DKOldies Owner Drew is a Straight Up D-Bag (Reupload W/ Louder Audio)

- *This video is being reuploaded because the audio in the original was too low for some people to hear.*
I analyze one of the older videos on DKOldie's channel. It's an office/warehouse tour given by the owner Drew. It's mostly him bothering employee Anthony. I give my thoughts on this type of work behavior and the company in general.
I AM ANTHONY from this video..who wants to know what
Did you ever want to smack Drew and do you still work at DKoldies?Lol
Not to get personal but is it true that you started drinking heavily working at DKodies?
Why did you leave?/What happened?
Why did you stay there at all
You have much higher standards and could obviously do better
Hope you're in a better job bro. You don't deserve this abuse from a dirti bag like him
Poor Anthony, he deserves better.
He’s probably the one exposing them on Jacob R!
@@pabloescoe I wouldn’t blame him. He looks like he at one point had a passion for this until he came across Steimel. Hope he’s doing better now.
@@goodguyrobert wasn’t trying to put blame on him. I just thought it would be funny if he was the one trashing the company in front of millions of viewers.
@@pabloescoe i thought the same but i doubt it tbh even with the voice filter the way the guy talks is different from Anthony
@@pabloescoegood guess
"If it works, that's good enough for us." - The DK Oldies Seal Of Quality
And even if it doesn't, we don't care and still send it to you. Now F you and watch our monkey Joey do his ignorance-dance.
Haha yep
yep then they ban you from twitter lol
Anthony looked like he was one step away from becoming the Joker
Lmao
I love the toaster oven and microwave 3 feet away from Anthony's work area where he is literally trapped in a corner surrounded by boxes. If a fire breaks out he's doomed.
not really, he seems capable, but the d bag owner might come try to video tape it and block him in to get his interaction. This seals it for me, it's funny to know their beginning content was so blatantly cringe but people were gobbling their shit up since day 1 anyways. Anthony is a good one, I bet if he could talk to you right now about it his words would be "F*** that guy"
I think that exposes DK oldies even more. It shows these guys don't get real lunch breaks and they microwave their food at their work station.
@@tomclark362 I don't know if it exposes all of that, that's just speculation lol
I'm glad DK oldies has been getting so much heat lately just because of how terrible a person Drew is.
Drew is a D-Bag
What’s sad is that smaller RUclipsrs tried calling them out before they started getting heat in 2023, but people didn’t take them seriously because they thought they were trying to get clout. Small RUclipsrs don’t always lie.
Anthony is like Milton from "Office Space"...just trying to do his job but his boss keeps bothering him and being disrespectful
Lol!
☕️Uuuhmmm yeah. My thoughts exactly.💯
Managers need to stop talking to/annoying their employees. Seriously how can you work if you have some asshole breathing down your neck?
Exactly
Sht makes me Kirk out
Unfortunately, not a lot of managers view their workers as people. They view them as tools.
still goes on alot more then you think. Drew is showing 100 percent text book narc behavior. ive worked with bosses and employees like that it happens too much for comfort
after watching this, I can see why he hired Joey for PR
Joey is the one getting his reputation ruined as he is in the videos. The only people who would hire Joey now are idiot republican politians.
I hate micro managers.
details often matter
not only a micro manager, a stupid one at that.
@@turkwendell6904 True but he’s not micro managing well. He’s just annoying his worker and slowing down his productivity. Which I’m sure Drew complained to him about later even more than he did in the video.
@@steviefreakinc good point
DKOldies Drew looks like the person who would have multiple SA charges against him...
They straight up are scalpers lmao - they are an absolute threat to game preservation at this point.
Drew needs refurbished
By an actual company that does refurbishing lol.
The DKOldies way is to ship him out while he's still dirty.
@@steviefreakinc lmao!!
No wonder the employees can't refurbish every console, when the boss is everyday doing his tiktok stuff instead of helping them. He's standing there telling his worker that he has to test all the 50+ games first and he's just fucking making his lifestyle videos all day long. Every REAL boss would help their employees to get the stuff done, especially when there's much work to do!
This ain’t Joey this is drew joey is the social media manager and does that stuff the real asshole behind the operation is drew the guy filming this video
Drew: Hey Anthony. What are you doing?
Anthony: I'm just...
Drew: This is not the podcast, do your work and pretend I'm not here.
Anthony: ....
Drew: Why are you angry? You should be thankful for this job.
This is one thing I have to say about all of this. I know Joey is the face of the company, but let’s just keep in mind he is simply an employee as well. For all we know he is just as frustrated as Anthony is in this video along with the rest of the employees. DKOldies deserves the truth being exposed but let’s not take it out on the innocent employees that don’t run this company. This guy in the video is the one we need to blame!
But if you voluntarily go rob a bank with some friend youre accomplice for a crime. So are these workers a part of scam center. Cheaters are cheaters no matter how much frosting you but on over a turd it still is just a turd not a cake.
@@oggamer735 I don’t compare doing a job, with robbing a bank. They have to feed their families. How many people in this world actually have a job they like? Not many simply because there aren’t enough good jobs for everyone.
Both ARE jobs. Ones just a bank job 😅
By an account of jigsore, an ex employee, Joey is the bosses b*tch. You can't feel sorry for any employee who works their, they have a choice, they know what they're doing and they still do it. They're just as guilty as the boss. They're all reaping the benefits of scamming people.
I just watched the interview with an ex employee and he said the 'cleaning department' doesn't have a dust gun. You can't make this stuff up.
There's no dust guns. There's air compressors
Glad you mentioned how they essentially steal good deals from others and jack up the price. JacobR and ReviewTech seem hyperfixated only on the refurbishment issue.
Thanks man. And yeah you’re right. They do tend to focus on the refurbishing.
They did talk about the prices on their first videos, that it isn't a big deal to them. Don't remember their reasoning for it, but like, at the end of the day the customer decides if they want to pay that price or not. Personally while I think it's shitty of DKOldies to take advantage of ignorant people, those people are still being ignorant.
@@vinicius100470 They are taking advantage of ignorant people but they are also hoarding the supply of games. Their actions have helped inflate the game market drastically.
@@christiangetchell8218 I don't know about hoarding. Their warehouse don't seem all that big and they don't seem to have many copies of games or systems. As for affecting the overall marketing, I honestly wouldn't know.
They just focus on that aspect because it suits their channel best.
that's awful. anthony seems like such a cool guy who just gets shit on all the time. hope he's doing well now
This is why I'm very thankful for the mame devs and the emulation community. Retroarch front-end is my go to for playing retro games now. My super Nintendo stays in it's box safe and sound until the rare occasion I bust it out for strict nostalgia.
Man....This might be one of the most provoking and unprofessional interactions I've ever seen from a manager / owner. I'd quit on the spot.
Drew thinks he's cool lol. He doesn't know how to be a leader.
One of the worst I've ever seen too. The true cherry on top is the fact he filmed acting like this to his employees and put it on the internet. What an arsehole.
Good job covering this. People fail to realize how often this happens in business like this
I really enjoyed your take on this, man. It truly comforts me to see people like you still have a great understanding of what a business and a good, psychological work environment looks like.
Thanks Cuh.
Man you can tell this guys employees don't like him. That begs the question as to why they would work there if their boss is an asshole and isn't even really paying them well.
I’m sure these are people that have experience in the gaming world. They get bamboozled in and all is well for a month or two and it’s just harder to leave when you have a family/bills to support/pay.
They're afraid they might not find work elsewhere.
@Lex Beltran Anyone with real-life experiences would know this.
@@lexbeltran1354 I can understand this, but there's a better option then working for this guy.
you get comfortable, and you have friends there, and you don't realize the boss sucks ass until months in, so you stay longer than you should, it's a classic tale in all working environments, especially as I said, if you form friendships or start a job w a buddy you already know, there are good moments at that store, Drew just isn't a part of them...
Scott straight dipped off and said working 😂😂
Scott is an inspiration lol
“Jared Fogle lookin ass” lol fuckin classic
Looks like Drew is the real problem with dkoldies while Joey has gotten too much flak retrospectively. He still works for a terrible company but I thought he was calling the shots.
he close to andrew
Drew 'dont tell anybody what I did to you' Oldies
Notice Uncle Drew didn't follow ol Scott with that camera phone when he asked what he was doing and he mumbled "work!"
He knew he could mess with Tony in testing
Man I’m so glad you YT creators are bringing attention to these wack companies taking advantage of consumers. I wanted to buy a PSP vita and this company came up in the Google search. I saw the prices but I really thought they were legit refurbished products. They are clearly too small of an operation to fulfill orders with products that were throughly tested and 100% refurbished. Such a shame. I remember when I wanted to work at GameStop part time because of my joy of video games. I guess this is the dark side of the business.
Wow. You can just sense the tension in the room.
I can relate to the boss/employee thing, and I'm even a manager at a store and MY boss always condescends me to make herself look better, and won't just leave me alone and let me work. I'm fine with being updated on what's new, but when you stand there and fight with me about something, it's very unprofessional.
Haha “get your Jared Fogle ass away from him” dude that was hella funny.😂
I was pretty proud of that one lol
Also dude just walking away like fuck this when Drew starts walking towards him had me rolling
It was the best moment for me
Drew is certainly that types of bag. Anthony looks like he's about to turn on Drew like an enranged grizzly bear, but instead, flicks the V at 3:42, then readies his weapon.
Not sure why he wants to film the place, as it just shows what a dump it is.
They probably only have 1 or 2 people assigned to complete refurbishment of inventory and that's why it isn't getting done. Good video.
Anthony looks like he needed an extensive background check. 🤣🤣
Drew sounds like hes one of those characters from a show who tries too hard to be likeable but ends up being annoying as fuck
Haha that’s definitely Drew.
The workplace is so messy bruh and also just such a weird video for the company to upload themselves lmao
Drew seems like he's got the 'tism. He was hoping to have some lighthearted banter with Anthony, but doesnt really know how to interact with people or read them. He thought he'd ruffle the feathers of his ol' buddy Anthony, but doesnt realize people actively dislike him. I love retro gaming, and have a decent collection, so if I worked there and saw the horde of consoles and games, the insane price gouging by the company, and shady business practices, I'd hate the boss and my job too.
More of this stuff needs to blow up. People don’t realize how much of an ass this guy is or who he even is to begin with.
I used to have a boss just like this guy, and clocking in to work everyday felt like torture.
Same
Not even working for the guy and i kinda want to fight him...cant even imagine these poor lads
Anthony is one guy and look at all that stuff he has to test. Man maybe Drew could give him another employee too help him maybe 3 or 4 employees. But instead of doing that he treats Anthony like s**t.
In business you get what you pay for. Most employers are on ego trips or would be intimidated to hire people who are qualified because of their own self esteem. This is why they surround themselves with people who are not qualified.
Fair enough
Anthony is in all of the early videos, the tours and the blogs and he and Drew have a weird relationship where they bicker back and forth a lot lol
All of the early videos have a strange vibe honestly
Though given that he isn't in anything over the past few years I am guessing he grew tired of it and left.
Hopefully
@@steviefreakinc you should react to those videos too. Your commentary is funny as hell.
@@childhoodstuff94 I did their first podcast already but I’m planning to do more for sure. I wanna focus on different things since the bigger guys like Jacob and Rich are talking about the main stuff
While drew was ovr talking Anthony legit said "I test these so you can sell them for 3xs the price'
Also yes... Anthony is still there... still testing... probably the same stack of games...
@@AtticusRh0des LOL!
Duck Frew
I get it's a game store that has does alot of testing and such, but man they really need to handle their work space or at least invest in some u haul storages for those consoles. Idk something. This whole area is screaming Fire hazard
This reminds me of the guys that bought up all the hand sanitizer when COVID hit
Yeah exactly. I know what you’re talking about too.
@@steviefreakinc 👍 Just going around scooping up all the Mario 3's and sh*t. It's definitely shady lol
Every interaction is short and annoyed sounding, it’s quiet funny 😆
As someone who that lives near DKOldies and used to do a lot if retro collecting, let me tell you it was rough back in the day. Not only did we have DKO, we had at least 3 brick and morter game stores at one point. It became impossible to find good deals at the pawn shops. The brick and morter stores were cool but there wasn't enough supply or demand to keep them going and unfortunately DKO was the survivor.
I am in the area of dk oldies about 15 mins down the road, it sucks trying to get to any yardsales and flea markets/ marketplace posts before these guys get to any retro games. They have people going out every day to any sales before ppl open up and buy up everything.
I had a feeling that might be the case.Vultures picking the bones clean
Joey should be in charge.
Nothing worse than a boss who "jokes" around with employees, but mixes his jokes with actual demands, and bossing them around but just uses the jokes to get away with being an asshole. Either be the jokey boss outside of serious meetings, or be the serious boss at all times. Mixing it around like that just makes for an AWFUL work environment. I don't think I have seen a boss as unprofessional as this dude...
If it were me by the time he said "You sound upset buddy" he would've gotten a black eye or busted nose
whats sad is a person who gets scammed is more likely to sell the broken product again and buy a working one. its like the cycle of scamming from selling broken products. just my theory idk.
True that!
The owner Drew has an old video where he smashed super rare gameboys, he thought they were fake so he hit them and smashed them, dude is a tool bag…later!
I did a react to it!
@@steviefreakinc i’m still on my marathon, watching your videos, so I’m sure I’ll see it, later!
I really doubt Anthony works there anymore cause with a boss like that, how could you bare staying there.
in my state this type of boss will use ANYTHING to fire you, even being irritated by the boss, fired.
fr lmao
I've worked a few jobs with bosses like Drew and unfortunately this is happening at jobs everyday. Most people leave but some get stuck in the abuse loop.
i Feel So Bad for him and the guys who work there they have to Deal With This Asshole boss
and the person address to😔
And the fact that he show us the 123 copies of the Nes mario games is just wild Cause anyone who lives where DKOdies can just go in the Store and just Rob Them all there Games and go Bankrupt
Congrats on 1K! 🎉
Thank you for being here. I’m happy to have you. !m! :) !m!
This is a bombshell video bro. Jacob R and Reviewtech need to see this
That would be cool. I think Rich is a little busy though. His daughter is in the Hospital :(
I now know why ive seen you before. I saw this when it first came out hahaha
Nice. You was a fan before you knew it lol
I like you angle of the story and your humor subscribed
Thank you and welcome to the community! :)
"To prove our consoles are opened, tested, and cleaned, Anthony will personally write a curse word somewhere inside the console".
lol
Does anyone know if Anthony still works there? The only videos I could find of Anthony were from 7+ years ago. From the old videos, Anthony seems like such a nice, hard working guy who really cares about games. I hope he got out of that hostile environment and works somewhere where he is respected and happy.
Someone told me he left a little while back.
@@steviefreakincthere is an interview with an ex employee on RUclips that started he left a while back
You get the staff as good as you treat them. Goes all ways
Dude needs to stop hounding the guy. Man
I've been watching alotta of their shorts & videos recently and the comments are usually on point, but what I don't understand is the gross simping for either Joey's attention or defending the company itself. I guess some people don't care about what businesses they support or nostalgia makes everyone turn into moronic pay pigs.
Audio is a bit louder so it did improve, but I'll have to watch it again when I'm at work on the same PC to really really be able to tell just how much better it is, but I like how you listen to your subscribers that's important cause at the end of the day I'm not trying to down ya just letting you know so you can make improvements, if you don't know then you can't improve right 👍
I appreciate you letting me know. I want you to be able to hear it. I'm gonna be mindful of volume when editing my videos moving forward too so it shouldn't be a problem again. Thanks bud!
@@steviefreakinc much improvement 👌
I might angrily have to put my foot off the camera man's ass if that cameraman didn't let me do my damn job peacefully or say something to get them to turn off the video like well I guess it's time for me to go home😅
This piss me off I'm from Pa. DKOldies make us Pa's look bad we love making Quality this in Pa
Better save those old DKOldies videos. They will be taken down privated by the end of the week if this video blows up lol.
drew's kinda like my dad
when my room has like 3 objects on the floor he's like clean your room then after, he points out other stuff i left on my bookshelf and desk. So i can understand what anthony is going thru
like wtf stop being so concerned about the mess just leave my space alone
anthony should not have been blamed for the mess, he was already heavily burdened with work
My god this guy sounds like such a tool. Everything about this company makes so much more sense now
Shit if I had a boss like Drew I wouldn’t give a shit about the quality of the products either lol, I’m getting my paycheck n dippin. I’m doing minimal work.
Dawg Same!
I had a friend who instigated like this and he ended up still living with his parents.
LOL
Now I wonder why I can’t find no SMB3 in here in PA 😂
Lol yeah you better believe Drew Steimel and the rest of the DKButties are out there buying them all.
First off, I do not support DK Oldies at all. With that said, if they want to purchase all gaming consoles/games and willing to pay (from what I hear, pretty good), let them. Why should they need to think about if it will hurt the next person having a more difficult time buying the item... supply and demand. This is a business and here to make money. This is my main problem with anyone who complains about how many games/consoles they have. I'm sure ppl will hate my opinion, as it is MY opinion.
I disagree with you but I respect your opinion. All is fair in love and war for sure. I would prefer to do business differently, that's all.
Thank you Mr.Steve Sir for speaking about this i feel that Dk Oldies is evil business
Thanks dude and yes!
@@steviefreakinc you're welcome and i agree , i saw a vid that Dk oldies bullies their employees
Poor Anthony! I hope he got the F**k out of there!!!
He did, I've talked to him a few times. He's doing a lot better
Does Drew have pointed hair? He should.
Poor Anthony he really deserves better
Yeah for real!
@@steviefreakinc exactly that guy was being such a jerk to him
Let the REAL MAN work!
Hey man I love this video. This is my first video I have watched of yours. Thanks for the content. Do you play on PS5? Can I add you and we can play some games together sometime maybe? Do you play Returnal?
Ik he's cute, but boundaries.
I do have a PS5 but no online. I have so much going on and too many game systems so it's one I don't pay for right now. steviefreakinc is my username though. I might hop online sometime. And nah, I haven't played Returnal
@@steviefreakinc Cool thanks bro! Ill message yas and if you ever get a chance and want to check something out and play multiplayer. Shoot me a message and we can just kick it and play.
Nice vidro looking into the psychology of a double, added too by your commentary that shows he's not the only one
Scott's favorite game is sonic. Gotta go fast!
I really felt this video. I have definitely been Anthony is my first jobs. I really hope he is doing well and had left that crappy game store in the past. We stand with Anthony
Hell yeah dude I’ve been Anthony in this situation before too. But never again
@@steviefreakinc it's sad tbh, surely the business benefits from having passionate staff and also good management that are also as passionate. The dude with the camera is a waster who was probably bullied in high school and is now on a power trip. You learn from these jobs though how to act as a human.
@@rangers5576 Agreed
I was wondering Heckin’Steve what did you order from DKOLDIES?
I bought a Phat PS2 and a bunch of PS2 games. Everything was in decent condition too. One of the lucky ones I suppose.
In the past, pre 2015, i usually hates reseller. People that already got the game and buy it to make a profit. Then it was okay after so and so.
This video definitely remind me of how much i hate resellers again. Andrew just make every people that wanted to buy at garage sale.
Somebody plz make Drew's life a living hell, I know this is old but this shit was hard to watch....
Thank God for emulation
Wow, they got Bill Lumbergh working at dkoldies. That bully crap is gonna get that dude hit in the mouth
There is an old vid on DKOldies from the CEO , Where he does say buy ebay flip sell high lol , Was so funny he openly said its a scam.
Yeah their podcast episode 1 about 5ish min in.
ok listen up i just went and watched the video myself and let me tell you, the comments section is unhinged. the more recent comments have some girl going on a tangent talking to nobody , its something special
I noticed that too during my reconnaissance lol
I got 12000 games for 140 dollars. Thanks retro pie and fk these scammers. The games they sale are basically worthless without the box and instructions.
Hellz yeah
This scares the heck out of me how much they're hoarding. The 200+ Mario3s. The stacks of NES's in multiple locations.... They need homes.
This explains a lot.
After day 5 of this I’d quit
I.hope Anthony is in a different job and happier
I heard he left a bit ago!
