Brian got alot of shit from people that weremt even qualified for gove him shit. Brian bounced back from that whole shitshow. He became a legend in the hobby and loved by just about everybody in the hobby. Tom crutchfield went through a patch where alot if people thought he was the devil of the reptile world. Yes he smuggled tons of reptiles into the country and yes he was arrested for it and paid the price not just by going to prison but pruson in a different country now we cant imagine the hobby without tom in it. Point is we can come back from negatives with hard work.
Found this channel today randomly. Matt is a wealth of knowledge and his business and finance skills are amazing. I’m getting my first BP in over a decade. Won’t be breeding but will probably end up ordering. Thanks for all the information and the business series was incredible! And i don’t even plan to breed lol Keep up the great work!
I'm an Orthodox Jew, and the granddaughter of a Holocaust survivor, and currently living in Israel. I hit the trifecta! Personally, I would like to see people cancelled for animal cruelty and sex crimes, but not for politics. Uphold the law of the land, but don't be thought police, no matter how heinous those thoughts are. If anything, be grateful that the haters are making it so easy for you to avoid them! It's the stealth ones you have to watch out for.
Truth there. But, i still choose where my dollars go. I wouldn't walk into a store with a nazi flag to purchase a drink or burger. So why would i buyva snake from them?
Yea some people just need to be canceled. Freedom of speech is understandable but that goes for everyone which means say what you want but be prepared to be criticized in the court of public opinion. If one has the right to publicly speak on their disgusting ideologies they should be able to understand when people who do not agree with those ideologies speak out against them, especially heinous things like p-files and racist.
Exactly. And choosing to not do business with them as well. It is funny, many people are running to say we should not cancel them because it is protected speech. Speech is protected from the government, especially speaking out against the government. But it is not protected from social and economic repercussions.
This is so true. Cancel culture has gotten so hand and it's so ridiculous. Brian Barcyzk especially didn't deserve all of the hate he got. The reptile industry has changed a lot and I know there was a time when care standards weren't up to what they are now.
Totally agree, I really do not get how Sampson Pruit is still allowed to own any animal. Ever. Maybe Australia works differently to American laws. In Australia he would have been shut down and all animals ceased from him and never be allowed to own any animal again.
My friends kid got a two week xbox ban from microsoft for calling someone a pussy in chat 😅 Maybe that's actually a very bad word in America but in the UK that's like nothing . his dad said ok and bought him a ps5 the next day. If he used the c word i could see he might get into trouble but maybe that's fine with Microsoft 😂
Idk, I don't believe canceling anyone is okay, but that's just the American values in me, I guess. Feels wrong, no matter what, even if I disagree with things someone says. Point is, people have the right to say what they want, as long as they aren't directly calling for action to commit violence. It can be hateful, or not, doesn't matter. We are fortunate to have the option to ignore speech we don't particularly find appealing to ourselves. Also, the beautiful thing about free speech is we have the ability to counter speech we disagree with.
I will say yes in general I believe same as you this is America but in some cases we have to say enough is enough I knew about Samson Pruett before I got into breeding snakes I showed ADBA American Pit Bull Terrers years ago and people talked about him fighting dogs back in 2005 I don't know when he was first convinced for matching dogs but it was known he was rolling dogs in the dog show side for years he should not own any animal
In most instances i agree with you. Free speech is only free from the government, not free from consequences. I personally choose not to business with those that actively spread hate, or have been convicted of animal abuse/pedophilia. Someone expressing religious beliefs, political beliefs, etc does not matter to me.
what in gods name is he talking about? this episode is insane. why? he needs to speak on what has actually happened. something happened in order for him to decide that he needs to talk about his personal beliefs.
Multiple things have happened, all of which we have spoken about. Mostly the recent open nazi in Timothy gould and the convicted dog fighter samson pruett. Point is, some people in extreme cases (ya know, people who are nazies, dog fighters, and children rapers) should be canceled. But, those who just think differently (say rack vs tub, political parties, etc) shouldn't. 99.9% of people should be welcome. Spoke on it recently we have done 2 videos advocating against specific people, which isn't my normal style. This is laying parameters for what we are against and what we are not.

We can, and those negatives (,especially in brians case) weren't deserved.
They still sell heat rocks too. I'm shocked. 😭

That's awesome enjoy your new pet!
Respect for being a Christian who understands COS 🤘
I agree on your limitations. Let's just expand it beyond the reptile community.
That was funny as hell about Rader 6:36

Damnit Matt you're purple.....CANCELLED!!! hahahahahaaha

Thank you for making this video. 🙂↕️
Yeah I am not a big fan of cancel culture but it does have its place.
Right on about politics 5:13
Your Sargent was it Dave Sharp or Steve Hallmark?
Don't know either....

Yeah....that is the over step we are talking about. Full blown cancelation should be saved for extreme circumstances.

Huh?? Species survival plan is something with aza zoos. Usually if i talk about it it is reference to an aza zoo, not a private keeper
