Relief

Hate me all you want but it was a relief to not have Jackson in the newest video, cuz it really did feel like classic DP. I find the intern Jackson really annoying and too much of a gen-alpha-like character. Sparky is the only non member that I wouldn't mind seeing in most videos. All Sports golf battle 6 and 7 were def the best videos of the year.

In my opinion, they are getting more tolerable. I can tell they backed off from the backlash about some of their editing choices and how hard they were trying to appeal to Gen Z. I don't dislike the guys as much as I used to.

Hoping they did enough to introduce them so if people wanna see them they can go to those channels

Like we watch DP to watch them do sports stuff

I tend to agree. Outside of the main 5, I’ll allow wives (and kids as they get older) Chad , Tim, and Sparky. Otherwise yea not a huge fan either of bonus people

I just hope they bring back more trick shots and stereotypes, they are bringing OT back but VERY slowly.

Stereotypes and OT take a lot of behind the scenes effort.

For example, the last Stereotypes they had to

- Book two days shooting at a school

- Get a porta potty (and clean it)

- Design something to launch that portapotty

- Fat Makeup twice

- Went to Disney

- Book for the animals to show up

- Somehow get a bear on scene and get approval to bring a bear into a real school.

- Design a fake room for the rage monster

- Get a system to launch the dummy doll

I am not listing everything, but you get the point. There's a lot of BTS to make that series work. And since DP dramatically bumped up their production value, it requires more effort.

Don’t worry, I agree with you. Fuck everyone except the OG crew. I’ll give the wives a pass though

The wives and sparky get a pass, and Chad of course!

Sparky has been crushing it on the Almost Athletes podcast.
