Reckless Ben

So I mean, that's probably my number two.

Let me think of another one that if I see there's Oh, recently Reckless Ben has been killing it.

Yes.

Gotta

love Reckless Ben.

I just watched his most recent video going to that university for troubled teens or

kids.

He's earning that trust.

It could have been killed.

Yeah, I had a completely different opinion of this case before our editor, Mr. Bonsi, made me aware of a YouTuber by the name of Reckless Ben, who shines an entirely different light on this case.

But the only time I'd ever heard of McKamey Manor was through, do you guys remember that Netflix series, Dark Tourist? the australian or kiwi guy that goes around to different parts of the world i have like a 15 minute glimpse into mckamey manor when oh boy oh boy there's uh there's hours upon hours of glances and glimpses you can have which are very disturbing dan what do you think of this case

Yeah, I'm fascinated.

Very intriguing.

Eventually, for reasons that are not clear, Russ was laid off from the Navy.

YouTuber Reckless Ben, who we'll discuss a little further later on in the episode, would speculate the following on a live stream.

He got diagnosed by a doctor, he has OCD, and then you mix in what happened to him as a kid.

Wow.

So if they reclaim this way, so if corporate comes and reclaims all of the fucking inventory, but reckless Ben signed all of the inventory, does that mean that they're going to reclaim it and then sell inventory with reckless Ben's signature? Another trap! Wow.

Oh my God.

Whoa, the news is here.

There's the video.

Make sure to give it a like.

As you guys know, I love Reckless Ben.

I've watched every single one of these videos about the LEGO event, right? The LEGO event.

My name is Noel.

They call me Ben.

We're joined, as always, with our super producer, Dylan, The Tennessee Pal Fagan.

Most importantly, you are you.

Mm-hmm.

Yeah.

Well, Ben, you and I did an episode about the history of Saturday morning cartoons, um, on Ridiculous History where we talk a lot about legislation that, uh, had to kind of evolve, um, with television and with these advertising kind of campaigns and aggressive tactics, uh, specifically geared towards protecting children, you know?

Right.

them down.

Reckless Ben.

I know.

He is making fists as he's telling us he's an adrenaline junkie.

Has he never seen that? Oh, man.

Dave, if you haven't seen, and it didn't get a lot of views, but there's this guy named Reckless Ben.

He's got a prank channel on YouTube.

Well, Nathan, you know who Nathan Thompson is.

They have him dress up in a duck suit so he doesn't get radiation from the tests that they're doing.

They have him try and stack.

There's so many times throughout this documentary that anybody would have known that it was a hoax anybody ever nathan because he's so proud of himself that these harvard students called him and i even called him and told him because he was like showing on his instagram and i was like i looked at the guy and i was like isn't that we found out it's reckless ben i was like i called him i was like dude that's a prank guy he's on youtube as a prankster go to his channel he's like yeah right you're just jealous of me i have better discernment than you like wow there's this whole documentary that i you did you watch the whole thing gabe it was funny huh Which documentary?

I actually haven't seen all of it yet.

They arrested a bunch of people and, well, they violated a lot of civil rights.

And that went about having four of the people in that Reckless Ben video on the Lego dispute is suing 13 of the police officers in Utah for a civil rights lawsuit.

This whole thing was about getting Brian Manziel's Lego bricks and we got them back.

But it also created some other things that came up.

...

Ben Schneider.

Um-

Right

His family sued the franchise, claiming their agreement was breached and that Bricks and Minifigs stole the Lego collection.

When the family couldn't get a resolution, they reached out to YouTuber Ben Schneider, who tried taking those reportedly responsible to court.

Schneider traveled to American Fork, Utah, where the franchise executive lives, and started documenting interactions with the executive and posting videos.

That executive called police several times.
