His secret stream got big views (relatively for him) tonight because he unintentionally started it on the heels of Josie signing off.
Josie hasn't done anything since Friday. She tuned into a Josiecel's stream who may have ended his to watch Vance. Same guy who previously asked how Josie gets over anxiety for videos and livestreams. Otherwise unremarkable, he seems normal.

Funny thing from that same stream: Luke, who spent over $700 on gifts alone, all but confirmed he checks this thread and says he doesn't care if he's doxed. He'll be going to Game On Expo to pick up his merch. Making sure Josie knows it's him, not weird at all!

I don't care to dox Josiecels, confirming the demographics of the notable weirdos is what it's about and wouldn't you know it, they're all the same.

Nathan (CG11t) and tankwatching likely check this thread as well. Sorry I've been too busy to do autistic stream summaries.

Nathan jokes that Josie should put out a survey about her viewer demographics. She can tell using Youtube analytics and is likely aware.


Luke,

I took care not to post your full dox, it's not relevant to you being a loser in his 30s obsessed with some 21 year old e-girl you watched for 6 weeks then try to get her attention after the fact by showering her in gifts and donations.

Don't pretend you're not the weirdo. You've given an autistic e-girl nearly $1000, if not more, and are traveling halfway across the country to meet her. As well, you insist on personally picking up your merch to stand out further. Ask yourself, "Why am I doing this?" Be brutally honest.
Tell a good friend or family member what you're doing this week and how much you've spent on Josie to date. Show them a picture of the merch you bought!


This stream is fan service. Josie lore, painful superchats, package opening.
Views seem to hover around 450+, she's doing pretty well overall. This may buck the ongoing downward trend.

All Seeing Knap is largely absent, he donated an inappropriate superchat that I think she ignored so maybe he feels spurned. I can get it later, but he asked about Letty's Knight details.

She's wearing a cosplay on top of a cosplay, both bought by Luke via her Throne wishlist. Possible Letty and Josie stream soon, she's being careful not to talk about it too much. Her hair is getting messy so she may trim it live.

I'll have to cut it short and catch up later.

Josie's not feeling too good.

The stream was one of her best so far. Over 500 viewers peak, maintained 400+ for 3 hours, acted goofy. I'm going to have to start figuring out how much she made on my own but she made over $400 easily, no huge whale donos this time but multiple $40 superchats.

She did cut her hair on stream, "cleaned" her carpet with general purpose spray and hand soap, put on juggalo makeup as per viewer request, shared a few life stories involving weirdos and labeled countries on a world map, among other nonsense.
A superchat mentioned her eating regurgitated ice cream in B2 during Cell 2: II. She said she wasn't going to because it was gross and had a nasty consistency but Sam (who she calls Jason) asked if she was going to miss a point over such a small thing so she reasoned since it's her own saliva it's not that bad and ate it. Can't do a full breakdown still but if you like Josie you should watch it, if not then there's not much else to say. Very early on she gets into some furry lore (thank Winston!) and a story about two friends from elementary school who stopped talking to her all those years ago that are now a lesbian couple and reached out to her out of nowhere saying they should hang out. Chat warned her that they sound like trouble throughout the stream.

I intend to go back through this one, it seems like she's starting to play the "character" of Josie that people want.

I think if Jet tries to bring people in from Craigslist completely blind, someone is going to see Jason Goldstriker walk into the house and immediately quit and warn everyone else that it's a "Nazi show." Really the only reason Mauro didn't leave sooner is because Vance, Sylvia, Letty, Josie, Damiel had zero reaction, and even Jon who wasn't a fan looked MDE up and didn't give a fuck, so Mauro probably didn't want to seem uncool.
Mauro left because he was freaked out by the Simmons pedophile outing not because he thought Sam was racist.

I see a couple of people disagreeing with this did I misremember? Mauro left the same night as Simmons April 26th. I remember during the whole period after Simmons was forced out the house was in sort of a panic and Mauro went up to Jet clearly upset and said he needed to talk to him.

No I get that. But if Vance, Sylvia, Damiel, and Letty sat down with Mauro early on and told him Sam's whole history, and like pretended to be super worried that they would become unhireable because of being on the show and pretended like Sam Hyde showing up was a huge stab in the back, what I'm saying is I'm betting Mauro would have left over that kind of conversation. There were a few times someone would say something insane or shocking and Mauro would go ??? or "really???" but he had nobody to look at for confirmation that something was wrong. Or like I vaguely remember at one point Mauro warned Letty not to talk about some topic, probably abortion, and she went "So what, we're already cancelled for being here" and Mauro was like "huh?"

When he came back to the tank he'd sort of been spoiled on it all so he was singing "here's your faggot, here's your fucking faggot" while fucking Betty's bed up but if they had done to Mauro what they did to Tai before he was spoiled, he would've bolted.

Of course it would be nice if we had the footage of Mauro actually leaving, I guess that's probably all on handheld cameras in the doc, but I think what the fish said afterwards was that he was upset with the producers and thought the show would harm his reputation - harm it via making him associate with a pedophile for a week.

Oh I see what you're saying now yeah I agree with that. Yeah, Mauro was one of about three of the fish who had zero prior knowledge of MDE or Sam and I could totally see him freaking out and leaving if others had.

Even Jon knew who Sam was, he wasn't a fan but he had figured out how to Google him before the show maybe from visiting the website, and was fixated on some video of Sam making fun of homeless people. I think it gave Sam an edge on Jon, because Jon assumed Sam was a sympathetic Tate-type-guy based on that video. But it also meant that even if Jon were the type to worry about being #cancelled, he would've already processed it before appearing in the house.
Maybe this one? Idk. But he kept bringing it up and it was something like this
So Mauro and Simmons, the two earliest eliminations and the biggest lolcows, were the most ignorant contestants. And Jon the nearly-ignorant was third, and outside of complaining that he needed to be outside to regulate his emotions, he also bitched about being offended by the show (retards and schizophrenics). Not a good sign.

Letty is streaming with Josie.

It's cringe in a distinct way from Josie's as Letty encourages dono wars among the superchatters and the main two are her paypig mods. She acts amazed at each of their absurd donations, I'm not sure what to make of it. Is it a bit? Are they actually this deranged? It is more insane than Josie's historic whales who never got into "competition" with each other.
Josie seems to be along for the ride. Letty said she offered to do this on Josie's channel but Josie declined, saying she didn't want to due to her stream schedule.

Letty goes on tangents which is painful. For example, someone asking about her favorite ice cream and she goes on a boomer-tier tangent about what flavors she's been into lately in general, not just ice cream. Later she revisits it saying she wants to try raw ice cream.

This implied that an average Joe knew who Sam Hyde was. The answer is no. Many people still don't know him, including some terminally online people on Twitter, Discord, Reddit, etc.

They could avoid this by not mentioning any reference to Sam Hyde/Fishtank during hiring until they arrived at the house. The downside is that we wouldn't know anything until D-Day.

Yeah, but then you've got the TTSes as well as the content dribbling that in until the contestants decide they don't want to be associated with it. One wayward "Bzzt: Nick Grr" or Act Retarded Challenge, and Kayleigh the visual arts student from Maine is packing it up.

It does seem closer to the original Hellhouse idea if all 8 people are sensitives who would be really upset to go through the stuff that the Season 1 contestants took mostly in stride. But if they really did that I think the challenges would end up shifting more towards dares (anyone who participates gets a fishbuck) rather than competitions. On the upside it would probably stop the simping because the audience wouldn't empathize with them at all, which means more torture porn. But the downside is it wouldn't have the same "feel" because all the contestants are dragging their feet instead of being told to act black and immediately shouting "SHEEEEEEEIT"
 
Unfortunately I was waiting until today to grab Letty's stream... if it pops up anywhere I'll get it. Aren't there channel-wide ramifications for repeated copyright issues in videos?
I noticed views at ~100s but it was late night and I believe unscheduled.
Easily cleared $1000 from her paypig mods.

The donations were as absurd as multiple $200+ donos, primarily from Tyler Durden and Discourse Letty (?) though there were others, all the usual Letty donators. It comes off as inauthentic due to how Letty fanned it and easily broke $1000 in the first 2 hours where Josie was around.
Josie was visibly sick and sleepy throughout, coughing occasionally, otherwise in fair spirits that waned with time as she probably just wanted to sleep.

Pictured - Bored Josie playing the co-op cooking game shortly before going to bed

They had some laughs, though Letty was being an objectively bad streamer. Spending way too long on terrible Gilbert Gottfried impressions, waiting for Josie's input on mundane issues like "Should I use a keyboard or controller?" and "Which video do you want to watch while I brb? Cat videos?" Each time Josie would say the first choice was fine. She never followed through on Josie's answers so I'm not sure why she asked. Letty interrupted herself and Josie a few time to respond to donos. Not that Josie's batch-reading is always ideal or entertaining but the interruptions felt rude mid-convo.

Letty showed that she visits 4chan.org/bant/ (Fishtank general threads) as one of her top sites. This has got to be brutal as they are effectively Josie obsession threads and of the non-Josie obsessed there's only 1 regular Letty poster who exclaims how Letty is a pretty princess. Perhaps this has to do with Letty's low confidence spell she had and may be enduring. She shouldn't worry about it though, the threads are kept alive by insane Josie posters who are truly obsessed.
Josie has subtly encouraged these people as far as I'm concerned, she's definitely seen some of the Twitter and Youtube remarks people have made and feigns ignorance. Too bad for her those crazy guys are loser neets and most can't even afford $5 channel membership. Anons like to say Letty is manipulative but are blind to Josie's tactics.
1691569953506982.png
After Josie got off, Letty said Josie recommended setting up a Throne wishlist at some point. She ended up playing generic party games with the audience and I tuned out after awhile.

I wonder if Letty or Josie are aware of this thread and have checked it out. Letty would probably get a kick out of it. Josie... I'm not sure. This is probably the only place Josie gets negative criticism.

I got you fam.
(sorry for fuckin it up a second ago)

Also I guess we kind of sit on the edge of a general MDE thread and a Fishtank thread but this is maybe Ben related news, since afaik Ben never had any sort of Bentent before FT.
Hong Kong 2, a podcast with two stoned white guys. Because that hasn't been tried before.
ChatGPT summary:
Hong Kong 2 is a captivating podcast that weaves together a vibrant tapestry of discussions, taking you on an exhilarating journey through ancient history, pop culture, and the art of comedy. Hosted by a Chris Lynch and Benjamin Taylor, this fresh and engaging show invites you to embark on an exploration of the most intriguing and thought-provoking topics of our time.
"What happens when there's more podcasts than people?" They ask. Good question.

I always try to like, "stay cool" about FT in here and not just act like I'm on 4chan because that's not the vibe, but if I were to prepare a statement for Josie to read immediately upon opening the thread

Jesus Christ

I'm not saying she's worse than Hitler but she stands among such legendary greats as Kobe Bryant's helicopter, Kurt Cobain's shotgun, and Norm McDonald's tumor.

Thanks for the link!

This got me good.






Josiecels are like "I went to bed when Josie went to bed, what is Vlance?"
Josiecels are like "Can they stop making content and start cleaning up"
Josiecels are like "Why is Frank's last name Hassle idgi"
Josiecels are like "How can they say Josie is as boring as Vance, she walked in circles today"


edit:
just for fun, pulled this up. You couldn't see most of this live because Vance was standing in the cropped part of the video, it's funnier being able to see him.

Chris has been streaming with Damiel on Instagram a lot lately to promote Hong Kong 2, I could record this shit and upload it but it's just not worth it. Stuff to know:
  • Damiel has already rebounded from Autumn. I wish I wasn't paraphrasing because he sounded pretty deliberate in his phrasing but he said something like, that there was a honeymoon period and it was over, and that maybe Fishtank had a role in keeping them together longer than they would've otherwise. He called it a "honeymoon period."
  • Damiel is flying to Providence tomorrow to be on episode 3 of Hong Kong 2
  • Jet will be on the second episode
  • Chris asked Damiel who should be on the podcast next, he said Vance, Chris seems hooked on the idea that people who come on the podcast should be there in person but I think they just miscommunicated it because Chris said "Is he gonna be around in a month" and Damiel was like "What are you talking about, he's going to be alive"
  • Chris said he is thinking of flying Mauro out for "the "pod." He wants to "break him down" and "get inside his mind" because he seems "mad shy"
  • Chris asked Damiel what his five year plan is and he said he doesn't set goals and is "waiting to disintegrate"
  • Damiel wants to learn to cry on command
  • Chris tried to offload something heavy about how he's "Finally taking initiative" now that he's doing Scuffed Realtor and Hong Kong and stuff and then Damiel interrupted him to play a Wakanda remix.
I watched like 3 minutes of Hong Kong 2 and I couldn't deal, there's just no reason to listen to it. I guess I'll listen to the next one if it has Jet in it because Jet's interesting, and Ben also can be, but Chris is.... whoo boy.


Sylvia says she is not going to stream anymore because it's not something she planned to do and is driving herself nuts trying to get better at it and has been comparing herself to other streamers and watching her own streams back, and beating herself up. She said she deleted Twitter from her phone and frankly some corny shit about losing herself and not having time for herself and that comments about her weight are still too much, and that she got really drunk the other day and puked everywhere. She said she plans to return to it next month.
She's not really a lolcow so it's not like she deserves crappy things happening to her, but this also seems predictable... it's not for her, just do the music thing.

Josie did a member's stream outside of her usual time so I assumed she skipped this week due to sickness and her expo.

Nothing happened that most people would care for. One of the more dangerous josiecels who claims to live in Phoenix, Arizona said he can't make it to Game On Expo. Luke, mentioned previously, has said he'll be sure to see her each day but we already knew he was going.
Josie welcomed people hanging out at her booth because it gets boring and one finger on the monkey's paw curled.

Since she's sick she wanted to chill with normal chat and draw so she upped the chat read to $10. This didn't work so it ended up being a "Josie reads superchat" stream.
1691744973106.png


Her mom texted her twice. It's clear she was actively watching.
  1. She told Josie that chat was broken and chat confirmed
  2. After Josie cut fruit like a retard her mom told her there's a cut nectarine in the kitchen. She must have been as worried as chat was.

The spot on her carpet she "cleaned" is a disaster. I wager she planned and probably plans to ruin the carpet further to get it replaced like her broken window.

Confirmed Josie drought until Monday.
 
Sam has been preparing some shirt designs, one of the previous ones had a reference to Pencak-Silat

1691788982611.png


The one from today is more overtly Fishtank (Chike it up was a phrase that came up when Sam & Jet were streaming with Josie and Letty after the show, Chris Chike is the name of a DDR player who Josie said is her hero during her interview, Sam said it sounds like a slur, you're caught up)

1691788936129.png


....You're gonna wish @Aidan posted this cuz all I have to say is that, as someone who hasn't been watching Josie's streams, "Chike it up" has spread like Chernobyl radiation all over everyone else's chats and streams and it was never as funny as it was the first time it was said and even Sam said on a stream that it was fucking beaten to death. Fish who never heard the joke in the first place are being barraged with it. Clop, chike, bloke, and erm are ranking next to "le" "epic" and "m'lady."

I guess the idea is these might come out when the documentary is done but if that were the case it doesn't make sense to do "Chike it up" because that didn't happen during the show......
 
"Chike it up" isn't really said much on Josie's streams nowadays. "Clop it up" is more recent because she made a clopping joke with one of the Throne wishlist items she received and joked that it was "clop time" before hanging it on her door. It's already overplayed, however.

Clop, bloke, and erm will last until Josie explicitly says to cut it out and I agree it's lame. It's significantly more lame to do that in other chats, I'm not sure why they're doing that aside from Vance streams and maybe lurking in case Josie shows up. I'm sure she would agree with you, she did like Jet's tweet saying "Chike it down" ages ago and moved on from it except in her Streamlabs dono notification which she probably doesn't pay attention to.
I don't get "le" and "m'lady."

Carrying on the joke for merch sounds like a Jet idea, he's the one who kept egging it on even after Sam said it had run its course.
 
I had a dream today.

Set: large monumental hallway, like that of brutalist architecture, like a railway station or similar large brutalist building. There are neo-dystopian features like there are technology devices attached to the walls, the setting is formal, like there is a hierarchy of people, where I'm at an unknown position in it. Like part of a cult, or a communist style surveillance state, where there are some people who are there to represent the "system" and talk in the name of the system, and watch over everything you do.

Scene 1
I'm standing with other people, watching an annoucement someone is making standing on a stage speaking on a microphone.
He's congratulating Letty (Nina Volyanska) and me for our baby, that Letty is going to have soon. The crowd cheers and congratulates us. Letty is standing among the crowd and I can see her, but she is some distance away. She appears to be happy as she looks at me.
Meanwhile, my body and brain goes into a state of shock and panic. "What? What the fuck are you talking about? This is a prank,right?" I am genuinely horrified. To my recollection, I never had sex with Letty. How could this be? It has to be one of her sick jokes. We all saw and know how sick and evil she can be under the pretense of acting. I didn't know if this was real or she was acting out one of her cruel jokes against me.
"It's your baby, remember? Letty told us about you two a couple months ago. Everyone knows, you have to know?"
I struggle to recollect that ever happening. In shock, i try to reason and come up with an explanation of how I could have impregnated Letty.
"Uh, me?? Uh I don't know, maybe we had sex once and uh, I maybe didn't use a condom? and maybe it was just pure luck?"

See, my mind was in a horrific dillemma. On one hand, my subconscious, animal-mind found it awesome and a great thing, it found Letty hot and would absolutely love to have sex and kids with her. It was imagining having a family with Letty and our children. Her beautiful slavic genetics, pale skin and thin figure were everything I was looking for. She tries to act modest, seems to be against niggerification (compared to Josie, which seems to show some aspects of taking on nigger culture like rap, bling and their way of speaking, and doing drugs).
But my conscious mind did not find Letty attractive at all. She had some less attractive facial features, she showed she might be mentally unstable or at least showing signs of GOTIS, her going and starring on a Big Brother-esque reality show, abandoning her slavic (Polish IIRC) homeland to go live amongst niggers in Niggerville, crooked banker, ZOG mafia infested America, her being a visible Bernie supporter (in the past at least, shows weak critical thinking skills), her acting and being evil on camera and plotting against other people, her seemingly having no gag reflex or reservations with dealing with piss and shit (on camera nonetheless). All of these are bad moral traits and one that made my mind condemn her as being a good moral person.
It is why at the time that Fishtank was live, I thought Josie was the best. But even then I was not obsessed with either, I just watched it casually as entertainment. Realistically none of the people who go star on a reality show are probably smart or moral people, if this is what they decide is good to do.

So with this dilemma of simultaneously finding Letty subconsciously attractive but consciously not attractive, my mind had, in this moment of panic and shock, decided to go the conscious way and decide to deny the possibility of us having this baby. I can't remember exactly but I think I acted confused and denied the whole thing and maybe said it was a prank.

Letty was devastated. Her facial expression turning more shocked and sad by the moment, she stormed out of the room.
I asked, shouted to her, where she's going?
She said "I hate you, I'm not having your baby, I'm going to have an abortion!"
She ran out of the room.
This cut right to my heart. My dreams of having a family, my dreams of having Letty, were slashed, destroyed, exploded in an instant, it made my vision turn black and my body went into a fight-or-flight adrenaline response.
No! Wait Letty, please don't! You can't do that! It's our child! I want to have our child, I want to have our family!
"No you don't, you're a liar and a bad person, you knew about us but you lied you didn't today, I can't ever forgive you"
She disappeared, I was left alone.
I asked everyone, "where did she go? Where is she, tell me, please!". I was in utter despair. I felt the life force leaving my body every moment I knew she was going to have an abortion at any moment.
Someone said to me, "she went to have an abortion, she's in there" and pointed the finger at another room on that hallway. Two people, a man and a woman, came out, they appeared to be leaders of this abortion operation.
I asked them, "where is she? Where is Letty?"
They said, "she's in there, getting an abortion. She seems to have died."
"She what?" I say, not believing what I was hearing.
"She seems to have died."
I push them away and storm into the room.
I am in a hospital-like room with medical machines, a hospital bed and a curtain, There is steam in the air and the air is hot and humid. I see Letty. She's inside a thing that looks like a plastic egg with hot water at ankle-level that's giving off steam. The front of it is open and Letty is inside, crouching in the hot steamy water, sobbing and crying uncontrollably.
I run to her, crouch down and hug her, putting my hand onto her belly. "I love you Letty, oh I love you so much, please don't do this" I say.
She appears to calm down and stop crying. I feel like she understands me. I feel like I have rescued her. I feel a sense of overwhelming happiness and warmth.

End of act 1.

You are probably saying, "this guy is a fucking lunatic stalker obsessed with Letty" but no, you'd be wrong. I have not thought of either Letty or Josie or even remembered Fishtank ever happened after it ended. I was not even aware of what they're doing, haven't even watched any of the streams they are doing.
But my mind decided it wanted me to have this dream, out of reasons I don't even know.
So here it is for your and my amusement and posterity, and maybe creeping some people out. I'm fine with that.
Thanks to this dream that has now implanted this idea firmly into my monkey-brain, I will probably try to erase it from my memory as this idea, even though it appeals to my monkey-brain, will probably never happen, so it must be erased. Or maybe, there's a 1 in a billion chance that Letty sees this and sends me a message and we end up married and having kids. But no, realistically, that's delusional and I'm ashamed that my conscious brain is even thinking about that scenario.
