Gently Down The Stream

 

So having all the time in the world once again, and, dealing with this persistent insomnia, I find myself having time to reconnect with my ip2 streamers.

The Gen Z version of Cheech and Chong to the left aren't streamers themselves, they'd be called content, people or things that a streamer encounters while walking out and about IRL, meaning in real life, basically, interesting people and happenings on the street.

These dudes were met by SonicOne as he's drifting aimlessly searching for food, drinks, and other substances, on the streets of lower Manhattan. Yes, by the way, the smoke is what you would think, but apparently it's legal there.

Last night Sonic made about $750 as he was smooching and carousing about the outdoor eateries and venues of Alphabet City.

Meanwhile, over the past couple nights, Chicken Andy and his supposed RV8 crew traversed slowly Eastward from Kansas City to St Louis to tonight somewhere near Springfield, IL. The rig he had last year around the time of this post, was pretty much completely destroyed over the winter, and now he's in a new to him rig, looks like a 1980s Class A RV. But not to worry, he and the rest of his crew are rightfully abusing it up and it should look like a pile of shit before very long.

Not sure what happened with Captain Content. He went to Spain around Christmas time stayed there for a while. He streamed but apparently the majority of his audience is US based and more so than even my generation kids today apparently could give a shit less about anything in Europe so of course he got almost no donos. From one of his last streams about a month ago it looks like he took on a full-time job after he returned to LA. Not sure what the job is but it entails driving a car from place to place. Not his car some mother dudes car, perhaps a chauffeur or something, but maybe it was just something as simple as an Uber driver yet he didn't want to tell us. Gone are the fun old days. He hasn't streamed anything in months now. Oh wait, as if to call me a liar, I just noticed he's live streaming right now. Checked it out, it's just him sitting at a laptop in his RV, doesn't seem to be engaging with chat, but does it really matter since there are only 22 people in chat? How sad.

What about Andy Dick? Well a few months back he got in trouble with the law in Santa Barbara or something like that and spent a bit of time in jail. When he got out he said he was reformed and not going to drink anymore and seemed really Earnest to try to get his life back together. That lasted about 24 hours. Before long he was back being used and exploited by Billy John once again, hold up in that nasty cheap apartment off Hollywood Boulevard. But in the past month or so Billy John's content hasn't featured Andy Dick at all so I think he was either rescued or he's really dropped off the face of the Earth. Somehow though I've Got a Feeling we haven't seen the last of him.

Finally, there's our old pal Jimi the Hobo. Over the course of the past year he's moved back and forth between Rosarito, Albuquerque, staying in a tent in the woods of San Diego, renting cheap hotel rooms again in TJ, back to Rosarito, spending an inordinate amount of time with an elder gay neighbor, and back to Albuquerque again. Spurs all of this activity with a few blackout months where he pulls down all of his content on his channel in disgust of the YouTube streaming community and his love-hate relationship with Helika and that pretty much is a timeline of what's been going on with him. Now he's back to saying he's got to get some job so we can make some money to fund his return to Cambodia. Wonder what his goals of going to Cambodia will be again this time? He's kind of implied he's going to redirect his channels Focus to be in line with a world Traveler theme like as if he's going to compete with Kurt Caz or something. I think he neglects to realize one of the main draws of Kurt's audience is his hot as fuck looks. Ol' Jimi and his big ol' beer gut, balding pate and rough and tumble 50-something looks just don't cut it.
