Brian is the epitome of "kind but not nice." The kinda guy that'll stop on the freeway to help you change your tire, but insult your masculinity for not knowing how to do it yourself the whole time.
At first, Nathan and Brian seem like the ultimate adversaries. Next thing we know, Brian's deeply chatting with Nathan about the troubles of parenthood during a divorce. What a wonderful world.
Nathan started the path to a divorce around when Nathan For You started, I often wonder if his body language when Brian is talking about his own divorce is the only time he's broken character.
@@AdamJones-pr9ee They never showed the entire footage of when they were together scoping out during the movement episode. Keep in mind they were in a car together for 5 hours. There had to have been some kind of impactful moment that went down in that time. My guess is Nathan did break character and talked with him about their divorces if we saw the raw footage
Nathan knew from the start that when he found Brian, he found an absolute star. 🤣 Like he pushed Brian’s buttons in all the perfect ways to show how brilliantly entertaining of a person he truly is. A buddy-cop movie or show between these two would be the most brilliant thing ever.
@@Emtrax. he just wants us to click his channel and watch his videos because he's a poor SOB that isn't entertaining enough to shine on his own, so this is what he does
In this day and age with our attention span being that of goldfish 18 min is a lifetime. And yet it felt like a life well lived. Every second was amazing.
I absolutely love Brian. He's hilarious. "You know who you are? You remind me of the wizard of loneliness." Is still one of my favorite things to say to my friends when they're being dicks.
@@B0RGUS it’s funny there’s a fan theory that he actually was the nicest to him because when they first met he was the only one on the show to take up Nathan’s offer to hangout after the show 6:10
His job is literally waiting in a van all day, probably sometimes literal 24 hour days, with a video camera. It's like fake taxi with none of the glory, social interaction, or money. He is the actual wizard of loneliness, and his projection is sad.
I honestly love this episode for so many reasons. Nathan is a troll, this guy knew it. Yet he still let Nathan open him up. In the end, we should aspire to taking on the best qualities of both him and Nathan, and embodying them ourselves :)
What makes it even better is that one of the early incel communities was named "wizardchan". It's users were those too anti-normie & toxic for the other incel sites, and they followed an esoteric belief that if they remained virgins til the age of 40(they would/will) then they'd be rewarded with magic wizard powers🤣 it was such a great place to observe 🥲
I love how full circle this was. First it starts with Brian investigating Nathan and then Nathan flips it around by the end to investigate Brian and uncover his past
@@Winteramen the people that work on the show probably helped convince him it'll be ok. y'know contracts and all that so he knows nothing can really happen lol. thats my best guess
“You know what, that’s your opinion, typically I get 5 stars.” “Well, typically you have no reviews.” “I don’t give a flying fuck about Yelp, okay?” 😂😂😭
Reoccuring is a word despite the red line underneath it as I type this out. It is so uncommon that word processors don't even always recognize it as a word. I believe you meant to say recurring character. A reoccuring character would be a character that is merely being shown AGAIN. A recurring character is one that shows up periodically, as I think you meant.
Idk why but something about their relationship is so cute, towards the end Brian seems to treat or see Nathan as a little brother, i wonder if Brian lost a sibling when he was younger who reminds him of Nathan. Towards the end of the video he cant keep a straight face and smiles at him and treats him lovingly like an older brother who shows his affection and lovingness in a macho man type of way, grabs the football, teases him, etc. Its how my big bro used to treat me when were younger. Makes me glad i still have him around in my life.
Nathan laughs with blinks. The strength to hold face is absolutely ridiculous. He knew that pink shirt would trigger Brian, along with the cut-throat, dead-pan criticism, Brian would never let it slide 😂
I am watching Nathan for You all over again and Brian is definitely the breakout star. I grew up in Massachusetts and Brian is like dozens of guys I knew. He’s a ball buster and it’s hilarious!
Nathan For You was absolutely one of the best shows that ever aired. I miss it, but I'm glad Nathan pulled the plug before it got tired. The show is brilliant.
I've talked to Brian before, and he's an awesome guy. Helped me do a little surprise for my ex on her birthday. Did it because I was a fan who asked for a little help. Awesome dude that definitely needs to get on screen with Nathan again.
I was actually thinking maybe it had something to do with his ex-wife, and that was the first person he learned his spying skills on. Or maybe following someone before her, I don't think we will ever know for certain why though.
