they're a special company that only does door to door sales to keep it like a family lol he also said it's a vacuum for life that I can inherit 🥴
My daughter was diagnosed as ADD at age 5 and the low doses of medication the doctor prescribed really did help her. I homeschooled her and her older siblings so I could really tell the difference. It helped her not to be distracted by everything she hears and focus. When she was a teenager, she wanted to stop the medication because even though no one outside the family knew, it was none of their business, it made her feel like she was different than everyone else. I allowed her to make her own decision, yet I have always told her there is nothing wrong with her, her brain just works differently than some others. I told her God made her the way she was for a reason, and she should be who she is. Fast forward 15 years. She is happily married and expecting her first child. She has a Masters in speech pathology and works with children in her job and in her church and all the children love her and her boss loves the way her brain works so much that she has helped to reorganize many parts of the agency she works for. I pray each person with ADD or ADHD finds who they are and their place in this world as she has.
Me too! The last story was mine and it’s my oldest that has been diagnosed. I didn’t think to include a whole bunch more in the email because I was focusing on the story. But he’s 13 now and he’s doing wonderful. Throughout elementary school and middle so far he’s been surrounded by so many amazing people who have helped him and love on him. He got the president’s award in 5th for keeping honor roll all the way through elementary. He’s a wonderful big brother to all 4 of the others. Obviously, we all have moments and his younger sister puts him in his place sometimes when he starts what we call, bulldozing over them. As a parent, I’ve learned so much. Erika
As someone who has Autism and severe ADHD, it's really nice seeing a big youtuber like yourself platform a message of that Autistic people don't need fixing. I watch a loooot of videos on youtube (as I need the constant feed of information in order to keep my brain from twirling itself into spaghetti from anxiety thought spirals while I do a variety of creative work) and the amount of casual ableism I see on otherwise good channels can start getting to me at times. It's refreshing to see support of Autistic people's self-determination. Thank you.
Hannah: ‘At least the knives were really sharp and effective…?!’ My face: 🤭😯🤭😏 Thank you Hannah for always looking for the positive in any situation! 😅
Omg! Can you PLEASE do a video on the ‘MLM Reality Show’ I’d love to hear your take on it! Love your content it’s on a constant background binge in my life. 🖤🖤🖤
PSA: No, I did not grow up in a cult. The person who wrote in Story 7 grew up in a cult. I think maybe my phrasing was confusing, sorry about that!
Thanks for clarifying, I was wondering 😁
Zeke is so passionate about saving people from scams - my kind of cat 😸
Yes, our favorite anti-MLM mascot... T-shirts with Zeke saying "My Mama says just say no to MLM"s." 😁❤️🐱👕

For the individuals with a form of severe autism who cannot speak, understand others, take direction, cannot bathe themselves, cannot use a bathroom without assistance, need help with many daily tasks and cannot survive without help from their parents or carers until their death, I would argue a "cure" would be helpful if it were at all possible.
Somebody like yourself who is clearly able-bodied and aware enough to use and have conversations with people on a computer doesn't need to be "cured."

Girl, you are so welcome to deliver the gallows humor and sass. It's so infrequent that it's like finding a chocolate chip in an oatmeal raisin cookie: an indulgent surprise in an already delicious treat. 💖
My sister's boyfriend (at the time) was doing his first Cutco demo for my mom. He cut himself badly enough to need stitches. My mom bought his demo kit for a discount. He quit selling knives.
No better way to demonstrate the sharpness of a knife than to cut your finger off lol most intense sales pitch ever.
Metal af
"AUTISTIC CHILDREN ARE NOT BROKEN" Thank you!
Hahahhaa "Zeke you're being so loud"
Zeke " MEOOOOWWW" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍😍😍
I was listening to this video on my phone which was plugged in, in my kitchen and on my counter beside my hallway. I got super spooked by the meowing that sounded like it was coming down the hallway beside my phone, since my cat was sitting right beside me. I thought the freaking grudge was coming to get me until you spoke to your cat lmao!!
I love the bug farm business idea! The story they shared was hilarious too, this email was a gem.
i used to farm mealworms for my pet reptile and for my stepdad's homemade fishing bait, its honestly really easy and fun. I diy-ed a three tier system with a mesh filter to automatically sort the eggs out of the beetles, so it barely even needed maintainance. I never considered selling them, but i always had more than we needed. Props to this person for being such a unique, creative individual, and for putting themselves out there in such a niche market. I hope their business did well!!
Love how much Zeke has to say about it! 😻
He was definitely opinionated today 😸😸🤣🤣
Aye! I've been excitedly anticipating the cutco story I shared. I often listen to your videos while I work on other things but as soon as I recognized the story I had to stop and just watch your reaction! 😂
Hannah...the Cutco story!!! I sold Cutco for one summer. I was at my great aunt and uncle's house doing a demo, and my great uncle was obsessed with the scissors cutting a penny. He grabbed the scissors from me, dumped out an old coffee can of pennies, and started cutting them. At some point, he cut that piece of skin between your thumb and your hand. So. Much. Blood. At the end of the summer, a bunch of sat around at bar before going back to school and swapped bloody Cutco stories. It was pretty gross and very hilarious.
Wow, there could be a whole channel of "bloody Cutco horror stories"! or at least one long video of them! That's hilarious!
I'd make him pay me back for the cut pennies, too! What on earth were you supposed to do with them? Why wasn't one enough for him to make his point? Sounds like he just really enjoyed cutting pennies?
Oh my gosh, so was cutting a penny in half a thing? When I was really young I remember a cutco rep coming by and I INSISTED that they cut the penny before my eyes (I was like 8 maybe? Don't know). Is that a thing they sell on?
@@PiousPallasAthene yes the scissors really do cut a penny. it's pretty cool.
the cutco knife scene literally happens in it's always sunny in Philadelphia. it's the Great Recession episode, danny devito nearly slices his finger off while giving a knife demonstration
then immediately goes to hang himself in the bathroom 🤣
I took in my grandson when everything shutdown so I could help him with online school. ADHD, autistic spectrum, and on medication for epilepsy. Also a teenager, fun for all. And he brought his gecko (Rusty). I often use aromatherapy and essential oils, but worried about the consequence to the gecko. This led me down a crazy path. Aromatherapy can cause seizures in people have something like epilepsy. And can be dangerous (if not deadly) not just for reptiles but also birds, cats and dogs. I had no idea. The essential oil people never told me that! I emailed you once about this: don't care if you share my story, but if you can help me spread the word of the danger to animals, along with people subject to seizures that would be great. Long story short: he just graduated high school, I learned a lot about algebra, geometry and world history, and I may never use aromatherapy again. Even candles make me a bit nervous.
I did not know about the possible seizure triggering! Thank you
smells can hurt autistics too :( i hope you checked with him that it was ok to use them around him.
i learned about this a couple years ago and was able to convince my mom to stop buying those bath & body works wall plug-ins because they have essential oils in them. they were also just so strong and gave me headaches but i was really concerned about my, at the time, 2 dogs
Chatty Zeke is my absolute favorite and the way you get so excited to see your cats is the sweetest
Wait but which license did they need for their bug farm, I'm invested haha
Right? Like what all does that involve
I'm a lab specialist at a pharmacological development lab, so I quite literally cannot work from home, since the cells we use to produce antibodies won't feed and count themselves. I love my job though, honestly the few times I was stuck at home I was just about to scratch at walls after two weeks. I don't know how MLM huns think that everyone wants to work from home.
A couple of those really made my throat get kind of tight and tense. There's just something about a Kirby rep invading your sacred space that makes me legit angry. I'm really surprised the person didn't try to come back days later, though. I guess some people still have tact and decorum! I think it's funny how so many people downplay their own stories for not being "crazy enough," but the way you can turn every single one into a valuable experience is really validating for us all. Thank you!
I'm sorry, but if some random guy tries to enter my home by putting his foot in the door, he's getting a spray of extra-hot pepper to the face and a phone call to the police. I would seriously think he was some kind of serial killer masquerading as a salesperson.
If I was that female police officer, I would have given them a ticket. That lady was disrespectful af! Holy Moses, I can't imagine the balls it takes to try and recruit a police officer in the middle of being pulled over.
agreed
Honestly it’s a lot of audacity 😅
Trying to recruit her, and then making a sexist comment about her career choice!
Nothing screams "white privilege" more loudly.
@@Nocturnalux Lol right?? I’m white as snow and I could never 😅
If you aren't being paid or your paycheck bounces, please complain to your state's attorney generals office and the Department of Labor. This just irritates the mess out of me. Therre are laws to protect employees. Sounds like they were treating their employees like their wives treated their downlines!
What was going on in the restaurant was definitely illegal.
I would bet that at least some of the money that the restaurant was taking in was being funneled into this MLM business be it to buy her rank, pay for shows/conferences/etc. The whole thing sounds even shadier than just what was plainly said. This lady wasn't successful because of her MLM business was successful, she was "successful" because her husband wasn't paying his employees/vendors and instead giving the money to his wife.
Your cat makes the same sort of "yodel" as my family's cat. Loved hearing their comments on the story.
Ohhh my the Curby Rep.... my son had them knock on his door and they spent over 3 hours at his home. I asked him why he did this and his response, no lie, was "They were cleaning my hous for free" I died laughing.nhe had no intention of buying but got 3 hours of their time and free maid service.
I was just talking to a friend of mine about these videos and mentioned the curby stories. She said she wants them to show up at her place now so they can clean the house for her haha 😂
😂😂😂 I love this. Next time they show up here I’m letting them clean!
“It doesn’t matter what you do, there’s an MLM hun out there who wants YOU”
My cousin sold Cutco briefly straight out of college, 20 years ago. I spared him the uncomfortable sales pitch and just bought a knife. He left Cutco within weeks and is now an architect. I didn't know Cutco was a slimy MLM...but my knife still cuts like no other. Their product is/was great - too bad they suck as a company.
I still have my set from college, too.
Same but daughter. She wanted to try it and I’m like good luck here I’ll buy your starter kit but if you quit it belongs to me 😂 that was like 20 years ago.
Mlm or whatever the knives have outlasted most ones at the same cost.
Hey Hannah I’m Hannah 💕 i’m autistic and I just want to thank you for your kind words and all the nice comments people are leaving💕
i love zekes “happy spot” lol! i live for your videos, it feels like being to talked to by a friend! also as a nuerodivergent person, listening to stories and focusing on following the words is perfect for grounding and distraction when i’m anxious
I agree!!! I have a stressed out life, and love the grounding these stories provide, stay strong my friend ❤️
zeke meowing always makes me smile. he's so talkative
Honestly you're my fav anti MLM content creator. You approach it as a teacher with kindness, empathy, factual information and calm assertiveness. It's the exact approach for this kind of content. Thank you!
Ya same , I can’t watch anyone else
One of the things I love about you and your channel is the aside you took regarding ADHD/Autism. Your compassion really shows when you take those moments to stop and reflect. Keep you your good work.
Love, light, and Band-aids to the Cutco guy. The knives are so good, you barely notice an amputation
Ahh Cutco almost got me when I was in college. The group "training" and "interview" were... uncomfortable
I'm pretty sure Cutco/Vector circulated a clipboard trying to get people to sign up with them in my 500-person first year chem class. Everything they promised was too good to be true - no experience necessary, make $18/hr starting, potential to move up in the company - and it felt weird, so I didn't go for it, but I'm sure they got their hooks into some vulnerable, broke freshmen. So predatory.
Same , after high school. Any group interviews I walk out of
I was in la and it was 16 an hour.
Zeke has SO many opinions he needs to share about mlm scams!!
I love your videos. After a story, you said something about how Reps will bash your job, your life, etc. and my brain sarcastically finished the sentence with, "But, There's an MLM to fix that!"
The poor kids were probably sitting in the backseat holding up a sign to that cop that said, ‘HELP US!!’ 🤣💀
That first story reminded me of when I worked at Movie Gallery. It was my job that day to call and remind people about late movies/games. This was my third call, when the lady answered I was super polite and asked if the renter was home, she said no, so I asked if she could remind them that their disc was late. She stated crying and yelled at me that he had passed. He was very young and it was a tragic accident. I felt awful. After that I had huge anxiety around that part of my job. When I hung up I wrote off that disc so they wouldn't receive any letters or be sent to collections.
Can I just commend you for being so kind and making sure that family didn't get hounded during such a difficult time? Sometimes when you're in customer service hell you forget that you can actually make people's lives better, too, even though you generally only hear from the customers whose day's you've "ruined"
Wow! I had no idea Kirby was an MLM. My mom had one of those monstrous metal garbage vacuums with the constant stinky burnt belts. I vaguely remember being around 5 or 6 when a rude salesperson dumped a cup of dirt on our living room floor and vacuumed it up. I'm now questioning my childhood R2D2 looking Rainbow brand vacuum.
Hannah: oh no I’m going to hell for laughing at this
Me: *stares into the abyss about all the shit I’ve said that might ACTUALLY send me to hell* 😭😭😂😂
"Local MLM Hunnery" :
A coop full of delusional chickens impersonating exotic flamingos.
Bug lady kicked a beehive trying to sell her bugs, ironic i love her
I am so appreciative of how you use official sources without any “spin”.
Yep, I got into Cutco for about 5 minutes as a recent high school grad when there weren't any regular jobs available (yay recessions). My parents bought the only set I sold. My dad, whose skin was so tough he had trouble getting blood drawn at the doctor's, filleted his thumb on one of the regular table knives just putting it in the dishwasher with the wrong side up. Say what you want about the program, those knives were sharp.
"Filleted" 🤣🤣
Cutco would have been a great business without the MLM structure. Idk why they (founders) thought it was a good idea lol
Same. Recession. I didn't even get one sale. Not even my parents. Oversaturated market.
Absolutely love the Bug Farmer's self awareness lol. Great story!
I just got my autism diagnosis last month at 24 years old. I’ve struggled all my life trying to make myself fit in without accommodations. Now with my diagnosis, I’m making all the accommodations i can for myself with no regrets and I’ve never been happier. I’m so glad you read an excerpt from the email regarding curing autism. Autism isn’t a disease that requires curing. Even as an undiagnosed autistic person myself, i had A LOT of deconstructing of stereotypes to do when i realized i might be autistic. I had a lot of learning to do about myself. It absolutely infuriates me now when huns try to peddle their gimmicky MLM products with unfounded health claims about curing autism and other conditions.
I was 40 when diagnosed. Still on the learning and unlearning process, but it has been so reaffirming to know why I always felt different and had trouble fitting in and realizing I wasn’t “broken” just different and different isn’t bad.
Zeke: meowing
My cat: wide-eyed stare
Chatty Zeke and cool Cooper are adorable.
My brother briefly joined Cutco, sold knives and scissors to my parents and left. At least, he didn’t cut himself.
i just wanted to say that bc of these videos i can spot mlm reps on instagram so fast. i never understood before watching these that it was a scam! i’m so grateful that these you make these so that we are all more aware of this and don’t get roped in ❤️
Some of these MLMers have zero boundaries. It’s wild out here. Be safe y’all.
As a fellow person with ADHD and Autism, I can agree that we definitely think differently. Do we have struggles? Absolutely. But that doesn't indicate what we can and can't do. I'm a school counselor and mental health counselor, and I'll be finished with my PhD in December. Adhd and Autism doesn't need to be scary or bad. It can be beautiful if approached from a strengths based perspective.
I've seen a story about a guy who was selling knives between high school and collage and cut his hand very badly.
He then sold a set of knives to the doctor who stitched him up after the doctor commented on how cleanly the knife had cut him.
I’ve had a really rough day with my toddler and seeing that you posted a new video brought me genuinely giddiness and joy 🥹 I think I’m addicted 😂 keep it up 😊
I was just at my nephews baseball game and we went to go say bye after the game and a lady was talking to my sister in law and I immediately noticed her Monat black leather backpack. I thought to myself Hannah would be screaming silently right now 🤣 I just had to share that with you.
Thank you for sharing the email from the person who has autism and ADHD. I am autistic and very likely have ADHD as well (just haven't gotten tested yet) and she makes an excellent point about our capitalist society being super focused on productivity. It's not that I am lazy, I work hard at my job, but I don't want my job to be my whole life. I CAN'T have my job be my whole life. Before I started working from home, I would have to take long weekends every other week because I was constantly overstimulated and could not function. I never had any PTO because I had to use it to recover from being around people. I've never been pitched an MLM, but whenever it does happen, I can't wait to say to them regarding "time freedom" and all their BS as sounding like an absolute nightmare.
Ya I never have any pto. I have adhd and I need mental health days
I love the Zeke cameos, they are so precious 💞
My daughter is an aircraft mechanic in the Navy. At times, she is so busy that she can’t even call! 12 hours of work 7 days a week is a regular thing for them! I was prior Navy myself, so I can understand the small amount of time you actually have leftover. There’s laundry, studying, and all the other military requirements involved! The amount of sleep you get is extremely tiny! I would have honestly cursed the Monat lady out!
I love when the cat gives big meows mid story! It makes me laugh every time. I
I cut my finger doing one of my first Cutco demos when I was 19. I was naive and sold Cutco for one summer. Maybe I’ll submit my story one of these days. Years later I also joined Primerica… but quit right after becoming certified to sell life insurance when I realized what I was really getting into. I had an “oh crap this is going to be just like Vector Marketing” moment and quit before I even started doing any demos. Thank you for spreading anti MLM awareness.
My dad bought that stupid $2,000 vacuum 🤦🏼♀️ it was the heaviest piece of junk... I don't think it ever even really got used. Threw that piece of junk and it's 12,000 attachments away recently. All that money down the drain.
Ooooh my goodness, kitty actually side "Mhmm.." when you asked if they wanted to jump up. Sooooo so cute. Lovely 😍
I love listning to this, when I´m cooking or baking. Thank you Hannah for doing this, and educating us on this topic....and I´m here for the Zeke/Cooper-appearance * LOL* I really love kitties
I run my own stationery shop and I’m just dying for a MLM person to message me and ask me if I want to run my own business, work from home, and make my own hours 😂
My brother ran a cricket farm VERY successfully for a LONG time. Careers that sound crazy but are lucrative!
Girl I Have a Kirby horror story for you!!!! I’ll email it soon♥️♥️
Love the in frame shot at 27:40
The bug farm reminded me of my hometown in south Georgia. One of, if not the most, lucrative businesses in this small, rural town is a cricket farm. I always assumed they supplied the fishing industry, but I wonder how much of their business was for scale babies. 🤔
I passed a private house on a back road today in rural SC that had a sign, "crickets sold here."
Just started cooking. This is what I needed! You’re one of the highlights of my week!
😂😂😂 listening while in shower .. heard Zeke... Thought it was my cat. "I know Marci I will feed you soon" then you called him out for being loud 🤣😂😹
Oh my goodness. Phew! I was waiting to have an aneurism, thinking that first story was going to end up with the Curvy Vacuum lady barreling past the daughter and forcing her way in to hold a grieving family hostage with her demonstration during the _worst time!!!_
I'm so glad your channel was recommended to me a couple months ago. You're definitely a favorite anti-mlm channel of mine, because you're so respectful of the people who have been harmed by mlms.
Thanks so much for your pause to discuss adhd and autism. My neurodivergent family agrees and appreciates it. ❤🙏
I honestly wouldn't be shocked if the restaurant owner wasn't bankrolling or rank buying for his 'hun wife. That might be part of why the restaurant finances were so sketchy.
There's supporting your spouse's business idea, and then there's enabling them to keep losing money in an MLM.
I got sucked into Cutco. I was in college and was desperate for a job that was flexible. I got a six dollar check and I quit. They told me that I would get paid hourly plus commission. That was a lie.
OMG I thought Zeke was my own grumpy old man, Kai 😅 I even said "Kai! What's wrong? " only to realize he was sleeping
I fell prey to cutco when I was 18. Sold one set. He still uses it to this day and they honored the lifetime warranty when one of the handles broke off. Great knifes. Bad company
Thank you so much for reading that portion about autism and ADHD. My son was diagnosed and I learned about a year after his diagnosis that it was hereditary which was something I'd never thought about. I wondered if that would explain why I was "different" my whole life And was diagnosed with ADHD inattentive type and autism (what was previously known as Asperger's for some)
Hannah early congrats on 45K because you will undoubtedly be there when I come back lol Great video as always and I do love that part about there is nothing wrong with neuro-divergent people. I am as well and I think its my superpower. I can see things in a different way than most which I love.
Omg I got an MLM advertisement before your video started. I know you can’t choose but the irony is poetic.
I sold cutco in college. I was horrid at it but 20 yrs later still love the set I bought to demo on.
And Kirby. Well I was in the 2nd or 3rd grade a guy came to demo. I wasn't feeling well and vomited all over our carpeted kitchen. My mom said that if he would clean it that she would buy it. 30 some years later she still had it and loved it and would probably still have it but it is now to heavy for her fragile frame.
I heard someone on RUclips talking about an MLM rep who tried to recruit someone at a funeral.
I got a vector marketing ad at the end of the video. I promptly proceeded to report it to Google, stating that it is a scam and why. This is honestly the first time I've ever been advertised any sort of MLM products.
I completely relate to story 6. I have known about MLMs for a long time and I had heard about the basics of them but I had no idea what they were actually like. In 2018 I decided to try doing craft events for my own products that I personally handmade. From what I remember about half of the booths were from an MLM and that’s when my distain for them started because I thought it was bullshit that something like that was even allowed to set up at an event that was supposed to be for small business handmade crafters.
I have been binging your videos ever since I found your channel and I am FLOORED at reality of these cults!
Me cutting tomatoes making dinner while listening to the second story like 👁👄👁
The MINUTE a company tells you payroll will be late run away. Barring a proven bank error, if they can’t pay staff you need to go.
when huns say "it's not a pyramid scheme, those are illegal" I think of this picture from club peguin of a player saying "What do you mean, someone's murdering you? That's illegal!"
About to start the video, and the first thing I thought of was that scene from the Simpsons where Homer had to take up several temporary jobs and there was a short scene where he went door to door selling knives. When an old lady answered the door, you then see her scream, and Homer then tells himself, "Handle first, handle first." xD
"Ugh. Brenda; pitching her oils again." 😂 I laughed so hard I cried. 😂😂😂
This is an old video but wanted to chime in - my ex-boyfriend had the same Cutco mishap during a demo before we dated. Even worse - I think it was a demo at an actual store, maybe Costco?? Crazy!!
"Mothers with 3 kids can make time for this, if they can do it so can you"
a Primerica rep used this quote on me
I love your comment on autism. I am on the spectrum, and although it has been difficult at times, it has also been a gift in many ways. Turns out the obsessive focus is exactly what grad schools are looking for and my difficulties in understanding "common sense" behaviour is the source of both economic intuition and interesting research questions (I study behavioural science.
Disrupting kitties
This is old, but “No, Brenda, I don’t want your OILS,” would be a great t-shirt.
Hannah- I don't know if you have ever mentioned this, but, as you know, the MLM "award car" is actually a lease IN YOUR NAME, paid monthly by the MLM, IF you meet the monthly quota. If not, you have to pay the lease. If you fail to pay the lease, the vehicle is repossessed and it is reflected on your credit worthiness scale even for years after you've left the MLM.
I JUST learned from your videos that Kirby is an mlm and my mom has one sitting in her closet lmao. I remember the guy showing up at our door and he really sold it. I didn't know what mlms were back then but now it all makes sense. He said they're a special company that only does door to door sales to keep it like a family lol he also said it's a vacuum for life that I can inherit 🥴
My daughter was diagnosed as ADD at age 5 and the low doses of medication the doctor prescribed really did help her. I homeschooled her and her older siblings so I could really tell the difference. It helped her not to be distracted by everything she hears and focus. When she was a teenager, she wanted to stop the medication because even though no one outside the family knew, it was none of their business, it made her feel like she was different than everyone else.
I allowed her to make her own decision, yet I have always told her there is nothing wrong with her, her brain just works differently than some others. I told her God made her the way she was for a reason, and she should be who she is.
Fast forward 15 years. She is happily married and expecting her first child. She has a Masters in speech pathology and works with children in her job and in her church and all the children love her and her boss loves the way her brain works so much that she has helped to reorganize many parts of the agency she works for.
I pray each person with ADD or ADHD finds who they are and their place in this world as she has.
Me too! The last story was mine and it’s my oldest that has been diagnosed. I didn’t think to include a whole bunch more in the email because I was focusing on the story. But he’s 13 now and he’s doing wonderful. Throughout elementary school and middle so far he’s been surrounded by so many amazing people who have helped him and love on him. He got the president’s award in 5th for keeping honor roll all the way through elementary. He’s a wonderful big brother to all 4 of the others. Obviously, we all have moments and his younger sister puts him in his place sometimes when he starts what we call, bulldozing over them. As a parent, I’ve learned so much.

@@Sewingistherapy Wonderful!
As someone who has Autism and severe ADHD, it's really nice seeing a big youtuber like yourself platform a message of that Autistic people don't need fixing. I watch a loooot of videos on youtube (as I need the constant feed of information in order to keep my brain from twirling itself into spaghetti from anxiety thought spirals while I do a variety of creative work) and the amount of casual ableism I see on otherwise good channels can start getting to me at times. It's refreshing to see support of Autistic people's self-determination. Thank you.
Hannah: ‘At least the knives were really sharp and effective…?!’
My face: 🤭😯🤭😏
Thank you Hannah for always looking for the positive in any situation! 😅
Omg! Can you PLEASE do a video on the ‘MLM Reality Show’ I’d love to hear your take on it! Love your content it’s on a constant background binge in my life. 🖤🖤🖤
