I honestly feel bad for Donut. While I think he likely does have an honest group of friends with his ‘Unsubscribe’ buddies, I also think he’s been chronically depressed for over a decade and drinking binges can’t be helping him.
I’ve followed Donut well before he was popular. He’s gone from blown out tatted up whore to blown out tatted up whore: he’s opened up skate shops with them, tried to get into real estate, and filled the void in between by day-drinking and being mean on Twitter. His first wife left him and didn’t even want to be in his son’s life and he’s now on tatted up whore number… four? I don’t know, I’ve lost count, and so has he. He’s marrying this one.
Dude obviously lives with regret every time they have a veteran who comes on and asks him about him going to BUDs. Dude has his head firmly in the past: he’s constantly moving from one thing to the next. Whether that’s being a store owner, a cop, a podcaster, a real estate agent, or whatever. I think he lost the opportunity to do what he truly always wanted to do and nothing has filled that gap since.
He needs to cut out the alcohol and get off the internet for a few months. Go out, touch some grass, build relationships that don’t revolve around drinking or his life-that-wasn’t and move the fuck on. Out of all the Guntuber-adjacent people I watch, I feel like he’d be the happiest if he just fucked off and never came back.
I don't know how he can be regretful for washing out of BUDS and leaving the Navy shortly afterwards, given what we found out about Donut's Navy "career" and subsequent divorce.
1. By his own admission, he should have never been allowed in the military to begin with, having failed the physical part of the application process only to have his recruiter turn out to be a super corrupt piece of shit who falsified documents/PT scores to make Donut pass solely to make his recruitment quota.
2. That after everyone at boot camp quickly found out that Donut was a fat out of shape kid who should have been told "we don't want your out of shape ass" by his recruiter after failing the PT portion of recruitment, they didn't kick him out on the spot because said crooked as fuck recruiter apparently had friends in high places who didn't want to dishonorably discharge said fucker for blatant illegal, corrupt antics. So Donut got to become a sailor purely because no one wanted to do the right thing and get rid of a corrupt recruiter.
3. As a result of him being deemed a fuck up that was only allowed to stay as a sailor because someone didn't want their recruiter buddy to be kicked out of the navy in disgrace, Donut got put on Charlie duty as he was deemed unfit to do anything but the lowliest of grunt work. Which fucking sucks as that means you are unwanted and get worked like a dog doing shit no one wants to do to keep the wheels of the military machine running.
4. In response, Donut decided the best way out of his hell was to become a Navy Seal and somehow found a way to escape this hellish fate of Charlie work via loopholes where he managed to spend an entire year not doing ANY of said Charlie work and just working out/becoming a gym bunny, working his ass off so he could raise his PT scores so that he could get into BUDs and prove his haters wrong and basically got away with it, as his superiors didn't realize what the fuck he was doing until he already got accepted for BUDs and couldn't be punished.
5. In BUDs, Donut was repeatedly told, when he injured his back big time, to "walk it off faggot", culminating in him quitting because the alternative was breaking his body beyond repair.
And as we know, washing out of BUDs was probably the best thing that could happen to Donut, since his first wife then decided to abandon their kid with him instead of dragging baby John to live with the guy she was fucking behind Donut's back who didn't want to have anything to do with the kid and probably would have abused and mistreated if she had taken him with her when she fucked off and left with her boytoy.
As it stands, Donut's Navy career might have been a bust but it was doomed from day one and if anything, Donut should be glad to have pulled the shit he got to pull AND get out in time to ensure he got to keep his son and save him from a disastrous upbringing with a monster mom and step dad who might have for shits and giggles, tricked John into thinking he was his bio daddy so that his abuse of him would sting even harder when John learned the truth about his real dad being out there on the East Coast somewhere faceless and anonymous due to his monster mom destroying all photos of him and refusing to give him a name once he found out the truth about his "dad".
And speaking of the new best of episode, Unsub is now shilling off-brand Viagra with a new queerbaiting spot featuring King Trout and Eli, with King Queerbait Trout being Pepe Le Pew level aggressively sexually harassing Eli like he has done in previous commercial spots, while Brandon laughs and plugs said off-brand Viagra.
