You guys may have seen our newest video About how Jake Paul and RiceGum were promoting a gambling site that's likely a scam to children On their YouTube channels, [RiceGum] $10,000 handbag! And since then a lot of people have been talking about it, but whats fascinating is that they BOTH responded And I'm really happy to report that they were very thoughtful They were very intentional, clearly they put a lot of time, effort, and thought into these responses and I thought they were just so refreshing to see somebody really owning and taking responsibility maturely for mistakes So let's start with Jake He responded; I posted my video on Twitter and Jake responded very eloquently here, he said [reading tweet] Lol, love this vid, heart I gotta tell you, this response, I sat on it for about an hour 'cause I really I was like, "Did- do you know this is a video about you?" "Did you watch the video? You loved this?" [Jake Paul, distorted] COFFEE You loved this video, Jake? I was trying to- I was really trying to make sense of it [Jake, distorted] I drank SO MUCH COFFEE I mean, it's possible he just hadn't had a cup of coffee in a couple hours and he was confused you know? I mean, who knows what's going on in that guy's head So I responded to him, I said, [reading tweet] Because I just wanted to be like "You know what you're talking about, you know what you're saying, right?" And he said, [reading tweet] "Yes love it!!" Hmm? I guess he loves selling gambling to underage kids so, there you have it- Jake Paul has owned it! He has tooken responsibility He's been super thoughtful, He has been very straightforward, very transparent with us and- he's a fan! Apparently, Jake Paul is an Hila Kleiner seems like he's a fan of ours, so, that's pretty exciting! But the real response came from RiceGum who put out a video yesterday and what you see is RiceGum turning into a full-on nark [Rice] -he did the same type of video- the same type of video! like three months ago No one said anything. It wasn't a problem back then! Look, look, look- all these guys right here? They're in David Dobrik's crew! Whatever, they're "influential," got kid fans, same thing opened up boxes. This was three weeks ago, way before I was doing it Why did no one bring it up three weeks ago or even talk about these guys? This guy, Morgz, same exact thing literally same thing
4 months ago RiceGum is a straight up snitch he's on the streets he's been interviewed by detectives and he straight up giving out everybody's name to try to reduce the sentence on his acts these YouTube streets don't take kindly to snitches and he's trying to snitch out like kids channels, like watch this [Rice] oh, don't even get me started as last night Guava Juice have more subscribers than me, why is nobody talking about this guy? and he makes slime videos, he makes slime videos,
do you know what that means? no one over the age of 10 is watching slime videos I'm sorry man like I've been cursing on my videos so I got some older kids younger kids this guy got all kid fans bro, did you know what these slime guys are capable of? you know what they bury in their slime, Rice? wow, he went after the slime kid, Guava Juice bro, you better move, you better change your name after you snitched on Guava Juice ohoh, no way and let's talk about your thumbnail before we watch the video are you trying to say that I'm not beautiful (thicc)? what exactly are you trying yo say with this thumbnail that I'm not a voluptuous dad? I'm telling you guys man I'm not playing around 2019
I have not playing around I posted yesterday I'm here again today I'm gonna see you guys tomorrow but how is everybody doing
hope everyone was doing fine yesterday I was doing really good man great vibes great energy and then today man not so much I woke up to this man the front page of Twitter talking about Jake Paul and RiceGum under fire for promoting gambling sites to kids bro, Are there police outside your house? Is that the snitch police in your driveway? How are you ignoring the fact that the police are in your driveway RiceGum? How are you gonna make a video with the police in your driveway? What the heck is going on at your house? the FCC is here to investigate RiceGum already that didn't take long at all I think they might be here to impound your stuff after you narked out all these powerful people they're gonna be coming after you dude there's no way to start the year like-
I just need to clear this up because I don't even think it's a big deal So the other day I posted a video where I was promoting this website my management just came to me was like yo Rice here's this deal about the app or whatever you get paid right I love how he describes it as just yo my management hooked me up, I don't think about anything, I don't consider anything they just said yo here's this thing it's gambling for kids it's lightly rigged the top prize is a 250 million dollar house obviously that's not real you wanna do this? yeah sure of course I'll make a video about that, I don't think about anything [more RiceAss nonsense] I really don't understand your point, how are you comparing this, um nobody ever made the argument that working with
sponsors is wrong, people are saying that doing gambling sites that are likely a
scam for kids is wrong, that's what you did you're not addressing that
[Rice] so my numbers are higher so imagine how much they offered me right so the money
was on the table and if I wanted the money I just had to open up a few
supreme boxes and shoe boxes and boom I get the money so I was like yo that sounds easy
enough I dropped this video really think
nothing much of it you guys don't understand they offered me two hundred
thousand dollars to do this. What am I supposed to care about my fans? guys you
don't understand they offered me so much money that it
justifies bending any morals or ethics I have Rice why do you think they're
offering so much money because it's a freaking ridiculous scam, I'd be
surprised if you are any of these people even get your money out from these guys
I have a feeling that mystery brand is gonna run off with all this money and
not even pay anyone out And then just outta nowhere all these random ass youtubers outta nowhere coming and droping exposed videos, calling me out for doing this doing that about the
whole gambling thing is like even h3h3 yo guys I actually filmed this video
yesterday and at the time h3h3 was the most popping youtuber to call me out, but the
things have changed. This morning! PewDiePie just drop a video on me, I'm in the
title I'm in the thumbnail, this dude is the biggest youtuber in the world man
I guess this is like a big deal he's almost like gloating he's almost proud
of it he's like yo h3 he's kind of big but PewDiePie recognized me woh
I guess this is kind of a big deal I guess I'm kind of relevant again PewDiePie
acknowledged me, oh oh, we're back no but this is a serious deal you guys. So now
you're gonna see RiceGum's primary argument and his defense is that other
people have done it too now I found out about this through RiceGum and Jake because these are the numbskulls that generally do the stupid
things and so when they do stupid things obviously it pops up on someone's radar more,
I think what he thinks is that everyone's out to get him and
that's not the case it's just how I found out about it,
but what he does here is a beautiful thing he snitches out everybody else and these
YouTube streets don't take kindly to snitches just fine it so funny like
I think it's hilarious that like this you know gambling thing is the current
you know topic of discussion right now it's like a big deal but it's just like
there's this youtuber named 'Reaction Time' he actually has more subscribers than me [OOF]
I don't know how because he's not cooler than me but anyway, he made the same type of video,
the same type of video like three months ago no one said anything it wasn't a
problem back then so I looked into that Reaction Time definitely a popular channel geared towards kids as far as I can tell and this guy interestingly has removed his
video since the controversy happened it's just gone I went on Twitter to see
if he had made a statement about it he has not made a statement so he kind of
just made it disappear luckily I was able to find a quick re-up load so let
me take a quick look at it mystery boxes mm, it is such an interesting
concept, you pay money for a mystery box you know my biggest problem with this
guy is if you close your eyes and listen he sounds just like Logan Paul listen
just close your eyes this site is the ultimate site better than any other for mystery boxes yeah I watched it he's just as guilty as everyone else look look all these guys right here, they're in David Dobrik crew whatever, they're influential, got kid fan same thing opened up boxes this was three weeks
ago way before I was doing it why did no one bring it up three weeks ago or even
talk about these guys it's for the same reason that you think people are picking
on you dude it's because you have a larger more influential channel what's
so hard to fathom about that you have a big channel with impressionable audience
so you have more of an obligation and when you do something stupid it's
obviously gonna attract more attention but I love how you're snitching oh oh oh
for the 3-pointers snitching same exact thing literally same thing
four months ago he's not even promoting gambling to kids, he IS a kid
yeah this dude is 17 gambling it's not a problem alright it is a problem dude it's all a
problem I love how the way he has of defending himself is just snitching on
everyone else and be like well these guys did it and nobody cared so clearly,
you know, I got nothing to apologize for in that case this is RiceGum in the
interrogation room writing a contract with Susan Wojcicki (CEO) guaranteeing himself
to be a snitch, he is an informant oh my god dude rice is gonna have to go into
protective services after this because the nest guy he threatens scares me
watch this don't even get me started as last night
Guava Juice have more subscribers than me why is no one talking about this guy and he makes slime videos, he makes slime videos do you know what that means? no one over the age of
10 is watching slime videos I'm sorry man like I've been cursing on my videos so I got some older kids younger kids this guy got all kid fans, promoted the app
2 months ago I want to tip you off RiceGum but slime makes a perfect burial goo, this guy's made tutorials on how to make slime coffins before... I would be
scared if I were you, you snitch I'm gonna sit here and just bring up every one
that did the same deal as me you kind of already just did that, you literally
brought up almost everybody who did that and Rice listen, you're a grown-up I think
I mean sure your development was arrested around 12 but you have the
brain of a 20 year old you know that just because other people did it doesn't
make it okay for you to do it I mean that's like going before a judge and
saying yes your honor I did do the crime but I would like to point out in history books that all these other people have done this crime and so...
I think I should be let go I'm just trying to say this mystery box
thing has been on the internet for like 3 to 4 months from other creators
but as soon as I do it it's a problem I actually saw some people comparing
what I did to the csgo gambling thing I'm just like what is not even close
I don't know if you guys heard about that with the csgo gambling thing there was
these two youtubers: Tmar and Syndicate right or whatever and they
were like promoting this gambling app in the video they were unboxing all these
crazy things that cost a lot of money come to find out those two guys owned
the gambling site like they were owners of it, which
mean they could have easily just went into the back and just higher their
chances of winning so they got exposed that was like a whole
big thing because they're like scam in their face RiceGum is intentionally missing the point here because people are not comparing him to
csgo lotto because they think he owns mystery brand, they're only making the comparison
because it's selling gambling to minors. You're just trying to defend yourself
against stuff that doesn't really- isn't really valid, the only thing I see is a Sniiiitch I don't know what they have going on like
people keep saying that the website is sketchy and all this stuff is that you guys can form your own opinions, do your research you can form your own opinions and do your own research, unlike I did, before I sold it to you oh oh oh oh
(Wow, Ethan! Great moves, keep it up, proud of you!) I spent four dollars yo let's goo RiceAss scamming (gone wrong) oh that doesn't sound like a guy who's encouraging his fans to do their own research and come to their own conclusions I do feel bad and all, I'm like kind of defending myself and stuff but I do know I'm somewhat in the wrong I think just h3 said it best
[Ethan] and there's a reason you need to be 21 years old to gamble because you need to know what
you're doing it's a dangerous, it's addicting, it's a very- it's a vice right
it's a real vice many lives have been ruined due to gambling addiction
quite literally gambling to an 8 to 12 year old especially on YouTube
we're just supposed to be a reputable site it's true, I'm an asshole (we know)
like what was I thinking like, I can't really do much cuz I already did it the damage has been
done you guys already saw a money hungry side of me and it is what it is and there's
nothing I can really do but say sorry and give you these (expired) Amazon gift cards so
I'm sorry it just will not happen again Amazon codes 10 to 20 dollars
just a little giveaway it's the least I can do after what you know,
this you know, okay have a good day guys I'm sorry again I hope you guys
can forgive me. Let's have a good year
yeah? no? okay
(RiceScum did an oopsie) all right well anyway I am
wrong and I'm super sorry I am gonna keep the 200,000 dollars
I do admit I was wrong I shouldn't have done that
I'm gonna be giving about a hundred dollars away right now but I will be
keeping the two hundred thousand dollars and hopefully all your mom's credit
cards don't get maxed out you're gonna be doing chargebacks your mom might miss
her rent I do really apologize for all the credit
cards that were stolen and possible gambling addictions that were fostered
in a 12 year old brain when all of your neurons are firing and you're making
that connection you're getting really wired on gambling at a young age relaxing piano music

I don't think I've ever seen a RiceGum video where he didn't look like the most pathetic human being on the planet.
How does he have any fans.
The guy literally admits to being corrupt and how it was too much money to pass up (even though he's already wealthy and literally promoting an illegal and scammy product), and then ends his apology by giving out random 10 bucks Amazon gift cards? The dude will make more money out of this video than those codes, is this supposed to be seen as generous or nice from him?
Worst apology video I've ever seen. I just knew the guy from name, pretty impressed with how stupid he is thinking this is gonna help his situation with the media.
Ricegum sounds like he's about 2 minutes away from crying his eyes out. Think it's just the way he talks. Whiny.
Lol ricegum defense reminds me of when a kid in middle school would get his phone taken up and he'd say something like "How come you didn't take _____'s phone when they were texting earlier!"
When I saw that Jake Paul response I thought that was pretty pathetic in trying to save face but jesus christ if Asian Jake Paul didn't go and one up him.
What an absolute dweeb
Not sure what I hate more.
Jake paul acting (or being) a coked out idiot, or ricegum trying to weasel his way out of it by going full "whataboutism".
Feels like he is making his way through the Narcissist's Prayer here:
I love his argument "DuDe ThEy OfFeReD sO mUcH mOnEy!"
Such a childish and irresponsible defense.
He thinks he's above the CSGO lotto people people they owned the site, when by taking the cash to make the video, he's making the same conflict of interest.
Literally the least talented and least appealing human on YouTube.
