The completionist, regardless of the situation he claims, is complicit and deserves to be audited. He knew the money wasnt moving anywhere and had nearly a decade to donate the money to whatever charity he wants. He has a whole team of people on payroll that he could have made at least one do some research on every single charity in just a month or two, yet money hasn't moved in nearly 10 years. Really shows how much he cares
think about when charlie had the same charity issues back when he started out on YT, it's rough but at least charlie was honest and knew when to call it a day with the fake charities. and people like jacksepticeye and many others are able to raise charity like the completionist claimed to be doing
the completionist? more like the complacent 😂
I bet at least some of that money is gone, just because you file that its there doesnt mean it is. He probably just hasnt been audited yet.
I mean if he states that "We'll be donating the funds to X, Y, Z" and then says "if you have recommendations where we can send the money" w/o sending any money to any of the X, Y, Z- that literally means he committed charity fraud. You cannot say that "this money will go to help a village called Harambe in Africa to help the children and get them a working water supply" and then NOT send them the money, the moment you understand that it's pretty much similar in terms of situation, it starts being inexcusable.
I liked Completionist and was subbed to him for quite a while, but I can't help but feel like he used the charity money as an extra source of income, Social blade states that his channel's ANNUAL turnover is max 77k USD, which is NOT enough to have the type of office or lifestyle he seems to have had IN CALIFORNIA (+ what about his team??). Sure you could add in the sponsorships, but even then it's cutting it close. I'm not making a factual claim here, it's conjecture, but I can't help but feel like his actions and the story doesn't make sense, even gross negligence doesn't feel enough to explain this away.
Not to mention that on the charity site they literally quoted that they supported an university and had a quote from the Dean who was literally fired 7 years before the Charity was established which is deceptive at the very least, malicious at worst.
Edit: They definitely need to be audited, it's not on the level of drama, but rather a potential (highly likely) criminal act instead.
The worst part is 10 years !!! I could understand a year or 2 but a decade is just fraud
kaya looks like a natural disaster survivor with a thermal blanket wrapped around him
He lives in America now so it took five days for FEMA to get the blanket to him.
Kinda cool his not going with the podcaster pack of tech startup shirt + beanie + glasses
the podcast has its own crisis actor
He is, coming from Turkey
Cozy traumatised lad
The excuses they gave for the money just sitting there were so bad. Maybe they would make sense if they did one charity event and then failed to give the money, but the fact that they kept doing more and more charity events and making claims on them that they were working with certain charities makes it straight up fraud
He forgot to give the money but didn't forget to organize a new event every year
Reminds me of Father Ted "That money was just resting in my account!"

as a mycologist i confirm that painting over it will do nothing as the mold starts from the inside of the material and grows out to the surface. so its like an iceberg of mold and you just covered the top of it.
Depends. Water based paints will not help, but acetone based paints can kill it. Problem is acetone based paints are rarely used anymore, so just spray it with bleach before painting
Disney managed to speed run the problems comics took 30+ years to run in to, prerequisite lore for characters that's unfriendly to casual viewers who don't want to read multiple wiki pages just to understand things, and power creep which is why both DC and Marvel have to reboot their entire universes every few years now.
The opposite of this, being the reasons why manga & anime have flourished
@@zogwort1522 Power Creep is for stupid ass Powerscalers; if you enjoy the Series and Story as a whole no one gives a shit. And what Anime Series are YOU reading/watching that has incoherent lore??? Literally every MCU/DC Line of “Intellectual” Properties have THE MOST convoluted non-sensical lore & plot EVER! That’s why they have to reset their Universe and Canon Events every few years with new writers (mainly talking the actual Comics these Series are based off of). And don’t even get me started on how they Panderversed a SHIT LOAD of once respectable Comic Book Characters and Stories in the Comics AND Movies AND TV Shows.
Also 10 People Liked Mai Comment and no one Liked yours so no one AGREES WITH YOUR TAKE!
And way to attack a group of people by calling them Autistic out of the gate lolololol
@@zogwort1522 ...no? the fuck.
@@zogwort1522 depends on the manga tbh. Many are just content copies of popular tropes that keep getting churned out, but there's also a lot that stand a cut above the rest with proper stories, writing and settings. The old generation of manga suits the description you put forward, because Shounen and Shoujo were the most popular then, but not now.
Kaya going “the point is you weren’t supposed to horde it like smAUG” sent me 😂😂 truly a perfect simile.
i would love for “boogies blast from the past” to be a regular end segment to this show. i need these guys reading more of them to me
You saw what happen to the previous corners lmao
Boogie is probably one of the most pathetic people on TH-cam. At least DSP is delusional and dumb. Boogie knows and refuses to change
I disagree, Boogie is a lost cause and should not get attention. This podcast contunuasly talking about him only makes him more popular, resulting in them being complacent to his continued succsess and keeps him on the internet. (success as in popularity)
@@sebas31415 i understand, but also, this podcast alone has more views than his last 5 video’s entirely. yes boogie will be talked about but he himself doesn’t profit. no one cares ab him (in this state) or his content cause it’s been the same for ab 5-6 years. it’s funny, and makes for, in my opinion, a great end segment to this podcast
no please
Keeping my buddy and I company while we work security together. Always excited on days the podcast drops cuz it definitely helps the time fly
Do you watch Bad Friends, Are You Garbage, or Lemon Party? Might want to check them out.
Cream Crew & Snark Tank are also good shows to help pass the time with
I used to be in security, too. You with Securitas?
Nah that would get old and would ruin it boogie isn't interesting he's just pathetic it would be beating a dead horse.
@@Kanggaxxlore lodge is great aswell
A) Kaya got a haircut (now he doesn’t look like the Turkish Ichiban anymore)
B) It goes to show you reality is harsh when it comes to learning the hard truth about someone.
Why does everyone forget about Guardians 3? It had nothing to do with the rest of the MCU and it was really good.
I think the best way to describe the studio behind Baldur's Gate 3 is "AA" . Big, but no AAA budget and publisher that ruins it.
Boogie is literally the Ugly Bastard hentai tag 😂
Unironically there are prettier ugly bastards.
its the fact that jirard said that "what do you guys want me to do just shut up and take the L so you can get content?" and its like no donate the fuckin money dude
Another reason you often get sick while traveling is just being exposed to new food and environment bacteria that your body isn't used to. Its why people usually get the shits when traveling.
It's funny that even the Dev of Dave the diver said that he doesn't consider his game to be indie
VP of Nexon also came out and said the same thing 😂
Appreciate you guys ❤❤❤❤
Jackson doing the mint mobile ad had me dying. They do deserve their own award
The Completionist should literally just contact Mr Beast or his team to see what charities are "good enough" for him to donate that money collecting dust.
Hopefully it's collecting interest at least.
I mean, mr beast seems like the opposite, he seems like he just donates to anyone without auditing them at all.
Jirard at this point’s silence is what makes him look even worse. He’s the equivalent of the pregnant beggar outside Home Depot with her kids asking for money. Then getting picked up by her husband in a brand new Mercedes Bens counting the money and laughing to the bank. He’ll just sit tight for a while and then just wait and go beg somewhere else next week.
Its good to see charlie talk more in the podcast. Maybe this will show people its not from a lack of interest but from the fact that theirs 4 different people talking about the same thing
He was very quiet during the pod w Wendigoon
@@cMind607if you mean the Red Thread Charlie usually contributes a lot. It's just that Jackson does all the research and has the episodes talking points, and Wendigoon usually has a lot of religious insight that relates to the topic. Charlie's more the comic relief usually with additional insight
People keep brushing over the fact that they forged a thank you note. That alone is proof that it was a scam all along. They are just taking the interest as "expenses".
Madam web exists:
**Tips fedora** Ma-DAM web
I don't get it. I have heard no one demanding spiderman's girlfriend be a deaf graffiti artist. But i have heard at least a few people complain she's a deaf graffiti artist.
Because it's obvious pandering and deserves to be mocked lol
It's really funny when they start trash talking deadpool and Ryan Reynolds considering their sponsor this podcast.
It's not Ryans company anymore. He sold it.
Kaya getting super political about GTA VI and then complaining that other people are political is so funny. What a total lack of self-awareness, understanding of politics, and understanding of the political climate.
He wants no politics except for his politics
The problem with phase...whatever it is now, is that they are trying to add on to an already completed story. After Endgame they should have done what they did in No Way Home. A near complete reset of the characters. Get everyone in a new position in a changed world. Building a new generation wasn't the wrong move to make, but trying to build it off the backbone of the old one was. Spider-man is going to come into any new avengers team as his own fully realized hero rather than Tony's old protégé. The same really can't be said of anyone else so far, save maybe Shuri but that's more out of circumstance than actual creative writing. If we want to take it a step further I think they should have used No Way Home or Multiverse of Madness to straight up jump to a new universe and make that the new setting of the MCU. New rules, new origins, new ACTIVE heroes to be introduced to rather than another origin story to tell. Have Spider-man dumped in a universe where the avengers never formed, instead the fantastic four was the first hero team. The X-Men are around. Deadpool is doing his thing. It would have been the best way to bring in new blood without needing to tread old ground.
Nah theres plenty of places to take the story after the snap and all that. It really is just a lack of direction and poor execution.
@@TheGreatestJediOfAllTime Oh I know it's possibly, but I also don't think it's possibly with the current marvel format. The guys thought the movies should return to individual stories and bring them back together for a big even like the original avengers, but I disagree. They should have gone the opposite route and brought things even more together where basically every movie is an Avengers movie, and I think that's the problem they ran into. It's just not feasible to continually bring those characters together all the time. Not to mention the lack of screen time, do you remember that meme'd scene in Far from Home?
"Where is so and so?"
"Oh they're doing literally anything else right now"
Because of stuff like that it just makes all the plots seem contrived and drawn out when realistically some other hero really should have gotten involved at some point. There is really no excuse for peter having to deal with Mysterio on his own. That's why I suggested a full reset in a new universe. Stories that cover established characters and why they don't interact with each other beyond "oh, they're just busy". Bring it back to phase 1 where they might not even know about each other so of course they wouldn't help.
It's just shitty movies with bad writting, bad acting and bad directing... That's all. No need to think to much about it.
Jesus Christ I’m super high and that boogie story about him in the strip club has me laughing so hard I’m crying lmfao
I always imagine IRS agents coming in to take your stuff if they find out you committed tax fraud (whether that is accidental or not). They take your house, car, etc. anything of value to pay off your unpaid taxes. Owing a debt to the feds is not advisable. However, I think there is a degree of necessity to the IRS. Otherwise, you would have everyone willing to and unafraid to commit tax fraud, which does hurt the people (although it also hurts the pockets of those high up in government organizations as well...)
Yeah the guy arguing against the IRS is a little odd. You would take him for left wing and left wing really like government control to some extent at least, I am not calling them communists by the way, it's just typically true, like with social security. Whilst the right wing is mostly anti government control.
The crazy part would be that I have never seen anyone on the left or the right seriously argue that the IRS shouldn't be a thing. The only people I know that feel that way are people who have been randomly audited, like my best friend who was broke and was being evaluated because they picked his name out of a hat. He fucking hates them but oddly enough even he thinks they are important, even though they took like 50 hours of his life away by talking to him on the phone.
So overall I suck and I don't know why I wrote a book about this. Also fuck politics I hate it all.
@@Maggot39967you can argue against the current iteration while still liking the idea
4:21 Oop Kaya’s cat made a guest appearance
Boogies blast from the past sounds like a fun bit that should be reoccurring. It would be kinda like Nuxtaku's Aiden ross clip of the week
@42:45 If we never got a single movie ever again for getting a sequel to Alita id take it. So so so angry that was left on a cliffhanger like that went and looked into the whole comic universe to try and fill in the blanks. That movie is incredible and im so glad others agree.
There are also chemical mold removers that are soft to the wall its applied to. In some cases you have mold in basements so its great to have something that Doesnt fuck up your Walls while doing it
Remember, like 5 or 6 months ago, when Jackson brought up the MCU failing and everyone was shitting on him? I member....
I've never seen a channel that could use the podcast tab more that the official guys. Their thumbnail style just blends into each other so much dude 💀
I don’t know what Kaya is on about about the GTA thing making money. Charlie and Jackson are saying no they can get away with being “unsafe” and violent but Kaya is arguing no they’re gonna pander to the “safe side” and then he says they’re trying to make the same point. I don’t know why they don’t call him out more about that. He’s just trying to slither away from being in the wrong.
I thought he and jackson thought that gta 6 was gonna be saints row 4 situation but yes kaya loves to back track statements.
I can see their point alittle about gta 6 considering they removed some jokes from gta 5.
kayas a weirdo, if you simply see the hours of leaked gta 6 gameplay youd see its still edgy. kaya just likes to constantly be on weird side of topics. and jackson is also wrong about rockstar losing most of its leadership. dan housers brother is still there and will assure gta will still be gta. same art director thats been there since the very start. same writers (excluding dan) and same everything else. i hate podcasts that talk about things when doing 0 research
Wasn't the reason captain marvel got so many people going to watch it because it was pushed as required to understand end game and infinity war?
And then it didn't even matter in the slightest.
I’m only commenting cause I found it funny that Kaya shit on Deadpool lines and called Ryan Reynolds “The actor” while also having a Mint Mobile ad on the episode
ToTK is my game of the year, gave it some thought against a ton of strong competition but of everything I played it's what hooked me in the most. I think we can all appreciate though that 2023 has been an absolutely incredible year for gaming
I randomly thought about and decided to search for this podcast and at the same exact time y'all uploaded a new episode.
me too!
It’s so funny that these guys know so much about like internet lol cows, and encyclopedic knowledge if you will, but not like how to get rid of mold in your bathroom 😂
Jackson was on some sharingan type shit on this episode, answering questions before Charlie or Kaya even started the sentence
Guys Madame Web is going to bomb harder than The Marvels. You clearly haven’t watched the trailer yet.
Clearly you don't own a fedora if you think ma-dam web is gonna bomb
i don't know who was asking for a Madame Web all by herself movie. i want a Spiderman movie WITH Madame Web FOR SURE! but not on her own.
@@miguelnewmexico8641 agreed. Madam Web from the Spiderman animated series was so cool to me that she is one of the things that I remembered vividly from that show.
I understand everyone saying they wish Charlie spoke more is outta wanting to know his thoughts but like some people naturally speak less in groups. When I’m with my friends I’m the Charlie, I don’t carry the convo but I weigh in with my thoughts when I think it’s relevant. I just enjoy being with my friends and listening. Maybe he’s the same.
I think his long streams make up for him wanting to be quiet
Most charities are a scam and a scandal...your donation disappears into Charity organization internal fees and charges (e.g., wages, office rent, marketing etc, etc) with approx. 5-10% getting to the intended recipients.
Your 100 percent right,I remember when I found that out and man it's gut wrenching that people take advantage of people trying to help
NGL it will always be funny to see people complaining about the IRS hiring people and then complaining how the famously massively underfunded IRS can't catch people, but are also somehow catching the little man committing tax fraud. Rich ppl be crazy.
Jacksons theme song is 'night nurse by gregory issacs' 😂
I feel like Kaya actually gets off on complaining, he gets so feral and hyperfocused when he gets going on a bitch rant
I think he's just jaded and generally unhappy about a lot and complainings how he deals with his frustration
@@squeet0 Yeah I kinda feel like a jerk for what I said but it's just really annoying to me
It is his charm
@@03e-210a yeah the same way that a mental handicap is charming
I just watched the SKillup podcast as well where they briefly addressed the Charity issue at the begining. I am not one to point fingers over the internet these days, I'm to old for that, I just really hope the money goes to the right place and does not just stay with the company pocketed...
You actually can seal mold with KILLZ primer I believe. Supposed to clean the area thoroughly first though
Honestly Marvel should just stop trying to bring back the Infinity Wars characters and move on from that all-time high fever.
The reason their movies flop is a total lack of proper advertisement for it. Half the movies they've released I had no idea even existed until they were already out, and then they put so much emphasis on these universally hated actors trying to put the message out "WE DON'T CARE ABOUT THE HATERS! :)" when in reality that's the only reason they still got hired to do another movie, to "own the haters".
It's such self-destructive behavior that only Disney could come up with. Everything Disney touches turns grossly politically correct with care for quality over quantity.
The way Jirard reacted was the behaviour of someone who got caught
It takes them YEARS to think of where to donate the money, but somehow it didn't take them YEARS to set up the organization, book guests, host shows, and think of their personal expenses? Please.
You cut it out and replace that part of the wall lmao
It's ironic that Kaya, the previous alcoholic and eater of salt by the brick is the one in better health
I think the reason for the charity stuff is more simple than people think. Content/exposure. Charity events are always bigger than the person running it and can keep them relevant or even get more eyes on their stuff. They dont make money from the charity (that we know of) but subs and views on videos about it from the exposure of having Jamie Lee Kurtis? Not to even mentions potential connections being made. That's worth doing. The second part of holding onto the money after is probably just saving it to dump into something at once for even more content (since hes the "completionist") it would be to build a new research center or something.
Thanks boys
Hey! Sombrero spiderman would be fun!😂
Games like cyberpunk shouldn’t be nominated for best ongoing support. I dislike the fact that we nominate games that release terribly and then just overtime become what they were promised to be, the more we celebrate it the more it seems fine. Also I think kaya needs to relax what he sees about people being soft on twitter is twitter most people are normal and seems just as whiny ngl
I mean, even if he donates it all now, he could still be liable for fraud for misleading people so long.
Due to the increase in mentions of the talos principal and it being on sale on steam, i have aquired both 1 and 2, thank you jackson, i hope you get your third game
At first I thought it was just negligence and incompetence but after seeing that Him or someone from his "charity" tried to take down Karl Jobsts video yeah no this is one hundred percent malice
my man lives his life like he does and somehow has the audacity to insult kiera nightly
astonishing
Alita battle angel was basically a shot for shot of the anime, but with additions.
"Bill Gates kid" LMAO
what is the name of the song in the outro?
I wonder if one of his expenses was downloading all the E-shop games :P
People saying captain marvel did well in theaters never bring up that the movie came out between the wait time of infinity war and endgame. So who isnt gonna see the next mosrvel movie between that time to be sure they know who captain marvel is
The fact Geoff Keighley wont hire an actual security team because doesn’t most or all award shows have them? Also why didn’t they re cast the flash Ezra miller anyone. And look at logan paul how long was his crypto zoo thing.
Open hands to get the money, closed hands when giving it away
Is Kaya feeling chilly?
I think the biggest snub with the game awards is that there was not a single nomination for Octopath Traveler 2. Objectively a great game with a phenomenal soundtrack and I'll be that guy, I liked it more then, Mario Wonder, And Resident Evil 4.
The lack of action from him and his foundation is telling
The organization's bank account is just a self reported tax form, the money might now be there. Hence why the IRS usually does audits
Hope Andrew feels better soon and another good ep fellas
The thing that I worry about with GTA 6 is I feel like rockstar already jumped the shark with 5 like in 5 you have laser weapons, flying cars, a yacht, a jet pack, car with a parachute, dozens of jets, and you can get a literal submarine. And so much more. like I worry that they ran out of ideas or they’re just gonna redo the same thing and it’s just gonna be a rehash of 5
Rockstar made the feminist in RDR2 immortal because people got offended at videos where she was killed. They've already lost their edge now we'll just see how dull they'll become.
Armored core should have had spider man 2s slot. But im sure sony paid someone off or something. Cause if not armored core there many other games above spider man 2.
4 days since the video about the scandal released and still nothing being done about the money. Plus they tried to get the video taken done. Something clearly isn't right about the whole thing.
Hey Jackson, could you put a link to the outro song in the description?
Alita Battle angel is based
I've always been sad when one of them is gone. Not when Andrews not there for some reason.
18:20
It wouldn't be an Official Podcast episode without one of Kaya famous "augh, these people who care" rants😐
i love you guys
Great 👍🏻 video nice 👍🏻 hype!!!!!!!!!
Clean mold with white vinegar. Not only gets rid of it but helps prevent it from coming back.
The last GTA shifted gdp on release iirc so I don't think earnings are an issue. And rockstars stated reason for not making the game sooner was the current world being beyond parody. I don't think they'll be pandering too much myself.
I wish Lies of P got nominated for GOTY tbh
27:00 kaya forgets he-man exists
Thought Jirard was one of the better ones. Cant believe hed pull this after his mom went through dementia herself
Yall entirely forgot that indie games and AAA games have Double-A games in between them
I had to remove material when I was removing mold in my house. Safest way to go but rather tedious.
I’ve never heard the term “safe-edgy” before. Now I have a name to put to that, thanks
i don't know if i heard it somewhere before or if i really came up with it, but i call it Nerf Edge. it's not sharp, it's foam.
Charlie: "Captain marvel did really well." Of course it did, it released between the two biggest Marvel movies.
he robbed us with open hands
Kaya had me weak this pod😂
Boogie “deserved an LA 10 instead of an Arkansas 8” but ended up with an East High 7
Oh wow is it Thursday already?
“Why is this guy cool?”
“ANTS”
Idk why I find that so funny 😂😂 maybe it’s just Kaya saying it so monotone
The irony of it being called the Open Hands Charity.
The hands are open to flip you off when you ask for charity money
just think of the rick and morty sean where he eats an orange cause of scurvy
