LMFAO. Did Ralph not even bother to do a show again? (And not even give a reason to boot?) Yeah, this dude is done.
 
That being said, I’m not going to stop. There are still a lot of people who want to watch my program five nights a week. There are still thousands of podcast downloads. It has been a bit of struggle the last couple weeks, like trying to find a lost object in the dark. But there have been good shows as well. I’ll continue to try to build on those while getting back to the booking of entertaining guests. This is not a note of capitulation, it is one of clarification. I thought it would be better than a 100 word tweet about why I wasn’t doing the show tonight. The reason for Tuesday’s absence? I simply didn’t have enough time to prepare due to “real life” commitments and I didn’t want to “phone” something in, even though Jussie Smollett’s bullshit probably would have allowed me to do so.

That cope though. Go on Ralph, keep telling yourself you matter.

I used to sit and wonder how anyone would ever suffer from “burnout.” It just didn’t make sense to me. How could someone with a successful enterprise that doesn’t really seem to involve much work get burned out? Just show up, do your shtick, and come back the next day to do it all over again.


Thankfully (lol), I no longer have to wonder about this phenomenon because I have fallen victim to it myself. Even during the halcyon days of the #Killstream, there were many nights when I didn’t want to go on the air. There were even more nights where I did actually end up going on there air, but only with a few drinks to steel my resolve. This, combined with the fact that the drinking usually did make the show better, led to a bit of dependence. Something that wasn’t required at the outset suddenly became more of a necessity. I’ve heard comedians and other entertainers talk about this sort of thing before, but I never truly understood it until recently.


Now, I could just continue to drink and do the show as I have for the past year. In fact, for many months, that was my conscious decision. I’m not breaking any laws, or the terms of my probation, by doing so. But it has affected my overall health and wellbeing. I remember coming out of that hellhole last February like it was yesterday. I was apprehensive about what would come next, but I was fit, rested, and ready. I can no longer lay claim to any of those. As as result, I’ve decided over the last week to reenter the world of sobriety and fitness. It wasn’t easy at first. It still isn’t easy now, either, but I’ve committed to doing it and will continue upon that path.


It’s been a great year, on the whole. I’ve met many amazing people and done things in my internet career that I never thought I would do. But I’ve also played right into the hands of the people who genuinely want to see me fail by giving them ammunition to use against me. Even though much of what has been said about me is false, I can’t blame the real mistakes on anyone other than myself and perhaps the Wall Street Journal. (I kid…mostly.)


Putting out something like this will be seen as a weakness by some. Others will hold it up as an admission of defeat. But there is something freeing about the written word. As magical as a live show can be, a planned, edited declaration is in many ways more risky than an off the cuff statement. So, here it is.


What will I do going forward? Well, it’s obvious that the show itself is in a state of flux. Zidan and Gator have not “left” the show, but they aren’t “there,” either. They’re pursuing interests beyond this realm of the internet and I do not begrudge that in the slightest. I’m sure they will be back around here and there, but I doubt they will be back day in and day out, as they used to be. As a result, I have to either get used to doing the show solo or with revolving co-hosts, until some sort of new balance can be struck. In truth, I’m still working on it. After doing a weekday show with two other people for an entire year, you sort of get used to having them there every night. It takes time to evolve.


That being said, I’m not going to stop. There are still a lot of people who want to watch my program five nights a week. There are still thousands of podcast downloads. It has been a bit of struggle the last couple weeks, like trying to find a lost object in the dark. But there have been good shows as well.

I simply didn’t have enough time to prepare due to “real life” commitments and I didn’t want to “phone” something in, even though Jussie Smollett’s bullshit probably would have allowed me to do so.


I will be back Wednesday night and the rest of the week. I’ll also be in New York City the weekend of April 5th, where I look forward to hopefully meeting some of you. I realize this post will be poured over and parsed in videos and streams, but I decided to make it nonetheless. I hope it proved to be a good enough update on the show for those of you who care to read it.


Thank you, as always, for your support.

I would bet that he hates having to handle the technical shit on his own, so without Zidan or Gator he can't just sit there and bullshit while drinking. 1.5 Hours a Day. Even DSP can "work" for 6 hours a day.

Their is so basically no technical shit to manage in regards to streaming. Test audio levels before streaming. Hit a button to start streaming. Turn on intro music clip. Turn on graphical overlay. Play outro music at end. Mute when you need to cough. Then stop streaming. The end. That's literally it. Some of those steps are even optional. It's all just pressing a few really obvious buttons. Even most of that work can be reduced to a single key press if you use chains or whatever they're called in OBS which basically macros a bunch of predetermined actions down to a single button. I went from zero knowledge to professional quality streaming within a week. It's like turning on your computer levels of hard.

Sorry to sperg, though. Not really directed at you. I keep seeing people talking about streaming as if its hard and it pinches my pennies.

So with Jim saying that TRR has had a fall from grace will that be enough for Ralph to finally step back and assess what went wrong the last couple of months? I'm doubtful that it will, but if anything could wake him up it's Jim.

Gonna be a massive faggot and quote my own post to give it a ?

Wages of Gin? More like wages of Jim.
 
"I'm sorry I can't come in to work, but it's not as important as not working." Excuses. It's 1.5 hours of pulling up articles and talking about them. Imagine expecting your paycheck for no-call no-show at work and then getting angry when your boss (the audience) doesn't care about your excuses. Imagine expecting to be respected like a professional but then blaming your problems on everyone and everything besides your own behavior. "That was my depression!" - DSP

The guests don't even matter. People want to show up to bullshit in chat and talk about current events. It's not about Ralph as much as he wishes it were. He was making money for providing a platform for others to discuss topics and have fun in real-time. Warski had this same problem: kills the Golden Goose because it's not what he wanted his show to be.

The fall of the Killstream is Ralph's fault. Now he's playing the "health" card as if you can't just NOT DRINK if it's that big of a deal for him. "Thanks for the money dummies, because that's what you fucking are. A bunch of empty dummies that GAVE ME MONEY to get nothing in return. Thanks!"

Yes, but for non-technical people simple things are very difficult and it's clear that Ralph doesn't like any amount of "work" at all. Just give him money.

You run an internet show where you do basically no prep, shoot the shit, and read articles.

You are a weak fucking faggot if this is really that much of a nerve wracking experience for you. Get therapy.

It's an excuse like when "Nora ate some spicy chocolate and I have to stay with her" ... she can't be away from you for 1.5 hours? She also eats spicy shit all the time apparently, so I have a hard time believing a "tummy ache" would prevent you from doing the job your Patrons are paying you for.

The more you pay an entertainer/creator money the less likely they are to keep producing content or entertaining. I've seen this so many times. Videos are produced on a regular schedule, but as soon as they start making really good money (so they can quit their day jobs) they stop making regular content.

Ralph, this is some sweet cope and all, but you should have done this when the gunt meme that started this spiral emerged. You should have owned it and said: "yeah everyone, I'm en route to not being a fatbodied alcoholic that drools over barbeque and eats trash like a single-digit IQ mongrel", but alas here we are; your show has collapsed, your co-hosts have fled for various reasons, and yet again you provide ample fuel for Corey and the cowboys to harass you in real-life. Wages of Gin seems like a post made that was marinated in maker's mark first.
 
I remember in the early #killstream days people used to constantly talk about how Ralph would be screwed without Zidan and Gator. It was always from a good viewpoint of "these guys are useful/great" but nevertheless: how right they were!

I'm not trying to defend Ralph or anything, but at least he's acknowledging he's got a problem. It seems like he really does have a serious problem with alcohol/drugs/social media. If he does decide to take time away from the internet to try and confront those issues, then I can't really begrudge him that.

probably :optimistic: though

I would bet that Zidan doesn't see any value in it anymore especially if he's been working his real, big-boy job. Gator is probably tired of doing the technical work for a show that is inconsistent and doesn't pay. I would bet there was a "you'll get paid" when they were making beaucoup bucks, but after Stream.Me died the money stopped rolling in. TRR Tonight isn't getting nearly as much money as they used to. Gator is probably had to get a real job and doesn't care to plan his schedule around whenever the Gunt decides to stream.

"Everything's fine" maybe, but it's been weeks for Zidan, and now Gator is starting to be MIA.... it sure doesn't seem fine.

He's doing a show tomorrow, he's not stepping away.

And after this I can only see the bullying intensify.
 
People have spent weeks or maybe even months trying to give ralph advice and otherwise be helpful towards him and the show in general. They were yelled at, called trolls/spergs, blocked, booted and otherwise treated poorly in response. That's why he is getting this negative reaction right now. It's another "We told you so" moment. He doesn't get to just away scott free after fessing up to his problems.
