Jonathan Abraham "Jon" Curtis / Top J / JontentG / 40Boys / New Christian Order (NCO) / American Dude Lodge (ADL) - "Wewtawded" Christian Grifter Fishtank Contestant. Andrew Tate and Nick Fuentes Fanboy. Chronic Bridge Burner and Flip Flopper. Incompetent Showrunner than Jet Neptune. Gave a Minor Alcohol. Might Had CNC Anal Sex with Summer. Coke Head and Graves Spitter

In Spring 2024, Mac was reached out to by his longtime friend and also Jon's Discord mod, Hadesmoon, to help Jon achieve his goal of becoming famous. They would help Jon with several things, such as running his Twitter account to increase engagement.

Coming up with plans for Bloodgames.


Tidbits of Jon's plans for Bloodgames

And even drafting a plan on how to debate the now-known revenge pornographer, Destiny.


Jon's plans to debate Destiny

Mac would then reveal that he was invited to Jon's organization, New Christian Order (NCO). Despite being promoted as a fraternal organization of Christian businessmen, it is nothing more than Jon's cult of personality in reality. The more you suck him up, the higher position you will get in the organization.


Hierarchy of New Christian Order

Colton talked about his time as the Marshall for NCO.​

The idea for ADL came around the time when the Fishtank website allowed select creators, former contestants or not, to stream on the platform. After hearing the news, Hades reached out to Mac, saying he thought it would be a good idea to run a show for Jon there. They then came up with Brotank, named after the supposed sequel to Bitchtank, an all-female Fishtank spinoff, where it would feature all-male characters instead of the latter. The event was a success, generating up to $3500 for a small, young, and inexperienced team. This would further inspire and give them the confidence to run a whole season.



After running Brotank, Jon would reach out to Mac and Hades that the Fishtank production team had given him a greenlight to run a full season of Brotank under a different name. Mac considered this a lifetime opportunity for him and something he would be proud of and put on his resume.

So, here's the initial plan for ADL:
Looks like a solid plan for a niche, obscure internet reality show, right? Now, how did everything go wrong, and who were responsible for it?

First, let's introduce these side characters:

​

Bleau / basedwealth / Pedro - A 23-year-old amateur filmmaker and a proud groyper, follower of Nick Fuentes. If you ask him what the biggest achievement in his life is, he would say taking a photo with the Mexican catboy aficionado. Despite being Jon's closest friend, he had a reputation for being hot-headed and combative; within NCO’s chatrooms, he frequently instigated drama and arguments. Making him a huge liability.

​

Van / loveamerica - A 28-year-old apparel merchant and owner of the underground fashion brand, loveamerica. His brand is popular in the MDE / Fishtank sphere, where productions and former casts are occasionally seen wearing his apparel. He was primarily brought in for his resources, along with Ben Palaskas, to finance the show.

These are brief introductions to two characters who will play significant roles in the story. We'll explore their characters and true nature deeply as the story progresses.

During the early phase of pre-production, Mac told a story about how he almost got kicked out of the project in the documentary. The story would go like this:

• Mac and Hadesmoon were told that they would be replaced by other people and have their work overtaken by them under their name.
• Mac fought back against the attempt to remove him, and this would turn into a 4-hour struggle session against Bleau and Van.
• Bleau and Van would accuse Mac of being a thief and betrayer of Jon during the struggle session.
• The conflict was resolved with Mac agreed to work without being paid, as he was excited about the project. Hades, however, left the project over not being paid. Ended up with Mac writing the script alone.

What a great way to start a big project!

In early 2025, a feud against the Fishtank production team would cause a setback against ADL. The setbacks such as:

• Losing the right to use the Fishtank website and infrastructure to livestream the show.
• Losing an opportunity to use the season 2 house for shooting the show after being offered one.
• Losing notable guests such as former Fishtank casts like Letty, Vance, Burt, and Binx.

So, how did Jon cope with burning his bridges with production again? According to Mac and Colton, Jon would say the following:

• Fishtank Production is afraid that ADL would overshadow Season 3, which ended as a huge failure based on Jon's words.
• ADL will generate more viewers and income based on the numbers they get during Brotank.
• ADL will outshine Fishtank in general.
• Talked shit about Jet Neptune over his drug use, hooking up with former casts, and general incompetence running Fishtank.

Remember Jon's long-winded rant against Jet Neptune? Turns out it was ghostwritten by Van with ChatGPT's help after he took over Jon's Twitter from Mac and Hades, at least according to Mac.



Around the same time, the Grand Marshall of NCO, also the director of ADL, who went by Ian, and the Treasurer of NCO, also the showrunner for ADL, who went unnamed in the documentary, were suddenly accused of stealing from Jon.



Hades, who had been talking to Jon behind the scenes, urged him to publicly denounce these guys. Both would eventually quit and leaving a vacuum in both NCO and ADL power structure. Hearing the news, Hades would rejoin the project in hopes of becoming the Grand Marshall and the director.

Now, let's go back to the ADL production room after suffering low morale from the fallout of clashing with Fishtank people. So, who will replace both of those people mentioned previously? Well, Jon quickly replaced them with figures such as:

• Bleau as the director and Grand Marshall of NCO despite his combative nature and tendency to cause drama and infighting. However, no one really objected to Bleau being the director of ADL due to his filmmaker background.
• Van as the Treasurer of NCO and showrunner, along with another guy named Benjamin Palaskas.

Everyone went back to working on their given roles. Jon was personally tasked with finding the contestants, securing the house, and getting sponsorship deals. One week before the supposed deadline, Jon revealed he had not done the first two.

Thanks to Jon's laziness, everyone on production was panicking and scrambling to find the contestants who were willing to be on the show, including those who were already keen about the details. Luckily, Van managed to secure three girls for the show at the last second and claimed to have done background checks on them.


List of ADL Contestants

With hasty preparations, severe setbacks, infighting, and procrastination, ADL kept moving forward and went live in the month of February.

The first major drama on the ADL is the wallet incident. Bleau announced to everyone that his wallet was missing, along with another wallet that belonged to one of their cameramen, Ryan. At first, people in the house thought the situation to be nothing more than a bit. But this turned out to be legit, and Bleau went on his way to search for his wallet. Interested in how he conducted the search? Here are the clips:

Bleau, a male production team, is asking Syd, a female contestant, to have her bra checked.​

Bleau is defending his comment on Syd.​

Bleau is forcefully searching Colton's clothes.​

Bleau tard-wrangled by Jon.​

In the end, Bleau would find his wallet in his jacket, and Ryan would find his own in his pants on the next day. However, it's worth noting that Bleau demanded the production team search every contestant's belongings, prioritizing female contestants first, to find his wallet before his own.

The next major drama on the ADL is the COVID exposure (COVID HOUSE! AIDS HOUSE!). In this part, the central character of this drama will be Sammy, the winner of Brotank.


This is what Sammy looks like.

Sammy is a longtime friend of Jon. He went to the same high school as him and also has autism like him. For some reason, Jon kept it a secret from everyone else.

On day 2, Sammy was brought into the lodge as a surprise. Before showing up, the production was already struggling with rescheduling and revising challenges on the show, as the planned "Raw steak-eating challenge" on that day had to be scrapped after all the steaks prepared were mistakenly cooked and eaten by contestants for dinner.

Sammy entered the house.​

Sammy's appearance on the show would turn out to be a liability, as it would be revealed that he had COVID at that time.

Why do they let him on the show then? In the documentary, Mac revealed that Sammy had confided his COVID status to him 4 days earlier, after Mac was suspicious about why he was wearing a facemask when they met.

However, given Sammy's surprise appearance and being Jon's longtime friend, it would be quite a struggle for Mac to inform Sammy COVID status without panicking everyone. So, Mac would do the following:

• Inform Bleau first
  • Bleau responded by telling him to quarantine Sammy ASAP.
• Announce a hand-washing challenge so nobody would really be affected by Sammy.
• Pull Sammy to the production room and urged him to go home.
  • Sammy would say he needs to talk to Jon.
• Try to call Jon and inform him about the situation.
  • Jon denied the situation and claimed Sammy was fine.
  • Jon brought Sammy back and told him not to trust Mac, along with Colton.
  • Jon picked Sammy to judge the handwashing challenge. Further exposing the contestants to COVID.
• Told Colton to distract the audience.
• Finally, brought everyone upstairs and told everyone about the situation.

Jon would answer the call from Mac after ignoring him for hours and respond with the following:

• Jon told Mac that he was pissed at him.
  • Mac told him it was dumb to keep Sammy, as he would endanger the contestants.
• Jon said he has a doctor's note stating that Sammy was not sick (this would later turn out to be forgery for a bit).
  • Mac told him to look clearly at Sammy, that he was legitimately sick.
• Jon threatened to send Mac home if he kept asking Sammy to be sent home.
  • Mac gave up and "admitted he was wrong" to the contestants.

After arguing with Mac, Jon would sequester everyone in the pool room, enclosed with Sammy. This turned out to make the contestants far more uncomfortable with the situation.

In the end, despite all the "effort" on damage control, Jon would eventually reveal to everyone that Sammy had COVID, and he would be sent back home.

Sammy's COVID revelation and sent off from the lodge​

At least four contestants would catch COVID thanks to Jon's negligence and downplaying the situation.


Contestants who would catch COVID are circled in red (Ethan, Mara, Syd, Augustine).

Around the time of the Fishtank.live deal, at least two people know the truth about the situation. One is Jon, and the other is the former Grand Marshall of NCO, Ian. Mac would interview the latter.


Two initial core members of NCO, Jon and Ian.

A Conversation with Ian.​

TL/DR: A retard hired a professional to help him achieve his dreams and was surprised when the professional called him out that he wouldn't achieve his dreams as long as the retard wants to stay retarded and keep believing that being retarded is the only way to succeed.

In the master bedroom, while everyone was busy downstairs, a situation was unfolding. Jon was having a private conversation with Austin and Midori in the room, and he would ask Austin, who was currently streaming with his camera, to turn it off. Idiotically, Austin would "turn off" the camera by turning it into the wall, which led the conversation to be broadcast to the world.

Such a conversation would involve sexual aggression, drug use, and underage drinking. Here are the main takeaways:

Takeaway #1: Jon is aware of Bleau's aggression against women on the show​

Bleau's response to the "Hot Mic" on Twitter Space​

Takeaway #2: Jon is asking for "snow" (read: Cocaine)​

Everyone's thoughts on Jon's drug use:

Takeaway #3: Mary Jane, a contestant who had been drinking live on-stream, was found out to be 19​

Some notable clips from other contestants about Mary situation:

Mary would then be voted out the following morning. Jon also agreed with the vote and was prepared to send Mary off. However, Mac would object to Mary being kicked out of sympathy for her unstable home condition. He further argued it would be better to ban alcohol and drugs instead for PR and damage control after the hot mic incident, and also said Jon could fix her via Christianity .

In the end, Mary was allowed to stay at the lodge, and her true age was announced to everyone.

Jon scolded Mary, "threatened" her with lolsuits, and forced her to apologize.​

Thus concludes part 1 of this documentary.

After discussing the gem systems, the infighting in ADL was covered. Initially, the infighting was mostly between contestants, and it was relatively harmless. As the show gradually progresses, the production would get involved in infighting as well, and of course, the central character of all production infighting would be none other than Bleau.

During the non-alcoholic beer chugging, Bleau would begin attention-whoring himself and start picking a fight against Hades. Also, around this time, Mac was too tired of himself and asked Hades to run the challenge for himself, despite Hades being camera-shy and had difficulty demanding the attention of the room.

Bleau picked a fight against Hades and Jon's tard-wrangling them.​

On night 13, Bleau would try to make himself the center of attention by disrupting a challenge that Mac currently ran. Bleau's appearance would unsurprisingly cause a scene, and made Mac leave the room.

Bleau attention-whoring in the middle of a challenge.​

In the documentary, Mac would also observe Bleau's character and his relationship with Jon, and said that:

• Bleau views Jon as a means to build each other's celebrity status, not necessarily as the guy who always covered up his expenses.
• Bleau is a very materialistic person and would wear expensive clothing on the show.
• Bleau was self-conscious and upset that he didn't have full control of the show. Initially, he was always meant to be a side character.
  Spoiler: Plan for Bleau

  
• Bleau introduced Jon to Nick Fuentes and thought it would be a good idea to chase clout out of him and try to become part of his catboy harem inner circle. He also came up with the plan of having Jon publicly shitting on Curtis Yarvin and calling him Jewish despite Jon not fully knowing who Curtis Yarvin is.
  Spoiler: Jon called Curtis Yarvin Jewish
• When Mac was trying to do damage control after the Jon fiasco against Curtis Yarvin, knowing the consequences of dealing with the hook-nosed tribe would be disastrous to their own, Bleau would throw a hissy fit and accuse everyone of working with DA JOOZ.
  Spoiler: Mac damage control with Jon

  

After covering Bleau's shenanigans, we'll enter the next part of the documentary where Jon abuses Augustine into his own "Joshua Block / worldoftshirts" by repeatedly forcing him to eat shit food and drink Alcohol multiple times.

Augustine Audition Tape​

Augustine was one of the contestants for ADL and also a friend of a production member. He is also considered to be a talented one, according to Mac. Initially, Augie was camera-shy, but he would eventually come out of the show, partly thanks to Mac helping to coach him, which is something that he would be proud of in the documentary.

Sadly, Augustine's antics on the show would be thoroughly exploited. On day 10, Jon forced him to eat a literal trash food that he called "shrek meal" and laugh at him in the process.

Augustine being forced to eat trash food called "Shrek meal"​

Right after forcing him to eat shit food, Jon wouldn't stop but doubled down by forcing him to drink hard liquor, such as vodka that he disguised as coffee, to Augustine, essentially turning him into Joshua Block.

The Worldoftshirts-ification of Augustine​

In the end, Augustine would be severely wasted from drinking all the alcohol Jon forced him to. He would be carried out for care by Mac.

Augustine passing out​

The next morning, Augustine can be heard weeping and puking violently in the house by everyone.

Augustine Aftermath​

After the following Augustine incident, ADL was ready to enter phase 2 of the show. Though before heading straight to phase 2, let's have an introspective look at ADL first. At week two:

• The ADL was currently low on funding.
• Production members (e.g., Jon, Van, and Bleau) stopped making groceries and would rather spend money on booze.
• The damage to the house started to become more visible as trash kept piling up, and the place is essentially a pigsty at times, with filthy bathrooms and raw chicken blood left overnight on the kitchen counters.
  Spoiler: Bathroom Condition

  
• The show was not making any money, forcing production to cheat to sponsor and begin rigging the challenges and the competition in general, and implemented a "female tax," where all gems owned by female contestants will be cut in half.

All in just two weeks. In addition, a guest and Fishtank orbiter SkippySwags arrived at the house. Unbeknownst to everyone, including Mac, Skippy came there with the intention mainly to fuck with production. Not only that, he would also make his own documentary on ADL, which you can watch here.

ADL officially entered phase two after 2 weeks of airing the show.


Phase 2 of ADL.

Phase 2 was officially kicked off by having everyone gather in a party van, where they would be brought to the town and spend their time making IRL content, such as going to a Blockbuster or just bar hopping.

ADL Party Van​

Right after going out in a party van, all contestants proceed to the next challenge, The Cell. Initially, the challenge was planned to be in the party van; however, Jon forgot to rent it for longer. They would end up going back to the house for the challenge.

The planned challenges for day 18 would be the Dig the Hole Challenge, where contestants dig holes in the backyard and attempt to make puns about the hole for fun, and the Banana Dodgeball Challenge, where Mac would dress in a gorilla costume and have the contestants play a game of dodgeball. Both of these challenges were supposed to be challenges for the last day of ADL, but Mac decided to do them on Day 18 because he was about to leave.


Day 18 challenges, originally meant for the penultimate challenges

During preparation, Jon hastily urged and rushed everyone to get ready and go outside for the challenge after having to wait for 6 hours, as Jon needed to get his car from the other house. Jon then made 3-4 trips to the mountain, transporting the contestants separately so they could go to the mountain.

Because they were rushed, all of them dressed inappropriately for an outing in the cold mountain. Jon dropped everyone at a mountain where teenager hangout. Mac never planned for them to dig holes in a mountain, but Jon insisted that he had found a place where they had to dig through mud and needles. Thankfully, there were no needles on the mountain.

Dig the Hole Challenge begins with Augie sniffing nicotine powder

Dig the Hole Challenge.​

Everyone started digging the frozen and hardened ground. They were also told they could sabotage each other, which, in hindsight, was a bad idea when everyone had blunt tools and was in a frustrated mood.



The rules were always changing constantly. One second they were able to attack each other, the next second they weren't allowed to attack each other, another second they could only sabotage by throwing rocks into their opponent's holes, and after that they were supposed to swap tools with the other team because they only brought two appropriate tools for digging. Jon, Van, and Bleau were known to change the rules constantly, but Mac knew they wouldn't listen and get mad at him if he ever objected.

Some notable moments from the Dig the Hole challenge:

Mary cut her hands during the challenge, along with Carl.​

A fight between Arachelle and Kevin, and Mary accidentally caused bad injury to Augie.​

In the middle of the challenge, Jon announced that they would be sleeping in the mountains and that the losing team would be making the fire for the winning team. This was retarded as most of the contestants were ill-fitted for the occasion. Some would protest, and some would go along. Mac, on the other hand, reassured everyone that they won't be sleeping in the mountains.

Jon announced camping in the mountains.​

Near the end of the challenge, everyone was in low morale and covered in mud. They had no money left for the show and only had 12 genuine viewers. Jon left without telling anyone, leaving everyone baffled. Mara said on the camera that the contract they had signed was nullified by Jon's negligence. Shadi threw a tire at Maryjane. In essence, all of them were doing this for nothing if Jon's plan to go camping were to go through. Mac sounded pissed, told everyone to talk to him after the challenge.

Everyone would shit-talk Jon after the challenge. Bleau, being a pussy with BIG FAT TITS that he is, talked shit about Jon behind his back, saying that whatever he's planning is retarded. Mara said contract null, contract null, contract null cause Jon's a retard.

Mac invited Bleau to talk one on one. Van said that Mac was tripping to Shadi, but she disagreed with him and could see that Mac was being reasonable.

Mac tried to convince Van and Bleau to grow a spine and stand up to Jon with him when he came back. Bleau agreed while Van was still on the fence. Mac then told everyone to say no to camping when Jon came back.



Jon came back and told everyone to go camping. He then called Shadi a dumb bitch and said that everyone in Oregon likes to go camping, so she needs to shut up.


The struggle session would go on until the sun went down, leaving the contestants they had left and Bleau at the mountain. Mac and Mara got a ride from Sammy. Mac told everything that happened to Sammy, and he said what Jon did was fucked up.

Back in the mountains, everyone left there started a fire with feelings of hunger, frustration, and cold. At one point, Bleau admitted that Shadi was right, but also argued she couldn't stop being a bitch about it. Arachelle said that she wasn't being dramatic about the mountain accident and did have a concerning ailment that could threaten her life. She didn't bring her medicine for the trip and was malnourished.



Going back to the house, Mac discussed all of that had happened to everyone and told Skippy that he's ready to give him anything to help him expose ADL. Bleau and Arachelle also walked to the house because they didn't want to stay on the mountain as it was getting dark. Bleau tried to talk with everyone, but Mac used this opportunity to mock him and his incompetence because he had already been fired by Jon.

Mac was informed by Arachelle that Hades had been mocking him on stream. So he called him up and asked why. Hades had said he was just doing his job, moderating, and asked me to apologize to Jon. Mac responded back by saying he would never apologize as he did nothing wrong and couldn't care less about Hades talking shit about him despite being friends for 5 years.


Hades shit-talking Mac

Back in the stream in the mountain, Jon told the contestants to talk shit to everyone who left the mountain and threatened them that they would get kicked out and wouldn't be given their ticket to go home if they disobey him. Unbeknownst to everyone that already left the mountain, Jon finally gave the contestant who stayed with him on the mountain some food.



Meanwhile, in the lodge, Mac and Mara cooked some hot food for everyone up at the mountain because both of them thought that they were still up there, cold and hungry.

In a clip, Mac promised to expose what happened on ADL as he said goodbye to everyone.

Mac's Goodbye.​

Shortly afterwards, Jon came back to the house and threatened anyone who criticized him moving forward. He would continue to argue with Shadi in the lodge while Van defended Jon's honor, even though he brought Shadi under false pretenses, just like the other girl that he had invited.



Thus concludes the story of the mountain incident and part 2 of this documentary. In the aftermath of the show, Jon would give his own perspective on the incident of which you can listen to and judge here.

The following day, Skippy and Mara decided to leave the lodge. While live, Skippy talked about how all of the contestants were fucked, he also said that Jon brought Maryjane out for hours to watch Dogman in the theater while she was still a contestant.



In an interview, Mara said that Jon told everyone to start sleeping in the master bedroom while the balcony door was open, she's freezing, and to start praying for her life. After that, she was told by Van to start cleaning the house, but she refused.



Tired of Jon's shit, Mara let herself be eliminated before she demanded money for her work. Jon purposefully told the cameraman to keep the camera away from Mara to prevent another drama with her, but Jon's cameraman pointed the camera at her anyway, despite Jon's instruction.

Jon Confessional with Mary.​

Bleau and Van Confessional with Carl.​

Bleau and Van Confessional with Arachelle.​

Van would do a monologue on camera to talk about the ADL production crew, Bleau, the contestant, Fishtank, and the Fishtank audience.

Van monologue.​

Van made a half-hearted apology to Mara and said she was just overreacting on a reality show.



Live Mara reaction



Shortly after Van did his monologue, Bleau also wanted to do his own monologue since he was so desperate for attention.

Bleau monologue.​

Bleau would also talk about the struggle with his BPD in the monologue.

In the documentary, Mac revealed that he kept in contact with Mara and Carl throughout the show run. He also attempted to bait Van, who was currently drunk, to divulge sensitive information in the chat. He would succeed and get Van to admit two things:

• Van admitted that he knew Mary Jane was 19 from the beginning.
  
  Mac (Skullez) baited Van (JonTent117) to admit Mary's age in chat.
• Van admitted that the Airbnb, the house that they were currently using, was under his name. (This will be important later.)
  
  Mac (Skullez) baited Van (USCITIZEN) to admit that the Airbnb was under his name on chat.
  
  Spoiler: Van Airbnb Clip

As a result, Mac would get banned from the chat along with Mara, but the damage had been done.



Van, however, would continue to argue with trolls on stream and ramble about Jon, Fishtank, etc, while he was drunk.



And also in the IG livestream with Skippy.

In the final days of ADL, the drama and incidents were about to reach their climax. The first one involved cryptocurrency. Cryptocurrencies have been the backbone of the show, as nearly all the show's funding was done via cryptocurrencies, and both of their sponsors, retardio.casino and retard.global, are all crypto-based online platforms. Van obtained both sponsors thanks to his connection with the Solana community.

It was also revealed that Mara was an employee of one of the sponsors for the show, retard.global, and she had promoted them on camera multiple times.


Mara promoting her employer and retard.global.

As Jon said in the previous confessionals, Mara was one of the only contestants to have been contracted to do work for the show, such as designing logos and other visuals. Before she left, she demanded payment from Jon. Unsurprisingly, Jon evaded accountability by claiming he couldn't pay the full amount. Jon then proceeded to beg Van for money, who also tried to escape paying Mara.


Mara DM to Jon about her contract. Jon's wallet address is highlighted.

Eventually, Mara would get paid and have her issue resolved after a struggle session. However, a new issue appeared when Mara checked her crypto wallet; she found out 7 Solana of hers had been sent to an unknown burner wallet. Mara alleged the wallet was associated with Jon and his 40 boys.


(https://archive.is/0mfIz)

Mara would further elaborate on her case in her interview with Skippy, where she talked about how her Solana ended up in Jon's crypto wallet. Mara also suspected that Bleau was the one who was masterminding the theft of her Solana. But Bleau defended himself on a Twitter space, saying that Jon was initially planning to smear Mara with a bunch of bullshit. Bleau also told them that he was the one defending Mara, preventing Jon from smearing her and blaming the stolen Solana on Van.

Mara Interview with Skippy.​

Bleau addressing the situation.​

Van also addressed the situation brought by Mara live on stream, where he simply said that just because a random wallet sent them all Solana doesn't necessarily prove they were the ones who stole it.

Van addressing the stolen Solana.​

The next incident was the massive physical fight that happened in the house. In the final days of ADL, Kick finally granted Jon's demand he made during pre-production to feature his show on the front page of the site, despite the stream being mostly nontent and everyone was on low morale at the time.

Seeing an extremely rare opportunity, production crews scrambled together to plan a fake fight in hopes of getting more viewers to the streams. They then secretly told Carl and Kevin they would stage a fake fight and kept everyone in the dark about it.

The Fight.​

While everyone was partying, Bleau entered the room, giving a Nazi salute. Behind his back, Shadi sprayed whipped cream on his head, causing Bleau to push her over. Then, the fight broke out after some tomato sauce spilled onto the carpet, which was a disaster for the show as it gave A-Logs justifiable cause to contact the Airbnb owner. They then do their best to clean the carpet.

However, instead of just cleaning the carpet, they chose to play the "who should be blamed" game instead, escalating the situation even further. Bleau then had an intense fight against Van, and Shadi did her best to break the fight between the two of them, as the male contestants were still under the impression that the fight was staged.



Mary would also join the fight and hit Bleau with a vacuum hose before Kevin pulled her out. Arachelle, who was revealed to be Bleau's girlfriend at the time, attempted to break up the fight as well, but Bleau shoved her to the vacuum tank, spilling the carpet once again.

Bleau shoved his girlfriend, Arachelle.​

Everyone was shocked at Bleau and considered that he had lost his mind and crossed the line. Jon then gave Bleau a day-long suspension. The next morning, Bleau left the house with Arachelle, and Jon went into immediate damage control by tweeting he doesn't condone violence against women and accusing Bleau and his family as pedophiles.

Though keep in mind that weeks before the incident, Jon went on a misogynistic rant about how women on his show deserve a beating.

Jon's Misogynistic Rant​

After Bleau saw tweets of Jon slandering him, he released a video of him spitting on graves, presented without context.


(https://archive.ph/FkJGx)

Not enough being a creepy sex pest on the show, Bleau faced another allegation outside the show, where it was found out that he was threatening to release an intimate video of Mary Jane that he secretly obtained from her phone on her DM. Bleau defended himself by claiming the video is not sexual.

First, let's talk about the damages.​

Trashing and damaging the house has always been part and parcel of experiencing a reality show based on another reality show known for doing the same things as well. Unlike that certain reality show, where they owned the properties, the house for ADL was rented on Airbnb, an online marketplace for renting short-term homestays. Thus, the ADL production crews have higher expectations and responsibilities for maintaining the house.

Wanna know how they treated, cleaned, and maintained the house after previous incidents? Here's a compilation:
After witnessing the damage and piles of trash in the house, ever wondered how much all of those cost them, and how they took responsibility for it?

Jon and Van might be the worst people when it comes to responsibility and accountability, but they are smart enough to evade it. When Jon and Van were about to rent the house, they scoured the whole NCO to find someone who was willing to put their name on it. Luckily, they found a gullible kid who was desperate to be on the show. Van then convinced the kid to give up his personal information so he could process the payment without affecting his credit score.

Remember back when Van got baited by Mac to admit the house was under his name while he was drunk? Mac would send Van admission to the kid to ensure he would not be pinned by Jon and Van just in case shit was about to hit the fan.


Mac DM with the kid.

If committing identity theft was not enough, Van also came up with another idea to dodge accountability by cancelling his card completely, eliminating any charges he may accrue from this experience. Keep in mind that Van used a CashApp card, which acts as a debit card that can't be overdrawn (can't be charged if it has no money).

In a livestream, Van said that the homeowner attempted to charge him for $18,000.



In the end, Van managed to get away with it as he found a patsy, and now that patsy has to face $18,000 bill for something they were not responsible for.

Next, let's talk about The Money.​

Before discussing ADL finance, it is essential to note that only Jon, Van, and Ben Palaskas possess the true knowledge about it. Therefore, this section will be purely speculative based on publicly available information.

Two questions will be asked and answered:

1. How much money was given to the show?
2. How much money was spent on the show?

Let's start with Question number 1.

American Dude Lodge has two main sponsors, retard.global and retardio.casino.


Sponsors for ADL

retard.global is a Solana investment community that has done business deals with Van to sell his popular "Retard" hat, and retardio.casino is an online crypto-based gambling platform that allows you to bet on contestants or certain outcomes on the show. These are the only two sources of outside investment on the show. The amount of money they received from both sponsors isn't known to everyone except Jon's inner circle (Van and Ben Palaskas).

Even though the show's budget has been kept secret, there is still a way to figure out the approximate amount. In the documentary, Mac said he talked to Mara, who is an employee for one of the sponsors, retard.global, about how much money her company invested in ADL. She said they gave Van around $5,000 in Solana. On the other hand, retardio.casino, that are far more secretive than its former sponsor, invested in ADL for $35,000, according to the alleged leaked contract.

Based on the contract, the 40 Boys Production received $15,000 as an upfront payment and would receive the rest if the show was successful. Considering the show is far from the word "successful", they ended up only receiving $12,000 as Mara claimed that she contacted retardio.casino and informed them about production plans to rig the challenges. Ben Palaskas, one of Jon's inner circle, who knows the truth about the show's financial situation, claimed the leaked contract is fake. Though it should be known that Ben Palaskas had shit-talked Jon in the past, and his claims could be either legit or false.

In the end, we'll stick with the leaked contract and estimate the total money they received from both sponsors to be $40,000.

Let's proceed to Question 2.

That's a lot of money, is it? Now, let's break down how they spent that money on the show.

We'll start with things that we know for certain. In the documentary, it is stated that Van spent $7,000 on the house, and he will pay for the damages they cause to the house. Then, the ADL tech guy, Cloudrunner, was given $3,500. Mara, who had her contract fulfilled after Jon and Van were eager to pay her back, was given $500. Let's calculate how much money they have spent so far.


Then, we'll get a little bit theoretical when it comes to calculating the cost of flying out contestants. Assuming they were booked at the last minute with some exceptions, the total cost is calculated in the table below.


Greyed names mean they paid with their own money.

From the table, we figured out the total cost of flying out the contestants (including Carl, whose flight is booked as a round trip, and Augustene, who chose to stay in Oregon) to be $7,600. Then, the cost of flying them all back home is figured out to be $6,500. Put those numbers on our table and we'll get a new result.


After calculating the flight cost, let's go for the most obvious: The Food. Now, before we go straight to estimating how much production spends on groceries, try to guess their initial investment. Already done? Colton will give you the answer here.

Colton on Food Budget.​

That's right. The ADL production initially only spent $2,000 on food for 20 people in a month.

Even with such an extremely low budget, they still somehow misappropriated it by continuing to use the money to buy booze and going outside partying while the contestants were starving inside the house. Luckily, they would accept criticism (or just to save their face) by increasing the budget near the end of the show. Therefore, we're just going to assume that they tripled the food budget to $6,000. Put the numbers on the table.


Now, time to calculate some miscellaneous. Keep in mind that estimating them is pure speculation with little basis due to a lack of extensive information. For the tech, it was estimated to be $1,000, considering most of the production crews were simply using their own tools. As for the party bus during phase 2, it was estimated to be $4,000, based on the price on the website they rent for ($150-$200/hour) and the fact that Jon used it full day 3 times.


The total cost for hosting this trainwreck reality show is $36,100.

There you have it. If we subtract the cost from the sponsor money they received, they should at least have around $4,000 left. God knows what kind of shit they would spend the spare money on. Either going out partying or buying some "snow" in Redmond. Though it should be stated that the sponsors were not the only source of funding, as the show would also made some income as well.

Other than the sponsors, the show made an income from 4 different sources:

• A crypto streaming site that gives you a little bit of crypto from streaming.
• Half of the betting from retardio.casino.
• The NCO site where people can send fishtoy knock-off (aka. boytoy) to support or annoy the contestant.
• TTS, the most lucrative ones.

There is also another source of income: Kick partner deal, where Jon would beg all of the producers and contestants to pay for their subscription to his Kick channel.

Finally, let's talk about The Prize Money.​

The grand prize for ADL is $10,000. However, its existence has been quietly memory-holed from the show as nobody seems to be made aware of it, including most contestants, since the majority of them were plants who had a relationship with production and were there for the experience.

On the final day of ADL, Carl was declared the winner and would receive the grand prize of $10,000. Everyone celebrated and said "Hurray!"

Carl Victory Declaration.​

What a happy ending, isn't it? Unfortunately, no, as Carl hasn't received the promised grand prize money and most likely never will.

In a stream after the show, Van was confronted about the grand prize, and he responded by saying he had no idea about the prize and claimed that Carl had received it anyway.

Van on the Grand Prize.​

Wait? Isn't that technically illegal?

Oh, don't worry about that. The contract was printed sideways, unlike other documents. Therefore, it is Null and Void, at least according to the coke-brained wetawd.

In an interview, Carl just accepted his fate that he will never get to receive the money, as he was just there for the experience. Though he would refuse if he was invited again without being paid.

Thus, the end of American Dude Lodge, where there is nothing to win or gain except losses.

Right near the end of the show, Jon began making threats and doxing Mac since he was planning to make an exposé on ADL as promised after he left the show.

When Mac just tweeted a commentary on the show, Van quote-tweeted him and implying that he would be doxed under Jon's account.


Note: Those tweets were made by Van rather than Hades; if those were Hades, then the tweets would be immediately retweeted on his personal account.

He would spam call Mac's phone number. Although he then immediately said he wasn't that mad at him.

Then made a bunch of cryptic, passive-aggressive tweets against him.



Later on, Mac revealed that Jon had been sending him screenshots of Whitepages containing Mac's personal information and his relatives' as well. In the DM, Jon threatened to ruin his life using such information.



Mac then contacted Hades to see if he supported Jon harassing his longtime "friend" and his family. Hades responded to Mac, saying he was just overreacting.



Though in the end, Jon backpedaled and said he was going to smear and slander him instead, as if that made any better. Mac also theorized whether Hades had a hand in making the slander a little bit "accurate".



Doxing and Harassment might seem very out of character for Jon. Well, bad news for you, as Jon has been known to be a doxer in the past. In an interview, Timmy and Ben Palaskas talked about Jon's doxing habit.

Jon the Doxer.​

In a secretly recorded Discord call, Jon was having a clear-cut crashout.

During the crashout, Jon also complained about trolls editing a pic of him kissing a gay black man.



What an entertaining crashout from our favorite autistic wetawd. Nevertheless, the ride doesn't end here.

In a Twitter space, Jon would come out to defend his recent behaviour, essentially admitting in the process.

Bleau would also come out and try to defend his disgusting behaviour on the show.

Van didn't do anything to defend himself, but in his stream, he said that Jon was admitted into a mental hospital, which turned out to be an obvious lie.

Conclusion​

There you have it—the whole story of a niche internet reality show chronicled from the beginning to the end. You have seen all the faults, lies, drama, infighting, incidents, abuses, and other things that led to its downfall that nobody would be surprised by. The accusations they raised against another show in the beginning are nothing but projection, as they proved themselves to be worse than them (or at least fail to hide it better than them). What started as a promising and fun reality show based around Christian values turned into another godless and degenerate humiliation ritual, fueled by vices, ego, and drugs.

You have the answer to what caused the downfall of ADL, and now, who was responsible for it?

Some people would say Jon. Some people would say Bleau. Some people would say Mac. And some people would say everyone. Everyone can have their opinion. But let's focus on this trio's opinion on who truly caused the downfall of ADL.

Van said it was everyone but himself.​

Jon said it was Mac.​

Bleau said it was DA JOOZ.​

In the end, you would know the obvious answer is Jon, Van, and Bleau, who collectively poison the product with their stupid decision-making, incompetent misuse of funds, and near criminal abuse of power, where sexual harassment, illegal drug use, and invasion of personal property were just ignored.

The Future of ADL​

During the middle of ADL, there was a talk that this season was just a trial run and the next season would be the real season. According to Mac, Jon doesn't rule out season 2 of ADL. They still have plenty of young people willing to get on the show. If such a season 2 is about to happen, it is most likely to be smaller than season 1.

Power structure in the NCO would also be changed. For the time being, Bleau might no longer be in the equation. The top trio in NCO would be Jon, Van, and Hadesmoon Ben Palaskas.



And the name won't be American Dude Lodge, given how much taint that name has. In a stream, Van said they might pick a much more homoerotic masculine name in a stream.

The future of ADL depends on Jon's ability to check his ego, ensuring it will never get the better of him. As long as Jon remains the same egotistical lolcow he is, the less likely season 2 of ADL is to be a guaranteed success, let alone dreaming of having another one. Whether we'll find out American Dude Lodge is destined to be a one-off project or a hit internet reality show spanning more than 10 seasons, it depends completely on Jon and his team.
