Thing about that "WHY ARE YOU SCARED OF MY WOMANLY PARTS?!" post is that you just know if OP had agreed to do it, she'd have called him a pervert, threatened to report/sue him and refused to pay.

I wish artists would stop apologizing for their prices. Don’t say “I’m sorry but my prices are fixed” just say “prices are fixed”. It’s not rude. You don’t owe them anything. They asked a question and the answer is no. Saying no is not rude. You have nothing to apologize for.
I can only imagine them saying it to be nice to someone who has a pretty good reason for asking for services for free (raising money for children with cancer for example would be a good reason to at least ask, I think). I mean, they don't have to, but it sounds nicer to a person genuinely asking for a good cause.
Yep I bought a table off a carpenter he wanted it gone to clear up space, two hundred and fifty euro for a georgous slab coffee table with intricately hand carved legs. I gave him double that with the promise to return in the spring to commission a couple of adirondacks. Carpentry isn't even his job he's a solicitor he probably makes 250 an hour.
As a balloon artist myself I can confirm that literally walking in to any store and making balloons for free and in exchange for handing out cards is true
I was called into jury duty once and a balloon artist happened to be in the waiting room with us (pre-covid). He gave us lessons on how to do bears and a parrot using the horde of balloons in his backpack, and even gave out free artwork. He said he always enjoyed the practice because he would compete, but he did give out his card. I still have it to this day.
You can't even try to imagine how a man can be such an ego-bloated failure of a husband and still think their marriage will hold. He must think to himself that he can get anything he wants if he's angry enough about it. He deserves to have as much as possible taken from him during the divorce proceedings, just to strike a point home.
I’d buy that cake for 20 and when I get it ask for his wife’s phone number to “roast” her. Then I’ll call her and say she has to leave his sorry ass and if I ever need another cake like that (they cost a fortune in my country) how much would it be.
I half-expected one of the answers to just straight up say "Why do you insist on showing off your private parts to people? Seems pretty annoying and weird".
It's possible it was getting flagged by TH-cam. If you read some ppsts too you'll see he replaces alot of lines now that contain non-kid friendly words.
Me: Are you a celebrity? No? In that case, what exposure would you possibly have, 17 people all named Karen who'll only want me to work for them for free? CB: NO! …18 people named Karen...
The story that annoyed me most was car cake one. I bet that wasn't the first time this guy behaved like a 10 year old spoiled kid yet his wife still made the effort for him. She deserves someone who appreciates her.
"We are a billion-dollar company and we're celebrating our partnership with another billion-dollar company. We really can't pay for your balloon twisting service because that would mean we lose money and that's bad business." I just checked his prices and GODDAMN those companies are being cheap.
And the rates you're looking at are actually much higher than they were when I first wrote the blog post! I think I was charging around $150 an hour back then, and I probably would have discounted a large booking. Having me there for five hours or so certainly would have been less than $500 back then (I'd charge a lot more these days, but I'm a lot more established now).

Bit of info regarding the PhD: For a lot of the hard science fields, the university actually pays a living stipend to the grad students. At least at the place I went to, the professor would come up with proposals and apply for grants - government funding. It was then mainly the grad students and a few undergrads who'd do the legwork in the lab to get stuff done. As such, the government would feel like it wasn't getting its money's worth if progress was slow, and progress would be slow if the grad students had to balance lab work and earning enough to live. So students working on a PhD would be paid a living stipend with the expectation of working 60+ hours a week in the lab. Also, people would enter the lab with just a bachelors as a PhD candidate. (Basically, masters was just something you incidentally got along the way.) If your burned out and left early, you'd just get the masters, having been paid to get it rather than pay for it. Don't consider that a hack to get just a masters, however. Because people who burn out tend to leave with a masters, job hunting afterwards will have prospective employers look at the masters and how long it took. If you're gonna burn out, burn out in 2-2.5 years.
Here's a tip for a lot of CBs: You’re a terrible person if you think that hiring random people, minor or adult, to work for you at zero pay is a good idea.
As someone who has used a Community Food Bank that does delivery, on a few occasions, while some of the stuff one gets is hit-and-miss on ones' favorites list (not a fan of olives or kidney beans for instance), when they drive 30 minutes in stormy weather to deliver $200+ worth of groceries, you can't really complain too much. (That being said, it does help to know of folks who can utilize olives and kidney beans, and other things one might not be too fond of, in their own cooking.)
Joshua Fluke has a channel about all these scam "jobs" that are hiring, mostly in IT. He put one company on blast wanting someone with a masters to work unpaid for 2 months, and the CEO responded to him, threatening to sue. These companies are insane.
I know that magician he is always willing to be flexible with cost and does an amazing show, it makes my blood boil that people would demand he work for free when they can pay.
I’ve never even considered asking for art, design services, or any other service for free. How would artists and anyone, survive on no income? And asking them to work for free, or for a pittance (sp?) is insulting. If I can’t afford something I want I either look for an alternative, or save up and then buy the art or pay for the service at the stated price.
13:42 when I was little my mom made me a cake that looked like Neil Armstrong landing on the moon cause I was OBSESSED with space and the moon landing (still am lol). It looked kinda amateurish like that one there, but I didnt care cause it was freaking awesome! And WAAAAAY better than anything I could do lmao. This guy should make his own if he thinks his wife's is so bad lol
When I was a kid, one of my older sisters (16 years my elder) was into buying cake molds that were in the shape of famous characters - so like Darth Vader's helmet or Bugs Bunny. You would bake the cake in it and then get an icing bag and dot the entire surface and sides with little dabs of different colored icing to show who it was. It was painstaking and meticulous work, and I really appreciated it on my bday. As someone who has become interested in baking, I'm fortunate to have surrounded myself with people who appreciate what I make as I'm learning. It may not always look the best, but everything has tasted good - or at least was edible enough to choke down.

"Do you know anybody who's new to the party industry and who would be interested in partnering with us?" Translation: Welp since we can't sucker a Pro, let's try snaring a newbie who doesn't know their way around things yet.
Life advice: If someone says they are struggling and need money for basic amenities like clothes and groceries, but aren't willing to just accept actual clothes (unless new and an expensive brand) or groceries... They are bsing you. Period. A person with or without children who hasn't eaten in 2 days would NEVER decline free food... Even if they appear homeless, if you buy them water and some food and they complain about you getting cheap stuff or not just giving them money, they aren't homeless, they are the "Professional homeless". Yes, there are people who actually make a living pretending to be homeless. By kind but be safe as well.
There's is one thing I always default to when people complain about artists, designer, crafters, etc. PAY YOUR ARTIST! It's not hard. If you can't afford it; don't get it. Don't even message someone about 'discounts' and 'exposure'.
The OP in the Fortune 500 story was probably concerned about getting sued. Unlikely to happen, but such a company could utterly Ruin him if it wanted to.
Thanks for the shoutout - I'm the magician/balloon artist in this video. Just a quick answer to the final question (which I get a lot): why redact the company's name? Yes, it was a Fortune 500 Company, but the lady in question was probably an assistant manager at their local store. She probably makes around $50k a year (if that) and is just trying to do her job. I wasn't trying to get a regular person like that pulled in to a viral lynch mob type of situation. Because, knowing these companies, the easiest thing for them to do would have been to fire the manager in question and make her a scapegoat. I wouldn't have slept well at night knowing that a working shmoe -- just like me -- lost her job because her company decided to make her a scapegoat for practices they were happy she deployed when it was making them money, right up until it started making them look bad. Glad you all enjoyed the story!
Hey rslash, just a friendly reminder that the sciences are typically well subsidized in the states and pay you to get a doctorate. I’ve been getting a stipend of 28k/year plus insurance and tuition paid by my university since I got my bachelors three years ago, and they’ll be raising the stipend to 31k this year. This means that CB pays you less than you get paid to get the degree.
Honestly, the only thing I think wrong with the cake is it looks a little squished, like if it was a little longer it would probably be an incredible copy.
Hey, Rslash I hope you're OK, if you happen to just be taking a break then that's perfectly alright, we understand or if it's a technical issue then I hope it gets sorted soon! We're here for you and while I, unfortunately, can't speak for everyone, I personally can and will wait as long as it takes. Please give Yugo a hug from us!

As someone who has used a Community Food Bank that does delivery, on a few occasions, while some of the stuff one gets is hit-and-miss on ones' favorites list (not a fan of olives or kidney beans for instance), when they drive 30 minutes in stormy weather to deliver $200+ worth of groceries, you can't really complain too much. (That being said, it does help to know of folks who can utilize olives and kidney beans, and other things one might not be too fond of, in their own cooking.)
The car cake: OP’s wife, run away! He’s an entitled brat :/ she could do so much better
Joshua Fluke has a channel about all these scam "jobs" that are hiring, mostly in IT. He put one company on blast wanting someone with a masters to work unpaid for 2 months, and the CEO responded to him, threatening to sue. These companies are insane.
"Art is easy, give it to me for cheap or free!"
If it's so easy, then do it yourself.
I lost my shit with the Detroit one. With him cussing lol
11:37 I was eating when that part came on. Man, that sudden change of tone caught me of guard
That went zero to 100 in 1 second.
Never deliver anything to Detroit's west side, unless it's at a police station.
Laughed my ass off about the choosing beggar sending that insult tells you alot about the guy
"Why won't you look at my lady parts!" I don't want to because I've been disappointed enough
2:51 I love it the conversations goes from "can you deliver to me" to "this is really starting to piss me off" in like 5 messages.
That one guy who answered the fortune500 just wiped the floor them.
He showed that intern, for sure. I doubt the company cares, though.
"Art is relatively easy" says the one who's begging for art rather than drawing what they want themselves
Lol a South African was in a rslash my guy Johannesburg is the number one place to avoid if you hate being asked for money

I mean the cake doesnt look like its made by a michellin star chef, but It absolutely look amazing for a local bakery
I know that magician he is always willing to be flexible with cost and does an amazing show, it makes my blood boil that people would demand he work for free when they can pay.
that cake story was so outrageous! unbelievable!
I’ve never even considered asking for art, design services, or any other service for free. How would artists and anyone, survive on no income? And asking them to work for free, or for a pittance (sp?) is insulting. If I can’t afford something I want I either look for an alternative, or save up and then buy the art or pay for the service at the stated price.
13:42 when I was little my mom made me a cake that looked like Neil Armstrong landing on the moon cause I was OBSESSED with space and the moon landing (still am lol). It looked kinda amateurish like that one there, but I didnt care cause it was freaking awesome! And WAAAAAY better than anything I could do lmao. This guy should make his own if he thinks his wife's is so bad lol
When I was a kid, one of my older sisters (16 years my elder) was into buying cake molds that were in the shape of famous characters - so like Darth Vader's helmet or Bugs Bunny. You would bake the cake in it and then get an icing bag and dot the entire surface and sides with little dabs of different colored icing to show who it was. It was painstaking and meticulous work, and I really appreciated it on my bday. As someone who has become interested in baking, I'm fortunate to have surrounded myself with people who appreciate what I make as I'm learning. It may not always look the best, but everything has tasted good - or at least was edible enough to choke down.
@@chocolatestraw3971 what mattered to me wasn't that the cake looked good, it was that my mother surprised me with it and worked hard becasue it meant alot to me
I hope the woman who got her ungrateful husband a car cake divorces him.
"I can legally get the name from you" highly doubtful
I like your profile picture!
The first one "We want the best. But we don't want to pay for it."
I literally got a higher hourly rate than that PhD internship fresh outta undergrad. I'm a chemist.

“Why won’t you let me have the last word!?” Is more like it
not wanting to see someone's reproductive organ and then getting called a weird virgin
it is called basic courtesy, like bruh
*Person lives in durant*
Me: heh, like the Pokémon...no one else Gonna think that
RSlash: Durant? So they live in the Pokémon?
Me: -shocked Pikachu face-
rSlash: "Imagine playing for your bachelors degree..."
Me: *Laughs in European*
Well, still gotta get rent and food from somewhere. Though I am thankful I dont have to pay 250K just to study.
Day two of telling him he's making everyone day better
Ugh
@@adararelgnel2695 sigh
1:45 you don’t know whose hands those photos will end up in
I almost stood up and applauded at the balloon artist's letter.
"Do you know anybody who's new to the party industry and who would be interested in partnering with us?"
Translation: Welp since we can't sucker a Pro, let's try snaring a newbie who doesn't know their way around things yet.
I work in an industry where I come across a lot of choosing beggars. My favorite way to end the conversation is "have the day you deserve"
I hope RSlash is okay
Life advice: If someone says they are struggling and need money for basic amenities like clothes and groceries, but aren't willing to just accept actual clothes (unless new and an expensive brand) or groceries... They are bsing you. Period. A person with or without children who hasn't eaten in 2 days would NEVER decline free food...
Even if they appear homeless, if you buy them water and some food and they complain about you getting cheap stuff or not just giving them money, they aren't homeless, they are the "Professional homeless". Yes, there are people who actually make a living pretending to be homeless. By kind but be safe as well.
I love these videos that aren't just text based
There's is one thing I always default to when people complain about artists, designer, crafters, etc. PAY YOUR ARTIST! It's not hard. If you can't afford it; don't get it. Don't even message someone about 'discounts' and 'exposure'.
I kinda like the Range Rover cake. It's cute in a silly way.
Rslash: This person lives in Durant a Pokémon.
Me: Yeeeeessssss
the cake is so funny to me like bro you are going to eat the cake you don't even have to look at it that long get your fork and dive in damn
The OP in the Fortune 500 story was probably concerned about getting sued. Unlikely to happen, but such a company could utterly Ruin him if it wanted to.
Rslash, are you okay ? You didn't post today. Hope you are feeling well
check spotify and/or apple podcasts
2:59 So glad to see someone else who thinks Pokémon and not basketball when they hear "Durant."
I think RSlash just dropped a hint to his wife on what he wants for his Bday 😁
Thanks for the shoutout - I'm the magician/balloon artist in this video. Just a quick answer to the final question (which I get a lot): why redact the company's name? Yes, it was a Fortune 500 Company, but the lady in question was probably an assistant manager at their local store. She probably makes around $50k a year (if that) and is just trying to do her job. I wasn't trying to get a regular person like that pulled in to a viral lynch mob type of situation. Because, knowing these companies, the easiest thing for them to do would have been to fire the manager in question and make her a scapegoat. I wouldn't have slept well at night knowing that a working shmoe -- just like me -- lost her job because her company decided to make her a scapegoat for practices they were happy she deployed when it was making them money, right up until it started making them look bad.
Glad you all enjoyed the story!
Anybody else waiting on todays vid? And rewatching the others?
I'm more worried that something happened with him
Hey rslash, just a friendly reminder that the sciences are typically well subsidized in the states and pay you to get a doctorate. I’ve been getting a stipend of 28k/year plus insurance and tuition paid by my university since I got my bachelors three years ago, and they’ll be raising the stipend to 31k this year. This means that CB pays you less than you get paid to get the degree.
Sometimes in some places, Most of the time Not.
@@filipkostadinov7309 no, this is pretty standard.
One of those choosing beggars hit the dislike button........well that’s rude
9:16: Absolutely.
Absolutely.
Give us the name, OP.
Always. Pay. Your. Artists.
Yes, it needs to be repeated often.
That last person should've replied, "if art is so easy, do it yourself"
The first dislike was from Pharma Bro...
Honestly, the only thing I think wrong with the cake is it looks a little squished, like if it was a little longer it would probably be an incredible copy.
Hey, Rslash I hope you're OK, if you happen to just be taking a break then that's perfectly alright, we understand or if it's a technical issue then I hope it gets sorted soon! We're here for you and while I, unfortunately, can't speak for everyone, I personally can and will wait as long as it takes. Please give Yugo a hug from us!

My parents are out right now, and it would’ve been really weird and hilarious if they walked in right at “wHy WoN’t YoU lOoK aT mY lAdY pArTs”
Oh no, his video for today is late. I didn’t get the notification and realized it was past 9:00am (the time his videos come out where I live). I NEED YOU RSLASH!
Same! My daily routine has been disrupted! 😭 I feel so off right now! And I’m hoping everything is ok.
@@itzTeTe me too, I can’t remember the last time he didn’t upload, if ever. Hopefully it’s just a technical issue and no personal emergencies! 🙏🏼
It‘s 15 o‘clock in my time zone. Today I literally just spend my time playing Zelda games while waiting for his videos. I‘m so bored😭😭
The company would probably hold him up in court for years if he revealed the name of the company. He would have gone bankrupt.
Karen: look at my v*****
Me: blocks karen and goes to lake and chucks phone in
I’m a pastry chef with my own bakery. The balloon story reminded me of some of the church associations who want free stuff for over 100 people. We had to put in our policy that if for donations, we are willing to offer 50%, or do an event with the charity event holder, but never for free.
Dude, I wouldnt even want a cake that's too pretty, I'd feel bad for eating it.
I can’t even eat peeps because they’re so cute😔
"this person lives in a Durant
Are they in a Pokemon?"
I died laughing
Everyone! rSlash is ok! he uploaded the new video to his podcast. Check Spotify and Apple Podcasts
Rslash: "This person lives in durant, this person lives in a pokemon?"
Me, a person born in durant: Well shoot, is that why I like pokemon so much?
