    🚨I’ve seen people concerned for me over the “I make 4 figures in the $10,000,000 studio” comment and to be CLEAR that was a joke!
    I was just surprised by how much podcasts make and wrote that in as a throwaway line.
    I think most ppl know how absurd the idea is that I could have 2 employees, and a $10,000,000 studio if the channel actually made a few thousand bucks a year, however I wanted to clarify so no one worries about me.🥺
    If I ever need money I’ll just sell the flying lambo. We’re good. 🫡

      It’s a manipulation tactic that has probably worked really well in dealing with podcasters and celebs. It’s just simple flattery. “Once he likes me he will be willing to do business”
      But CoffeeZilla isn’t trying to sell something, or get an ego stroke, so the same manipulation tactics are definitely not going to work.

    • @GhibliNova

      No people know when they are the bad guy. People just protray themselves as the good guy to try masking the fact that they are the bad guy. They know what they're doing is wrong but they think you're stupid and can't see through the mask. The ones who are really good at it are typically the ones who get voted into power.

    ANYBODY looking at this kind of a deal needs to have an attorney that specializes in Intellectual Property, and contract law. If they don't, they're an idiot. You can ALWAYS have your attorney look over a contract. If the person offering the contact says things like "It's just the standard contract" or "It's just boilerplate" that's a serious red flag. ALL IP contracts should be looked over by an attorney the talent hires before signing. If the media company is unhappy about that, it's likely time to walk away.

Listen to that guy who didn't get upset till the payments were six months late. Who in their right mind would wait that long, unless they didn't rely on that money to survive.

      They kinda have no choice. That's the beauty. Either you do the interview and attempt a cover up at least, or you let Coffee completely run with the narrative. Either way, it's over.

    Imagine being asked about the company missing 4 million dollars in payments to their clients and you reply with a sales pitch on the vision of said company.

    Anytime I see Theo in the thumbnail of a scam video, my heart sinks, but every time, without fail, this dude has been a victim or exposing.
    Never has there been an issue, which is why Theo is one of my favourite celebrities. The dudes a really good guy, funny and compassionate.
    I've watched him talk to people extremely depressed and support them
