Game Grumps: Stories from Past Jobs

I watch these to pretend I'm hanging out with people

Man, Dan has had quite the career haha. Started out working jobs at an ice cream shop, Harley Davidson shop, coffee shop GameStop, comic book store, radio station, and a plastic ring factory, etc… graduated with a college degree in advertising… then went on to be a struggling freelance musician… started a two man comedy band, and finally settled in as an Internet comedian on YouTube. Dan, you the man bro.

Dan: "I quit my job yesterday!" Arin, his boss, sweating profusely: "Dan why are you telling me this now..."

"Everything worth doing is scary." Ain't that the truth, Dan. Wise words.

This compilation is so grounding. Hearing their tribulations is such a good reminder that everyone is running their own race; we all just have different finish lines.

"The burger put me in like, a weird coma throughout the day" Are you sure that was a burger and not the copious amounts of weed you used to smoke Dan?

"It was the year... megaman..." thats how i remember things too.

Arin's rendition of Fallout Boy was flawless

"The best things in life come when you're out of your comfort zone and everything worth doing is scary" Wow that is a really good quote

Danny saying "I love you" at the end is really heartwarming. Seriously. He is my personal hero. Where he was is where I am now and where he is is where I want to be. So when he says stuff like "You have to work those shitty jobs and it's going ot be tough but stick it out. I know first hand that there will be moments where you just want to give up." Like.... to know that he went through that and came out the other side as Danny Sexbang. Like...... what a hero.

Arin in a blockbuster uniform. That fanart needs to exist-

Dan talking about pursuing your dreams (starts around the 47:47 mark) is genuinely really inspirational. I need to download that clip and replay it whenever I need a reminder 💖

Walking into a coffee shop at 6 am and hearing prime era Mastodon blasting sounds like a religious experience

Okay, thank you for this real shit though. I’m so completely lost and everyone around me is being the opposite of helpful, either saying they never found their dream or saying to just pull it together. So thank you for talking about how actually awful it can be, but also how worth it it is. That it’s okay to feel like everyone is pulling ahead of you in life, but you just have to have the stomach for it. I doubt any of the grumps will ever see this, but thanks for the real shit. It has at least helped one person

Arins cover of Fall Out Boy is now my new fave... lol

27:27 Dan: "this is the saddest grumps ever" but little does he know that sad Hoshi is about to come

"If you respect what I bring to the show, and Jon respects what I bring to the show, and my mom and dad like me..."

At 22:20 the animation is following what Ross is saying and how I imagine his movements are while speaking were

Dimitrios (sorry if I misspelled that, I'm not from New York) sold me some sweet shit from Midtown when I was in NYC.
