in the corner
on my birthday
you watched me
dancing right there in the grass
i was too young
to notice
that some types of love could be bad
praying i’d be likе you
doing all of the things that you do
and i still do
and that scares me

I’ve waited for another Psycho Series for so many years…somebody to pour their soul into this art-form and share meaningful depth, but the sad reality is…this show will never happen again. It can’t. It was a time and place. Even I couldn’t make it now. Things are so different. That time period on the internet is gone. Youtube was still new and exciting. My friends and family were still here. I was experiencing the best years of growing up. In my 20’s, out of college, with my whole life ahead of me. Happy and healthy with so much to prove.
I find myself watching Psycho videos or random vlogs from the series often, I’m so grateful to be able to go back and see these memories. I miss Aunt Jackie. I miss Uncle Chris. I miss PoopJohn and Ella. I miss my family being that young, myself included, all having the time of our lives. Time has eluded us all, huh? The fans who were once kids or teenagers are now Psycho Kid’s age or beyond…out of school, entering the workforce and trying to find meaning in their life…or better yet just trying to make enough money to get by.
The Psycho Series will probably hit you even harder now. You’re living it. It’s a tale as old as time. How far are you willing to go to make your life better despite all of the obstacles and people hoping you fail? Will you listen to your Dad…? Or will you listen to your heart?
Anyways…I could ramble on forever about the “good ole days”…I’m Unc now. OG YT. Psycho Series is biblical now. I struggle with saying goodbye.
Happy 10-year anniversary, Psycho Series. You changed my life in every way imaginable and so many others. Juggies for Life. Maybe just maybe…I can figure out time travel…SNAP my fingers and we can go back to revisit it ONE LAST TIME. 👀 (stay tuned on my channel today)
“I am ready. And if that means goodbye…then it’s time to fly into the light, nothing but sky and this strong Battle Cry.” 🦅❤️
10 Years ago today, I shot my Father & fled to Switzerland with what I thought was $30k in cash.
It wasn’t. The money was spent. I was spent. And I was on the run now.
When I finally tasted freedom, I was faced with an immeasurable guilt for an unforgivable act…I killed the man who wanted me to be better, albeit in his own sick way.
“Don’t ever do what I did! Because I have to live with that now. And I don’t know if I can handle that…” I said, pleading to my Youtube audience.
The Internet exploded as thousands of cop calls flooded in. The world watched in horror as the Psycho Kid confessed that he was leaving Youtube forever…
We can all remember where we were and what we were doing the day that the Psycho Series ended, the day that we all learned it was a scripted show.
The camera fell, I hugged my family, thanking them for enduring hell with me…and then I dropped to the floor and wept. I felt immense relief that I could finally rid myself of this burdensome character, but I also was hit with tremendous sadness and grief that it was all over. This was my crowning achievement, an homage to my childhood. I said goodbye to the kid in me…
An odd poetry exists as my world has erupted again for a REAL tragedy…10 years apart to the day, fictionally killing my Dad vs a Dad faced with “killing his son”. The art will often MIRROR our real life in disturbing ways, that’s a true expression of the soul. It’s exactly why you found me.
It has officially been a DECADE since the Psycho Series ended, the longest-running and most popular pseudo-reality web series on Youtube with over A BILLION VIEWS and 685 episodes. (arguably way more if you count the 10 other channels running simultaneously in-universe, love me some chillin & grillin).
There’s not a day that goes by where I don’t reminisce about the Psycho Series. What I would do to go back to being 21, living at my parent’s house and filming silly Youtube videos with Corn. Becoming a big Youtuber felt like such a pipe-dream, an impossible goal to chase forever…to what lengths would I go? What story would I tell…?
I know. A coming-of-age story…MY coming-of-age story. My “real life”. An exaggerated version of my old school Father with anger issues, a brother whose sole purpose is to torment me, a Mom who believes in me but lost her say and an Uncle who is my greatest friend and support system - the Dad that I never had.
And then we’ll just break a bunch of shit. Video games, consoles, Thanksgiving Dinner, cars, rooms, pools, trailers…Literally anything we can get our hands on to hook people in. The Dad is a destructive machine and it’s making the kid CRAZY. All while he’s filming it for views and trying to show the world and his Pops it IS a career. Money rolls in, fans/haters become a part of the narrative and suddenly every single one of my friends and extended family members are in on it!
Whether we’re shoveling pig shit with Uncle Chris at McCann’s Farm, playing Skyrim in a tent in the woods (Eagle’s Landing), getting spooky at Aunt Jackie’s house with two monkeys effing a football, my parents divorcing and my mom becoming an alcoholic with Mrs. Stahlberger or hunting for jobs and suckling ice cream from a spout at Toni’s Treats…it was always an adventure!
I can’t thank all of you enough for what has been the greatest honor of my life, you have trusted me for over a decade now with telling stories and being a part of my family. You have truly made my dreams come true, that’s why I’ve always worked so damn hard to give it back to you. “McJuggerNuggets was always so fake” some would say, his series aren’t real…but the irony is that the ones who were there on the journey, you KNOW it was real. It was real to me. You can FEEL it in the subtext.

i believe in re-reading and re-watching your favourite books & movies at different stages of your life. the plot never changes, but your perspective does.
10 Years Ago.
I boarded a flight to Tokyo to perform for @njpw1972.
22 years old I could barely speak English and I was so scared going to a country by myself that I couldn’t speak the language.
I spent 8 years in Japan & it completely shaped me as a man.
Japan taught me patience & etiquette. All I wanted to do was show my love & appreciation to a country that allowed me to be a kid & I got to grow up in a locker room full of men I had the utmost respect for.
I’ve not stopped thinking about you since I left 2 years ago.
Can’t wait to come home and wrestle in my favourite arena in wrestling.
