Subscribe to the channel if 7 00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,280 you're new and like stories. And with that being said, let's 8 00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:22,640 just jump right into it. So we're going to call the 9 00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,920 subscriber who submitted the story, Sam. 10 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,440 This all happened to Sam last summer. 11 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,400 And he lived in kind of a quiet suburban neighborhood. 12 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:31,880 Everyone kind of knew each other. 13 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,440 It was pretty, you know, close knit, tight knit, you know, 14 00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,280 they're close to each other. And, you know, he was just 15 00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:41,840 trying to enjoy his summer, you know, backyard barbecues, walks 16 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,360 with his dogs or anything like that, right? 17 00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:48,880 And this all changed one day when this kid, when this family, 18 00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:53,440 including this kid, this Roblox kid who all called Ben, moved in 19 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,400 next door. So the Roblox kid, Ben was about 20 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,320 12 years old. And right off the bat, it was 21 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,480 something where the subscriber, Sam, you know, he was 13. 22 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:04,920 So he was roughly the age of Ben. 23 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,920 And, you know, he knew all the other kids in the neighborhood. 24 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,160 It's not like he was best friends with everyone, but 25 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,400 everyone kind of knew everyone. Sometimes I'd have bigger group 26 00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:16,720 Hangouts and, you know, since the new kids moving in next 27 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,960 door, he wanted to be nice. He wanted to be the kid who was, 28 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:23,960 you know, inviting and reached out to him because, yeah, it 29 00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:26,280 really is something difficult when you're moving into a new 30 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,280 place. Everyone else there probably 31 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,520 already has those tight knit relationships and it can be 32 00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,880 sometimes challenging to find a way to fit in. 33 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,400 So that was something that Sam was totally aware of and he made 34 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,480 quite a few efforts to go, you know, hang out with Ben. 35 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,280 Basically, Sam's mom got in contact, walked over the very 36 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,120 first day that they were moving in, exchanged contacts with 37 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,800 Ben's mom and Ben's parents, I should say both of them. 38 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,360 And it was something where, you know, they were, you know, they, 39 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,840 they would communicate a lot. They'd be in the same, she'd be 40 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,440 put, you know, the Ben's mom to the Facebook groups. 41 00:01:59,960 --> 00:02:02,080 Ben's parents were pretty, you know, they were pretty 42 00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:03,680 talkative. They liked to hang out with 43 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,360 people. And it'd be something where, you 44 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,520 know, the subscriber, Sam's mom would be like, hey, like Sam 45 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,240 would love to, you know, hang out with your son. 46 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,560 You know, what is he doing today? 47 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,520 He'd love to integrate him into the community kind of stuff 48 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,600 along those lines. And almost every single time, 49 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,280 you know, Ben's mom would be like, Oh my God, that's so nice. 50 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,600 Thank you, thank you, thank you. Like that kind of like mom over 51 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,920 nice tone or whatever. And but she'd be like, yes, but 52 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,000 he's actually told me that he's completely booked out the entire 53 00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:37,000 day, which like, OK, he's completely booked out the entire 54 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,360 day. That's something like I would 55 00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:44,560 say if I have like work and meetings and client work and 56 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,440 stuff that like I literally have my calendar booked out. 57 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,840 But bro is actually 12 years old. 58 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:51,920 What do you mean he's booked out for the entire day? 59 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,000 Is buddy some like 12 year old running a massive company or 60 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,400 something? Like, I could understand once or 61 00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:01,280 twice if he's like having a friend over from his Old Town 62 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,120 who's coming out to hang out with him for a couple of days or 63 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,360 he's, I don't know, has some big exam, some school to do. 64 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,240 But also it's the summer. But it got really, it was kind 65 00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,880 of strange. And during this, during the 66 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,280 first week or two, when this would keep happening, at a 67 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,600 certain point, Sam told his mom, like, hey, look, you don't have 68 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,200 to keep asking. I think if he wants to hang out 69 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,240 at this point, I've already tried. 70 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,800 I've already put in a good effort and maybe in a couple 71 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,840 weeks I'll try again. Maybe he's just really nervous. 72 00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,760 Maybe, yeah, 'cause The thing is also when him being quote UN 73 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,520 quote booked out, maybe he's just really nervous to meet new 74 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,520 kids. Maybe he's just really anxious 75 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,200 and would rather stay in his room. 76 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:43,280 So, you know, Sam was like, all right, I'm going to give you 77 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,600 some space. And Sam would kind of notice, 78 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:53,240 though, like Ben would be quite often in his room and his desk 79 00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:55,360 and his computer would be facing away from the window. 80 00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,280 So when you have his window open, sometimes Sam would walk 81 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,840 by, kind of walk down the stairs in his house. 82 00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,880 And there was like a big window on the stairs where he could 83 00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,840 look out. And directly across from the big 84 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,520 window was Ben's room. And every single time, he'd walk 85 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,800 by without fault. It didn't matter if it was 2 PM, 86 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,640 2:00 AM, didn't matter what time of the day it was. 87 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:18,360 He was in his room and he was on his computer playing Roblox 88 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,519 24/7, which there's nothing wrong with a man. 89 00:04:21,519 --> 00:04:23,000 It's totally cool to like Roblox. 90 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,280 It's totally cool to be into video games. 91 00:04:25,280 --> 00:04:28,120 And at the very beginning, right, Sam didn't think anything 92 00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:29,960 of it. He just thought that, OK, well, 93 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:32,280 this kids probably really nervous to hang out with people. 94 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:35,160 He's probably real anxious and he's probably just, you know, 95 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,880 really likes Roblox. Little did he know that this kid 96 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:42,960 was crazy and he was a crazy, crazy Roblox kid. 97 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:45,800 So one of these days he's walking by. 98 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,920 It's a nice summer day. So the windows are open and it's 99 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,800 like one of those things where the moms like we need cross 100 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:52,520 breeze. We all want a cross breeze in 101 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:57,680 here, whatever. And so the windows open and sure 102 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,880 enough, like Sam is walking down the stairs and Ben's windows 103 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,440 open as well so he can once again look into Ben's room and 104 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,400 he sees him playing Minecraft. I'm sorry, Roblox, it's a Roblox 105 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,720 kid playing Roblox all day, as he was doing before. 106 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:13,880 And you know, this time was a little bit different because all 107 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,200 the other times he'd walk by and see this kid, right, playing 108 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:20,160 Roblox 24/7, you know, he got no additional context. 109 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,920 But this time he could hear him screaming at his computer. 110 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,360 Like being like, I'm a God at Roblox. 111 00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,320 No one is better than me. I'm literally better than 112 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,200 everyone else. You guys are trash, basically 113 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:36,240 trash talking the whole time. Which like, here's the thing, I 114 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,840 don't know, it's sometimes like crashing out in video games is 115 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:41,880 understandable, dude. Like this is definitely not the 116 00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:44,320 most mature thing, but I'm not going to lie that I haven't done 117 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,720 that a few times. It just happens, bro. 118 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,840 It really does. But anyways, he also sees his 119 00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:53,640 mom, Ben's mom pop and be like, hey sweetie, do you want to go 120 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:56,080 and hang out with all the other kids? 121 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,080 Like, do you want to go in and hang out? 122 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,200 And you know, a lot of them have been reaching out to me and I 123 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,160 really think that that you should go and do that. 124 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:07,400 And he's like mom, like the graphics IRL are trash compared 125 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,400 to the graphics and Roblox. And also those kids are nerds. 126 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,360 I just want to play Roblox. Why would I want to hang out 127 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:19,440 with losers like those kids? And Ben's mom's like, OK, 128 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:21,280 sweetie, but you really should do that. 129 00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:24,640 And she like closes the door. So Sam's pretty upset at this 130 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,000 point because he feels like he's gone out of his way multiple 131 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,240 times times to try to give this kid a chance. 132 00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,480 So at this point, Sam was upset and he walked down and he walked 133 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:34,680 down to like the the kitchen where his mom was at, told his 134 00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,160 mom everything that happened. His mom's like, hey, I know 135 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:41,320 that's pretty frustrating to hear that, but you have to 136 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,160 realize this kid might still be anxious. 137 00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,760 Like Ben might still be super anxious to go outside. 138 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,160 Do you think he wants to tell his mom that he's scared to talk 139 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,200 to other people? Or do you think it might be 140 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,680 easier to cope by saying, hey, I just, these kids are stupid 141 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:57,760 good. Roblox is cooler. 142 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:01,360 I'm doing what's better. And she's also like, look, this 143 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,480 was also a private interaction that you happen to overhear. 144 00:07:04,840 --> 00:07:08,880 So while I can't make you unhear it, this is usually like some 145 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,280 people, people are allowed to have bad days. 146 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,080 Maybe he was having a bad day. He obviously also doesn't even 147 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:18,520 know you, Sam, so there's no grounds to him saying this in 148 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,680 the 1st place. And so sure enough, Sam's like, 149 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:23,680 OK, fine, I get it. But like, it's just like, I've 150 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,640 been reaching out to this kid. He's like, look, she's like, 151 00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,640 look, give him a little space. Give him a couple weeks and who 152 00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,120 knows. So shortly after, a couple weeks 153 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,040 later, there's a block party. This block party was happening 154 00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,560 one like one block down from where they lived. 155 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,840 Basically, they'd cut off the two sides of the street with 156 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,000 like cones or whatever. I think there's like one police 157 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,360 officer who'd be there to make sure no car didn't accidentally 158 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,960 like go through. People would set up stands, 159 00:07:47,960 --> 00:07:50,040 there'd be games, food, super awesome. 160 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,840 Same as friends love to do this every summer. 161 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,120 It was one of those like early summer events that they always 162 00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,400 look forward to because it was a good time to see everyone. 163 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,280 The games were fun and obviously some pretty nice food. 164 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:05,360 Hey man, no complaints there. So sure enough, right, they get 165 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,840 there, they're hanging out, whatever, and this is the first 166 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,400 time that Ben actually shows up. This is the first time that Ben 167 00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,320 is but makes a makes an in person appearance. 168 00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,680 So obviously same as friends kind of look at each other like, 169 00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,600 Oh my God, is it? Is that actually Ben? 170 00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,320 So Ben does walk in there. He has it. 171 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,360 But but but but Ben walks in with his mom and he's like, Nah, 172 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,120 he's looking down and they see what he's looking down at. 173 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:32,960 Ben is holding his tablet, bro. He has a tablet, iPad, whatever 174 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,000 device. I guess he had that in addition 175 00:08:35,000 --> 00:08:37,799 to his computer so he could play Roblox on the go. 176 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:41,200 And sure enough, this kid interacts with no other kids. 177 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,120 He doesn't play any of the games. 178 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,960 He doesn't even eat any of the food he does immediately as soon 179 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:50,560 as his mom says, all right, have fun, turns around and like walks 180 00:08:50,560 --> 00:08:53,800 over to someone's yard, some random person's yard and just 181 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,480 sits down in the grass and continues to play Roblox. 182 00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:58,800 So this point, Sam and his friends kind of noticed this and 183 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,640 they're like, dude, like I get it if you're nervous. 184 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,880 And I totally also understand like, especially when I was 185 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,560 younger at some kind of sometimes it's much easier to go 186 00:09:07,560 --> 00:09:09,440 on your phone. I totally get that. 187 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,400 And you can kind of go away. I way in a corner, hang on your 188 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:13,480 phone. And I do understand that. 189 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,440 But it's also like, dude, if you're in one of these 190 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,760 situations, the real advice I can give you is like just really 191 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,360 try to put yourself out there. If you put in some effort, then 192 00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,280 as soon as you kind of like sometimes you got to put an 193 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:27,120 extra effort in the beginning, take on a lock in a friendship 194 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:28,920 like that. I know I had to like kind of 195 00:09:28,920 --> 00:09:31,640 really intentionally do that when I was in high school. 196 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,400 When I was in high school my freshman year, I did not put in 197 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,200 enough basically any effort during orientation to make 198 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,000 friends. And I had to put in a lot of 199 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,120 effort towards the end of freshman year and the beginning 200 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,280 of sophomore year. And when I say a lot of effort, 201 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:48,200 I mean a ton of effort being like, or what are you doing 202 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:49,440 here? Can I hang out here? 203 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:51,280 Do you want to do this again and again and again? 204 00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,080 And then it got to a point where I was kind of in that friend 205 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,520 group and it would just be a default that I would do things. 206 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,200 But it was a ton of effort going in in the beginning. 207 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:01,640 It wasn't mutual effort at that point because they were like, 208 00:10:01,640 --> 00:10:04,040 cool, I hang out with you, but like, I already have my friends. 209 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,280 But then it became to a point where I was just one of their 210 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,560 default friends. So sometimes you got to put an 211 00:10:08,560 --> 00:10:12,960 extra effort anyways. So at that point, the truth is, 212 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,120 these kids probably would have never seen Ben all summer 213 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,040 because his mom would have like allowed him to play Roblox. 214 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,680 He would have intentionally just stayed inside every single day 215 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:25,760 just to play Roblox. However, while the subscriber, 216 00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:28,960 Sam doesn't know the exact details of this, of whatever 217 00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:33,360 rule that Ben's mom made, essentially, Ben's mom must have 218 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,720 had a rule that was some something along the lines of 219 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,640 like, you got to be outside for at least a couple hours per day. 220 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,720 Not in your tablet, not playing Roblox outside, hanging out, and 221 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,800 maybe just like hanging out on the grass yourself or ideally 222 00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:49,040 going and hanging out with some other kids and all set it up or 223 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,040 whatever. Probably after the whole block 224 00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,360 party incident, she kind of was like, OK, clearly, like, I need 225 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,720 to intervene here. If this kid is going to have my 226 00:10:56,720 --> 00:11:00,040 son, not this kid, my son is going to have any chance of 227 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,840 making friends at all. Yeah. 228 00:11:02,840 --> 00:11:04,320 So sure enough. Right. 229 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,640 So about a couple days after the whole block party, Sam's mom, 230 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:11,600 you know, they come down. Sam wakes up. 231 00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:14,120 It's another day during the summer. 232 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,680 It's a Saturday. He comes down now. 233 00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:17,960 His mom's already making breakfast. 234 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,680 And she's like, hey, like, do you have any, Like, do you have 235 00:11:20,680 --> 00:11:22,800 any plans today? And he's like, I don't really 236 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:23,680 know. I was going to talk to my 237 00:11:23,680 --> 00:11:26,520 friends about that. She's like, look, is it possible 238 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,120 that you could invite Ben into the group? 239 00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,520 Like, I was talking to his mom and he's ready to come out and 240 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,120 hang out with you guys. And at first, you know, the 241 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:36,560 subscriber gave his mom a little bit of a look and she's like, 242 00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:39,560 hey, remember what you made? Like, what we promised that you 243 00:11:39,560 --> 00:11:42,800 wouldn't take that one out of context conversation where Ben 244 00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,920 was probably really anxious and upset and hold it against him. 245 00:11:45,920 --> 00:11:48,120 He's like, fine, sure, that can work. 246 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:51,360 So sure enough, right, the subscriber, Sam, tells his 247 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:55,480 friends to come, you know, come to his house and that they were 248 00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:57,320 going to include Ben. And the friends are like, OK, 249 00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,440 cool, whatever. He's like a new kid and let's 250 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,280 see, let's see how he is. Let's, I'd love to love to just, 251 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,560 you know, hang out and see how it is. 252 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,080 So Ben walks out of the house 'cause Sam was waiting out there 253 00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:08,520 and Sam's like, hey, man, how's it going? 254 00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:10,520 Like, good to see you. Like, good to meet finally. 255 00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,560 And Ben's like Sup and just has this like, really sad look on 256 00:12:14,560 --> 00:12:16,160 his face 'cause he can't be playing Roblox. 257 00:12:16,160 --> 00:12:18,080 He's like, all right, man. Well, my friend should be coming 258 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,000 here soon. He's just like dead silent for a 259 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:23,240 second. And Sam's like, so like, do you 260 00:12:23,240 --> 00:12:24,600 play? What do you want to do today? 261 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:28,160 And he's like, I was, I already have a game ready for us. 262 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:32,480 And he's like, oh, OK, dude. Sam's friends come whatever. 263 00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:36,440 And Bing goes on to explain that, you know, they were that 264 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,400 he that they were going to recreate his favorite, one of 265 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,160 his favorite Roblox games because if he's not allowed to 266 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,840 play Roblox on his computer, then he's going to play Roblox 267 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,840 in real life. So the friends are like, OK, 268 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:49,560 yeah, sure. We can totally try this out. 269 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,080 So basically one of the games that Ben loved was this game 270 00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,840 Ultimate Fire Simulator, and he was bragging about it online 271 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:01,400 that he was a Max level pyromancer avatar. 272 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:03,760 Whatever that means is what the subscriber quoted to me. 273 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:08,080 And he was explaining how he wanted to recreate that game in 274 00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:10,240 real life. So he was kind of just like, 275 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:14,400 does anyone have any like tools like that could help Flint and 276 00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:18,680 steal from Minecraft lighters lighter fluid. 277 00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:21,440 They're all kind of like looking at him like, okay, this kid 278 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,080 might actually be crazy, bro. And he's just looking at them 279 00:13:25,080 --> 00:13:27,680 like, what do you mean? Like I just want to play Roblox 280 00:13:27,680 --> 00:13:29,720 in real life and you guys aren't helping me. 281 00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:32,600 Gosh, I knew you guys were clowns. 282 00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,880 And he just turns around and goes back inside and same just 283 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,720 looks at all of his friends and all of his friends look back at 284 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:41,800 him because basically what just happened is this kid hangs out 285 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,760 with him for two minutes, says, hey, like, I want to recreate 286 00:13:44,760 --> 00:13:47,760 Roblox fire simulator, whatever the hell it's called or whatever 287 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,560 the heck it's called in the, you know, in real life. 288 00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:53,880 Do you have any tools to commit arson? 289 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,640 And they look at him like, oh, buddy, no, we don't have tools 290 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,400 to commit arson, bro, I'm sorry to break it to you. 291 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,240 That's just not happening. And then he gets mad about that. 292 00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:05,760 Like, that's the dumbest thing ever, dude. 293 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:09,480 Like, that is actually insane. Anyways, so the kids go on to 294 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,120 have a good day. They go on with their life. 295 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,640 But let me just say that the saga is nowhere close from being 296 00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,200 over. This is not the end of Ben. 297 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:23,120 So a couple of days later, Ben, I'm sorry, Sam walks downstairs. 298 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,280 It's another day of the summer. His mom's like, hey, like, you 299 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,640 know, you got an invitation to Ben's party. 300 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:30,840 And he's like, oh, what? Ben has a party? 301 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,360 And she's like, yeah, like, Ben is throwing a party. 302 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,280 All the kids in the neighborhood are invited. 303 00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:38,400 It's in his backyard. And it's. 304 00:14:38,680 --> 00:14:41,280 It's it's apparently inspired to be like Roblox. 305 00:14:41,280 --> 00:14:44,200 But like, in real life events. I know you played a few Roblox 306 00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,400 games before, so I, I like, you want to go. 307 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:51,040 I really think you should. And so Sam, like, reminds her of 308 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,000 the events that transpired a couple of days ago. 309 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,960 And she's like, yeah, like, OK, I get it. 310 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,040 That wasn't cool. And there isn't really an excuse 311 00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,520 like there was last time because like last time he accidentally 312 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,600 overheard this kid Ben saying something in private when he, 313 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:07,400 you know, so many things could have been happening. 314 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:10,440 There's so much context that was probably missing this time. 315 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,160 Ben was just being a massive jerk. 316 00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,680 So, you know, his mom's like, I get it, but I still really think 317 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,560 that you should go. So, you know, at this point 318 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,120 seems like all right, fine, like I'll go. 319 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,960 I'm not going to like avoid this kids party. 320 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,120 Like obviously give him another chance. 321 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:30,280 So sure enough, he walks over there and by the time the party, 322 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,320 he sees a couple other kids walking over, he hears a lot of 323 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:37,080 noise in his backyard as well and worked at the kids backyard 324 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:40,280 because they're neighbors. He walks in and this kid bends. 325 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,400 Mom's like, oh, thank you so much for coming. 326 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,600 Like if you go to the backyard, you'll see what my little boy 327 00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:47,640 band has put together.

The whole party was inspired by 346 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,520 the viral game like epic fire tycoons. 347 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,960 And he set up his backyard with all these props, right? 348 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,600 And it looked like a fun kind of like, party, kids party, 349 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:44,560 whatever.

But here's the thing. 351 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:52,440 This kid Ben secretly planned the whole time to spawn fire 352 00:16:52,640 --> 00:16:55,880 like you can in the game to quote UN quote make it more 353 00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:59,080 authentic because remember, this kid was already he obviously 354 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:02,120 didn't care to hang out with any of any of these kids. 355 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,800 This was well, I mean, no one really knew at the time, but 356 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,359 this turned out not in fact to be an effort to win them over 357 00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:11,760 and to befriend them and to make things right and yada, yada, all 358 00:17:11,760 --> 00:17:14,800 the kind of stuff like that. It was really just because he he 359 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:18,040 needed players if his mom was going to force him to hang 360 00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:21,760 outside and he was then going to make Roblox and he was going to 361 00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:24,599 make it as close to the actual game as possible. 362 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,079 But to make it as close to the actual game as possible, he also 363 00:17:27,079 --> 00:17:30,120 needed multiple players also playing with them. 364 00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:33,800 Meaning, OK, I guess I'll invite these random clowns who live in 365 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,040 my neighborhood. Bah, Bah, Bah, that's his. 366 00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,520 And that's kind of what he was thinking. 367 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,360 So anyways, you know, during the party, you know, Sam and his 368 00:17:40,360 --> 00:17:42,280 friends were hanging out. Like they're kind of like this 369 00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:46,400 is a little weird, but whatever, it's I guess we'll hang out here 370 00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:48,800 for a little bit more like, hey man, the food's pretty good. 371 00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,960 So I don't even know how much I can complain that, you know what 372 00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:53,320 I'm saying? Like I don't even know how much 373 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:56,480 I can really complain because it's still is pretty tough. 374 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,000 Like I like what I like. It's cool. 375 00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,840 I'm hanging out with my friends. No real issues there. 376 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:05,120 And during the party, they're all hanging out there playing 377 00:18:05,120 --> 00:18:07,720 some game or something. And that's when Ben snuck into 378 00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:12,680 his garage, goes into his garage, he finds these cans of 379 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,680 gasoline that is like dad had in there for something else for 380 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,640 like the lawn mower or something. 381 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,080 I, I, I, I don't even know. And Ben in his mind was like, 382 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:23,840 oh, this is basically like a fuel boost in Roblox. 383 00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:27,600 And so he goes out and he pours it all around the yard in this 384 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,040 like lava mode pattern. And 'cause he was kind of in his 385 00:18:31,040 --> 00:18:33,560 mind as like, oh, I gotta have a lava field or whatever to make 386 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,920 it more authentic to the Wope Rocks game. 387 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,520 And sure enough, right, He's like, as soon as someone starts 388 00:18:40,520 --> 00:18:42,160 actually paying attention, they're like, Oh my God, dude, 389 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:45,440 what are you doing? He's like, as part of the Roblox 390 00:18:45,440 --> 00:18:47,480 game, I'm adding in a new update. 391 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,800 There's a new update coming to the game where we're including 392 00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,520 lava modes. And he then takes out a lighter, 393 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,280 which he must have taken from his mom's somewhere. 394 00:18:56,280 --> 00:18:58,040 And he just goes, suck the thing. 395 00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:02,280 Flame shot up instantly, and they were way bigger than he 396 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:04,840 expected. I think he kind of wanted like a 397 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,680 little bit of flames to like, appear in that pattern. 398 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,640 So it's almost like, oh, it's a lava mode. 399 00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,680 But he didn't expect it to just immediately shot up. 400 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:17,160 So yeah, these these flames are way bigger than he thought. 401 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:19,720 It was already during the summer, and they didn't live in 402 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,160 the most humid place ever, so it was a little bit dry. 403 00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,760 It wasn't like a desert necessarily, but it was so 404 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:28,680 pretty dry. So they the flames started to 405 00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,920 jump from the dry grass to the fences and the fire started to 406 00:19:32,920 --> 00:19:36,840 spread like wildfire right to the neighboring neighboring 407 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:41,040 yards, including the subscribers where it torched the subscribers 408 00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:44,520 shed and half of his deck before racing towards houses, right. 409 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,320 So everyone's screaming, everyone's freaking out, people 410 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,560 go like grabbing hoses. And it was complete chaos, 411 00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,720 right? And the two homes caught a fire, 412 00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,080 Ben's home and another home next to him. 413 00:19:57,120 --> 00:19:59,560 Thankfully, the subscribers home, the only thing that caught 414 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:03,480 fire was that shed I was talking about and nothing else besides 415 00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,360 the shed. And like a little bit of like 416 00:20:05,360 --> 00:20:07,600 the grass was burnt and some fence was destroyed. 417 00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:10,200 The fire crews were able to get there, right? 418 00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,280 They're blaming their silence at the sirens. 419 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,880 And they were battling basically these blazes for hours, right? 420 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:17,760 It wasn't a quick and easy fix, right? 421 00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:19,640 So the neighborhood was evacuated. 422 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,400 The subscribers family lost their garage. 423 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:25,640 And it was a shed and the garage. 424 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,880 OK, I'm rereading this now, the shed and the garage. 425 00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,800 And unfortunately, while you know, you know, very 426 00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:33,720 fortunately, no one got hurt and the subscriber didn't lose his 427 00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,240 house. The garage was almost like a 428 00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,560 place where they put a bunch of their memories to Lego, 429 00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:40,120 something where they would like. It was almost used partially as 430 00:20:40,120 --> 00:20:44,160 a storage unit because it had like room for like 3 cars, but 431 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,200 the family only had two cars. So they're like, all right, 432 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:47,640 we'll use the rest of the storage unit. 433 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:52,080 So unfortunately, right, they lost a bunch of they lost a 434 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,960 bunch of their memories and the total damage across all the 435 00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:56,480 places was hundreds of thousands. 436 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,360 It was nuts. So also to just add fuel to the 437 00:21:00,360 --> 00:21:04,000 fire, pun intended. OK, actually not no pun 438 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:05,160 intended. Total pun intended. 439 00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:09,120 When I said that this kid, the subscriber filmed the whole 440 00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:11,920 thing on his phone for content which he was going to upload it 441 00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,240 to this like Roblox discord channel that he was in to be 442 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,120 like. This is what Roblox IRL looks 443 00:21:17,120 --> 00:21:19,640 like, but he obviously didn't upload it. 444 00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,040 He stopped filming once you realized that the whole thing 445 00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,480 was going was a complete mess. So here's a good thing. 446 00:21:26,880 --> 00:21:28,560 I don't exactly know how it happened. 447 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,480 I where the subscriber should say isn't 100% certain how it 448 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,240 happened, but sure enough, somehow that video got leaked. 449 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,200 I think this kid must have I mean, it's other kids saw him do 450 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,600 it, but I think he must have like actually texted it 451 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,640 somewhere or I don't even know exactly the details of how it 452 00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:45,160 got leaked, but it got leaked, right? 453 00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,560 And the police were able to now use this also as evidence. 454 00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,800 And Ben's parents faced negligence charges for leaving 455 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,520 that gas accessible. And sure enough, they moved out 456 00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:58,720 of the neighborhood. But that was because a lot of 457 00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:01,560 people were, you know, doing like a lot of people had to go 458 00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,520 to hotels. The family like one of bed like 459 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:09,280 it was these two sadly, dude, it was a younger couple like it was 460 00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:11,480 their first house. A good thing they had insurance. 461 00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:14,280 But that was the other house that got burned down was this 462 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:16,880 kind of young couple, which is super sad, but obviously, right. 463 00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:20,000 This kid moved neighborhoods. They were they were not coming 464 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:24,000 back And yeah, over the next like, you know, there's still a 465 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,400 lot of rebuilding in the neighborhood. 466 00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:29,800 As I said, this happened a year ago and this kid was obviously 467 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:32,280 much more of a menace than anyone could have possibly 468 00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:33,000 expected.
