In the down time between videos I decided to read through the Gilchrist leaked emails that were posted a while back thread. Not the entire thing but I used the search page function for certain names. Here are my cliffnotes.

I can see why Mike fucking hates Gilchrist now. Every fucking email is a long winded philosophical rant. Dude is exhausting and unrelenting. The emails he saved were from late 02 to late 03, right in the middle of the Mike and Jay feud. Gilchrist feels he is in the middle having to choose sides and wanted to choose Mike but Mike "pushed him away" so he sided with Jay. But he clearly plays both sides throughout his various email exchanges with Mike, Jay, and Lisa Renley. He seemed oddly obsessed with Mike and kept pestering the fuck out of him in a "I won't let you do this to yourself" annoying ex girlfriend kind of way. He complains at length about Mike ignoring him and how he keeps messaging Mike on AIM and getting little to no response. Says things like "I love you" to him which is fucking weird.

Exchanges between him and Lisa completely confirm the guys had a falling out over her. Jay was a virgin and I think also had never had a relationship or something and Gilchrist philosophizes his obsession with Lisa was from getting older and panicking about not being with someone and latching onto Lisa because he spent a lot of time editing her in private which can cause such feelings? Anyway Jay sounds absolutely love sick and insane during this period, which Jay somewhat admits in convos with Gilchrist.

Lisa is an absolute doll through this whole thing. Feels genuine remorse for hurting Jay and was trying her best to get the guys to be friends again because she felt they were good together. Lisa is the key to all of this. Is genuinely nice to Gilchrist and vents to him. Lisa admits she was absolutely in love with Mike and admired him. I'm sure this drove Jay insane, having crazy feels for Lisa for a while and then having dick swinging alpha Mike take her away no problem. But it seems like their falling out lasted longer then the actual Mike/Lisa relationship.

Mike moves away to Arizona to get a fresh start away from Jay and Lisa in March 03 confirmed. (The shrine thing is a joke from an earlier convo)

Lisa seemed sad about it. Mike claims Gorilla Interrupted will be finished only for him and refuses to let anyone including Gilchrist see it. More alpha dick swinging. Gilchrist is big mad over Mike's taunting. But Mike still goes to LA to hang out at some get together from the movie forum they all frequent so it's like he just likes hating on Gilchrist but not enough to not throw him a bone every now and then. Mike mentions wanting to make up with Jay despite shit talking him at every opportunity but Jay is still big mad about Lisa.

I'm dying Lauren also confirmed.

Rich Evans' mom dies and Lisa and Gilchrist talk about it. Gilchrist has this to say about Rich's upbringing and it's a little horrifying, but Rich confirmed for God tier human.

Idk I think that was most of the good bits.

I'm sorry, but I'm very lost, here. Who's Gilchrist and Lisa, how did his emails get leaked, and...well, what's even happening with this? I'm reading both your post and the screencaps you have, and it feels like I'm reading nonsense.

Rich confirmed for alt-right!

No wonder this nazi incel board loves him so much.

Edit: If you wonder what Jay is saying backwards: "We all bow to our Disney overlords. Hail the mouse - hail the mouse"

This is all real old RLM lore, nothing new it has been talked about to death but I haven't seen the emails talked about much. He had this section of emails and no others saved as a text file on a technically visible section of his old website because he's an idiot. Gilchrist is someone that worked with Mike, Jay, and Rich back around 2003 on a movie called Gorilla Interrupted and some of their various shorts. They met on an amature movie forum. If you want to know more Gorilla Interrupted lore Mike put out a small documentary about the making of, it's on daily motion

Anyway in 2013 I think it was /tv/ that found Gilchrist streaming and asked him about his time with the guys and he went off on a tangent. It was detailed in this graphic, a lot of which was confirmed by the email leak. Mike and Jay stopped being friends for a while because of a girl named Lisa who is in Gorilla I think and some of Jays stuff. She can also be seen in this video of Garretts along with the guys. She is the woman in the thumbnail.

As for Nerd Crew that was a great episode and literally gave me a little dread about the future of streaming. It's getting too fractured and everyone wants a piece of the pie. Scary thought about having a basic needs streaming service like some dystopiain nightmare. Fucking lol at the idea of a general mills streaming service though. I gotta wonder if they were trying to be funny listing both Time Warner Cable and Spectrum because TWC became Spectrum they aren't separate companies. Also wondering if Mike bleeped calling Jay a retard because he felt he needed to or it was just funnier that way. I hate the thought of them bowing to the PC crowd.

Didn't know there were emails, I knew Rich's parents were drug addicts didn't think it was that bad. Gilchrist is a creepy little man no wonder they left him behind. Poor incels Jay, there's footage of when they first met and Jay is dressed like a limp bizkit wannabe very early 2000s look, all it took was a beard a decent haircut and now he's a middleage Chad. Good for them, a dream job working with your best friends in a rundown warehouses in the Midwest fighting off the alcohol withdrawals.

I rewatched older half in the bags this week's and they said it unbleeped, the PC crowd already hates them and they know it they just mentioned it in the latest nerd crew with the alt-right joke. Probably more to do with YouTube overzealous family friendly policy. The R word seems to cross political lines and piss off easily offended people no matter their political leanings.

There are aspects to the Nerd Crew that are just so fucking dark. There are bits of it that almost look like they belong in a Samuel Beckett play. A take on 3 middle aged men that have wasted their lives by mistaking corporate brands for social movements.

On the other hand you don't need to watch the videos that way you can just enjoy the send up of Disney podcasting shills.

Actually since they started the Nerd Crew other YouTubers such as Jenny Nicholson (who does good content but has sold herself to Disney) have started to be more restrained in their Shilling.

I swear half of the reason the Nerd Crew continues to exist isn't to mock mainstream "nerd" culture, but for Mike to flex his comedy editing skills.
 
Underappreciated joke: using pictures of Kirk Douglas for every celebrity over 25 or so.
 
"today's episode is sponsored by lootcrate"

and that's soda coming out of my nose

edit:
oh and if you're wondering what jay is saying backwards 12 minutes in or so
we all bow to our disney overlords. hail the mouse. hail the mouse

It wouldn't be in character for RLM to bleep it, BUT it would be in character for the nerd crew to do that.

The scary thing is that this barely qualifies as a parody anymore. Every joke they made about countless streaming services and Disney buying up everything in sight is totally believable.

That's always the worst part of watching these; half the shit they mention is real and the other is an utter crock, but it's usually the stupider shit that turns out to be hand-to-god genuine.

I had to actually look it up to confirm the Warner Archives streaming service was real. Halfway through the bit I was certain they were joking but that's a real thing that existed.

can't wait for the day where each individual movie and episode of a TV show requires it's own 60 bucks a month streaming service

edit: that being said i will be renewing my subscription to Wiseau +
