Can't believe this! We received some disheartening hate mail so we decided to turn the tables and transform their hate into our channel trailer. We're only a few folks in, but thanks to everyone who has watched our channel thus far (especially if you didn't send us hate mail after watching).

This is a short documentary I spent the past few months piecing together about the legendary Mike Leach. "Mike Leach Isn't Dead" Thank you to all the external source footage that made creating this possible, there's a lot of good interviews on UA-cam to check out. Mike Leach was our episode 1 on this channel, we tell some more stories about him in that video: ua-cam.com/video/jUXX_nOMtzI/v-deo....

Creed Bratton played a character by the same name on The Office TV Show ... but the spooky thing is: "Creed Bratton" should have never existed. Thanks to John Tyler Allen (no affiliation with this video) - he talked with Creed extensively for an article published in Esquire in 2022 and this was the most helpful of any sources when making this video. www.esquire.com/entertainment/music/a39662813...

This is a history documentary about a man from the early years of America. It's not really much of a documentary, more of a casual recount of a few stories pertaining to this mountain man that seemed to pop up all over the place during his lifetime. Tales straight from a world long gone. A story of survival and revenge. A man who led an unimaginable life relative to our comforts of today.

This is our first video - on a guy who was as entertaining as he was genuine… and all that aside was just a legendary football coach for his offensive innovations and resurrection of multiple mediocre programs. A warm and sincere welcome to our brand new channel. There is no one here yet but that's ok. Hopefully by folk 55 there will be a few viewers. Enjoy and we’d extend an invitation to join...

    He had a certain unique confidence, but his music was a bit too middle-of-the-road for my personal tastes. And some of his hits were unlistenable, like the head in the oven song, and one where the girl has the same tattoo too. Jeff Lynne is one of my hands down absolute favorite artists and producers, but I didn't get it when that sound was infused into TP's music.

    "I've heard hitting South Georgia island was a one in a million chance, but that doesn't make sense because there's only so many degrees of....so it's like one in ten I don't know" Yes my boy, you absolutely don't know. You're imagining it while looking at a map. Ask an offshore boat captain,he'll tell you it's worse than one in a million. One in ten? Of all the statements I've heard on UA-cam, a one in ten chance of finding SG island after a 1500km journey in those conditions on that boat takes the number one spot. Congratulations 🎉👏!!

    Something you left out in the Mike Leech/Texas Tech scandal is that Leech tried to sue the school for their conduct, but it was dismissed on summary judgement. Which basically means they dismissed it without a trial because Leech didn't have a case. I know people love him, but i think he fucked up that Texas Tech situation. Should have just let the kid wear sunglasses OR dismissed him from practice.
