Welcome back to the podcast everyone, this week we’re diving deep into gaming chaos, creator life, and a wild story from my night out. We’re talking about the GTA staff layoffs and the GTA 6 delay, Nintendo taking Ls with the Palworld situation, real streaming and content creator tips that people never actually tell you, and something that happened to me on Saturday that I think is worth chatting about properly.

In Episode 7 of the podcast, I sit down after a chaotic couple of weeks to talk about everything that’s been going on — from my trip to FORMAT Liverpool 2025 to the massive change that’s coming after the subathon. This episode’s packed: creator life, travel chaos, meme-worthy politics, and what really happens when the camera isn’t rolling.We start with a full recap of FORMAT Liverpool, my first big event in a while. I talk about meeting fans, creators, and game devs, the best (and worst) booths I saw, and the strange quiet that hits when you finally get back home. It’s the post-event crash every creator knows — your head’s buzzing, your feet hurt, and your voice is half-gone, but it’s somehow still worth every second.Then I dive into what’s next — upcoming events, collabs, travel plans, and what the next few months look like for the Parkenev crew. Gregory might be going international, there’s new merch on the way, and we’ve got big podcast and YouTube projects cooking in the background.After that comes the big announcement I’ve been hinting at for weeks: I’m moving from full-time streaming to part-time. Yep, after this subathon wraps up, I’ll be changing how I work and what I focus on. I talk about why I made that decision — the burnout, the late nights, the desire to do more than just live stream every day. It’s not a goodbye to streaming, it’s just time for a smarter balance between Twitch, TikTok, YouTube, and the podcast.We also talk about JD Vance’s viral Halloween moment, where the U.S. Vice President literally dressed up as the meme version of himself (“Fat JD”). I unpack why that story went so viral, how it shows the weird overlap between politics and meme culture, and why leaning into your quirks isn’t always a bad thing. If the VP can cosplay as his own meme, maybe creators like me can embrace our own chaos — banana jokes, Gregory cameos, terrible Sandtris skills and all.The final part of the episode goes deeper — what happens when the camera’s off. It’s an honest look at what life as a creator is really like when you’re not live. The quiet, the editing grind, the loneliness, and the little moments that remind you why you still love doing this. It’s the side most people never see, and it ties back perfectly to why I’m changing my schedule after the subathon. Sometimes stepping back a little lets you see the whole picture again.So grab a drink, get comfy, and let’s talk about the chaos of FORMAT Liverpool, the creator grind, JD Vance memes, and what comes next for Parkenev and this whole wild community.

In this episode, we cover streamer burnout, Charlie Kirk’s assassination, Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension & comeback, and the explosive Ned Fulmer podcast with his ex-wife. This one got delayed (should’ve gone up last week—sorry!), but it’s packed with raw takes and truth bombs you won’t hear elsewhere.

I dig into what drove me to speak out, how content creators are grappling with mental burnout, and why the assassination of Charlie Kirk changed the landscape of internet discourse overnight. We also break down Jimmy Kimmel’s controversial suspension, how he managed his return, and what it signals for media accountability. Then we shift gears into the heartbreak and betrayal behind Ned Fulmer’s podcast with his ex, and what we can learn from it.

If you’re into scandal, culture wars, streaming life, or moral accountability, this episode is for you. 🤯

This week we sat down with our special guest HauntedRaptor to talk about how much content creation has changed. What people expected from creators 5–10 years ago versus what’s expected now, from the old “upload and pray” days to today’s nonstop cycle of streams, shorts, TikToks, editing, thumbnails, SEO, and somehow also being a brand, comedian, and marketing wizard all at once. Of course, in true fashion, we also wandered into a few completely unrelated topics and forgot half of what we were meant to talk about… but that’s part of the charm.

Ben lost a game of Catan so badly that his mic arm literally broke, we dove into the messy world of burnout and taking breaks… and then Mothinamug dropped the most cursed hot take ever: they don’t like The Lion King. 🦁💀
