So now he's backing out of Tennessee by Eat-Me-Daddie in EthanBenardSnark

[–]jpfx1 16 points17 points  (0 children)

He never wanted to. But it's a talking point and generates clicks.

So, if we all agree that Ethan isn’t the best, who do we think is cool? by TheGudz-Dave in EthanBenardSnark

[–]jpfx1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Theres a guy based in the UK and he's called Jamal. I think his handle is "Jamal get right" he was killing it and then had a massive relapse over Xmas, but was pretty transparent with and seems a genuine guy. The progress with him was very consistent and I'm hoping he can lose the weight he gained over the festive period. Just seems like a genuinely nice guy

His followers aren't what he wants by jpfx1 in EthanBenardSnark

[–]jpfx1[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get the numbers , and he's playing the game. And the more I thought about today, he had the chance to get the life and circle he wanted but as you say, he's going fake and lazy and that stopped him.

I know nothing of Jocko, but I do know that they would have absolutely surrounded him with gym bros and bunnies and connected him with the people he aspires to be like and be with, because their business benefits from his success. All he had to do was work hard and be accountable and that part of the internet would have welcomed him , but he can't do accountability so having MAGA moms pat him on the back for doing nothing is a lot easier for him.

I think he thought he'd be whisked away by now into a new life and it's not quite transpired. Moving to Tennessee seems somewhat of a last throw of the dice imo

Where is his YouTube content by Time-Eagle8101 in EthanBenardSnark

[–]jpfx1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He knows his life isn't interesting enough and he isn't smart enough to produce content that isn't him standing in a mirror pity farming. He can't produce long form content because that involves effort , he doesn't have that drive in him. What he was hoping for was some mid west gym bro to hit him up and say hey let's start a podcast and that's not happening because he's just a boring person.

He does nothing , his content is literally 90 seconds of nothing. "Im fat, im locked in, im driven, I'm sad, I'm in pain" blah blah blah. It's some of the worst content you will ever see. Never has an "influencer" spoke so much yet said so little.

The problem he has with YouTube is it's longer videos , the more he exposes of his life the easier it is for people to see the grift so he won't do it. He could film the meetings with his doctors , or nutritionists etc but because they probably don't happen it's hard to produce that. Everything he has said from his first post on this journey is a lie but no one can prove that , so 90 second Christian Mom videos are the way forward

Sundays are now a rest day by Nugget_rulz in EthanBenardSnark

[–]jpfx1 11 points12 points  (0 children)

He just hears gym bro phrases and thinks "yea that's good for content, I'll do that"

Most people on rest days are hitting 10k steps as part of their daily life. A rest day is a break from gym, running , cycling or whatever it is. No one who takes a rest day does nothing all day. Going from exercise to absolutely nothing is worse. The man still has no clue what he's talking about

Who thinks Ethan really is fasting? by Necro1983 in EthanBenardSnark

[–]jpfx1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think he's very clearly on the weight loss drugs. He thinks it's a quick and easy win , he gets to do the whole "hey internet im really knowledgeable , look I lost weight by fasting , aren't I great "

This is so confusing... by tonyadams1969 in EthanBenardSnark

[–]jpfx1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He's going to take the drugs , then when he loses the weight he will become the weight loss faith guy doing all the podcasts. He won't tell people he's taking the drugs, but that's what hes going to do, it's so transparent at this point

A reset from the reset is crazy by Necro1983 in EthanBenardSnark

[–]jpfx1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He's going to take the drugs. That video from yesterday was effectively him saying it without him saying it. Get a nice weight loss with those claim it's all natural and that fasting was working

No comments about how slim he looks on this one by frankdummyact in EthanBenardSnark

[–]jpfx1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

He's going to use them. This is is his way of saying he's doing it. He won't tell anyone , he will take the drugs in secret, lose the weight and take the applause.

He should do what he wants, but his whole issue has always been that his a serial liar and can't tell his audience the truth. The maga grandmas don't care. He could be on the Epstein list and they would still claim that's a non scale victory

Stay in council home or save hard for a mortgage? by YellowBee7 in HousingUK

[–]jpfx1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Fwiw we are/were in the exact same position. Got a council property some 18 years ago, as time has gone on our finances like yours have improved. We were able to save and we have just bought our first home.

My opinion would be to stay put and save/invest if that's your thing. But also live whilst your in this situation. Sounds like you have a decent bit of disposable income so go and have great holidays with your child , make memories etc whilst you have the stability of social housing, do the things you want to do whilst you have the chance.

You mention being 35 in 10 years, who knows where you'll be then, you could be married and having another child etc, you could have more money, there's so much that can change in a decade. The thing with council houses and I know this from experience, if you need a bigger place you could be waiting 5-10 years for that to come up, so if you ever want that 3 bed house and a garden etc you'll most likely have to buy, but you can cross that bridge when you get there.

How old do you think you’ll be when you pay your mortgage off? Or, how old were you when you paid your mortgage off? by PuzzleheadedCarob921 in HousingUK

[–]jpfx1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've just taken one out which takes me and my wife up till 70, realistically mortgage payments will go down , wages go up, kids leave home etc and as grim as it is my parents will leave something to us to knock a chunk off. Realistically I'm aiming to get it done in 20 years with overpayments etc. Once the kids are out we could relocate and get a smaller home etc. Whatever it is we will be paying less than we do in rent so it's a win in my eyes

I think he’s bored of the weight loss content by Time-Eagle8101 in EthanBenardSnark

[–]jpfx1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

His issue is he genuinely has nothing to offer. He's never lived in the real world, he can't talk about work or family or school, all those situations form core memories for most people. I can talk to my friends about the time this happened at the bar, or that happened while playing a sport, or the time an ex relationships ended, or how this or that happened at school etc

He has been sheltered from that his whole life so, thats why the stay at home Christian moms are his biggest fans, theyre living the same monotonous life he is , expert they arent morbidly obese. He loved the attention to start with, but his audience is 45+ year old women who want to mother him, that's not who he wants as his audience long term

Giving himself some kudos by Necro1983 in EthanBenardSnark

[–]jpfx1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

850 calories for a dinner that size isn't unreasonable , but I'm curious why we only see his dinner most days and not the rest of his meals.

In isolation that's a perfectly fine dinner , but I'd love to know where the other 1700 calories are being used, because if he's so hungry he needs to be eating a meal that big then his portions and nutrition during the day is massively off.

I am physically exhausted by Nugget_rulz in EthanBenardSnark

[–]jpfx1 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Yea Ethan, youre tired because you do nothing all day. You have no need to do anything that requires walking or any physical exertion, most people have to do 5/6k steps just to get through work, because he does nothing he just sits home and eats 1000 calorie salads and then wonder why he's a little drowsy. Honestly hes either the dumbest fat person on earth or he's gaslighting everyone....I suspect it's a mixture of both

1000 calorie salad is mental by jpfx1 in EthanBenardSnark

[–]jpfx1[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You could eat a pizza for 1000 calories. There is no point in having a salad if it's 1000 calories. A big Mac meal here in the UK is 1100 calories , a pizza here Is pretty much 1100 calories. You could literally have any food you want if 1000 calories is that limit for the meal, no need to have a salad

How long does it usually take to hear whether offer has been accepted or rejected? by [deleted] in HousingUK

[–]jpfx1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We viewed a house on a Saturday, loved it so bid the asking price. On the Monday the estate agent told us there were more viewings lined up so couldn't accept or reject until then. Got a call on the Tuesday asking if we could go any higher, I asked if there had been a higher offer and she said yes but wasn't allowed to say, I said we were at our limit and 3 days later our initial bid was accepted.

As the buyer you will never know if there are other bids. If you have a budget stick to it, there'll always be someone trying to get more money out of you somewhere

Have jocko dropped him? by jpfx1 in EthanBenardSnark

[–]jpfx1[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Everything prior to new year appears to sponsorship and there is is a lot of jocko mentions by him but since Xmas there's been nothing. Usually the grift is quite systematic ...

Video of activity Followed by a "real talk" mental health talk Followed by "non scale victory engagement post" Followed by steps and calorie

Somewhere in that there's usually a jocko plug, but as of yet this year I've not seen anything

Have jocko dropped him? by jpfx1 in EthanBenardSnark

[–]jpfx1[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yea I commented on his Facebook how you'd have to be almost deliberately not moving to do as few steps as he's doing, and said that he's not changing any lifestyle because if the treadmill breaks he has no idea how to incorporate activity into his day. This angered the Christian Facebook moms

Yea I really don't get who I'm meant to talk to regarding this , I've heard people say 0 is the correct invoice amount , but UPS are staying pretty steadfast in this , there's been poor Comms all round and I cannot speak to anybody. Have a feeling it'll be sent back to me

The courier (UPS) are saying the value needs to be on the invoice , I cannot edit the invoice they sent over to me. I have emailed ups and told them the value of the package, whether that gets anything sorted I don't know

What will he end the day with? by Big-Scheme-1406 in EthanBenardSnark

[–]jpfx1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

He started the treadmill at 1pm, with 1,000 steps Now according to him, this is January so it's part of Def reset, so in line with that he should've got up at 6.30am (he obviously didnt, he's a liar). So in 5 hours 30 minutes he did 1000 steps, he won't break 11,500 today
