Before blowing up on TikTok with over 5M followers, Scumbag Dad was just an ordinary guy - who almost made it on America's Got Talent with pirate rap songs and MasterChef with his Sichuan dan dan noodles.
But he was rejected because the shows were a bit staged. Now he's vowed revenge - and uses social media to expose hypocrisy in other creators & influencers.

was this a real podcast? or was this part of scumbag dad's larger secret content plans. did he in fact help me set up this entire channel and the 40+ other interviews on it with Graham Stephan, Elliot Choy, Alex Botez etc - just as SETUP for this interview??
we'll never know
Even if it wasn't, it was epic
What's with the subtitles? I speak fluid bogan and understood every word that man said!

I like how he calls out “Kindness content” for exactly what it is.
Yea he’s very savvy and willing to criticize other creators who he thinks are exploiting the algorithm!
Great interview
Meanness content

That's why I love scumbag dad
This podcast took my faith in humanity, doubled it and gave it to the next person.
This podcast took my double cancer and gave a $1000 sloppy toppy with a twist to the next homeless guy on the house
This podcast truly said "I've got a bullet for you" to my depression and nihilism
In my case, it doubled my faith in this guy ❤
It also gave it to me
We need a giant 5 hour directors cut of the SD show including the true vision he intended to create.
The kid was eventually going to get to know who the mom was and that they had siblings, all but one of whom died cause of their parents’ lifestyle. Scumbag Dad’s initial ignorance of the kid was him actively trying to avoid giving the MC the same fate. However history repeats itself and sbd uses the kid to build a criminal empire. When the interests of dad, mom, and the kid start to clash, the kid starts to kill off main characters and we realize how damaging a paradoxical relationship can be. The end of the show happens when you realize that it would have been better for SBD to have stayed away in the first place.
Parasocial. Not paradoxical.
Holy shit, you actually responded! You are the only reason why I watch CZcams shorts. I love this idea.
Scumbag Dad is a borderline masterpiece and I’ve watched so much films (Herzog, Bergman, Tarr, Fellini) absolutely love what you do sir!
@@scumbagdadthis made my day to be able to read. Ive loved the series and the comedy genius that you continue to put out. I can only hope we see an end in video form
SD is the best example of someone who didnt blow up on accident. he studied popular content and understood what made it popular. He knows he can grow more if he "sold his soul" but he is doing what hes truly passionate about. I have mad respect for that
"They arnt people anymore, theyre just props."
"You hired them as an actor in a play they didnt want to be in."
Solid quotes.
Thx for the shout out
lol
SBD is the one person who made me realize the “Mr Beast” effect is more so a big profit scheme, and people who do it can just hide behind the fact they do charity content if they’re called out. But let’s be honest, they’re making bank, they might not flex it, but we all know they make more money than the homeless person behind it. SBD is the virtual supervillain we need.
I think that's why Mr Beast has moved away from that content and more towards reality TV style challenges
@@Muhlurito be fair, mr beast DOES donate millions
@@asdfghjkl0583and it all just circles back to him
Although I agree, Mr. Beast is on a whole other level on donating. Even though he rakes in more than we can fathom, he donates more than any other “kindness content” creator has ever done so while being way less controversial about it too
And his Watch Collection is CRAAAZY!
⌚️
There were three youtubers i was watching and didnt realize they were all scumbagdad. I fucking love this guy.
Amazing interview, you picked a fantastic guest to come on too. Always cool to see Scumbag Dad be himself considering he’s so damn interesting
One of my favorite podcast episodes of all time 💪
Last person I'd expect to see here... love your videos and i'm glad to see you have such good taste!
thank you for watching man! I've seen your content too- if you're ever in LA, DM me on IG (I'm @erictway, the cofounder of @trykarat) and would love to host you / maybe we shoot a pod together also
So this is the source of the sigma clips
We filmed another pod together too which we haven’t released 😉
53:15 hes saying the absolute truth of social media right here. so many people love to be a safe distance from these situations and feel good about themselves, even though irl they would pass others by or avoid the bad areas just to keep worse off people away
Scumbag dad has been my favorite TikTok creator since the pandemic. I was watching his content towards the end of 2021 and in mid 2022 i deleted TikTok because I don't trust companies from China due to a lot of the shit the Chinese government pulls. But i subscribed to his CZcams channel not long after and he's been one of the only creators that i actually agree with as far as message goes. He points his middle finger at bad people trying to look good through kind deeds that aren't even real and are staged for the camera. It's something I can applaud because I used to do the exact same thing on my old CZcams channel before i got locked out of it. I'm glad someone is willing to call out the bs and hide behind satire to do it. Even if it's done out of spite, it's still being done.
Your data is already being recorded, collected, and sold. So unfortunately dodging China doesn't dodge your subjugation of systems that are outside of your control and input. Chinese fear comes off as either half-baked xenophobia, or showing your power level out in the open if you're worse than that.
Really sticking it to China there bud
@@SebuKaz no I'm saying I don't trust Chinese companies. I have nothing against Chinese people.
Can’t see how china recovers from this tbh
@@SebuKazthank u bro... u should try it sometime
You’ve got brains man and I’m glad you use em to pin social media atrocities and spread awareness for the unaware, I’ll have to have a listen to more of your music, most likely the sh*roosting stuff lol
I don’t watch podcasts but I saw a few clips of this on SD’s channel and looked it up. Learning more about the motives behind his content is eye opening and the disillusionment from the breakdown of the content I’m used to seeing is definitely a breath of fresh air from turning off my brain and scrolling short form content.
Seems like a really intelligent and well spoken guy, glad someone’s fighting the good fight against TikTok
I love how intresting this mans backstory too I could sit here for hours hes that good at speaking! I had fun watching you both
I immediately recognized the pirate band from agt, me and mom were rooting for you the whole time and we never understood how they didnt win, because they had a much better format to go and make a vegas show out of it.
that was one of the most enjoyable podcasts I've ever listened to
Thank you!
You can tell ScumbagDad is a real artist from this interview. He’s incredibly smart and well spoken here. He knows what he’s talking about and not just spewing out garbage like a lot of other influencers in this day and age. I’ve been following him for a few years now and have always enjoyed his content, but hearing him speak on what he does and why and how he articulates his views makes me respect him on a new level. Keep up the great work, dad!
I actually enjoyed hearing a satire comedian talk serious. Especially being a tiktok creator it feels good to actually see the creators true self. I understand him more and his message more clearly.
Great interview. Go Brad! I love the straight up orthodontist content he posts too. Smart dude. Great interviewer skills too
When I found scumbag dad it was when he started making the SD series. Ive loved watching his content expand and It is great to hear from the man behind the character/account
even now I don't know if he's serious or ironic
Sarcastic*
@@figgeriksson8538all sarcasm can be considered irony
@@figgeriksson8538 ironic is the correct word.
I discovered this man like 2 days ago and at first glimpse i though "more of this sh*t?" Then realised it was satire and i thought, hang on this is different. Now im watching all the content lol.
Im so glad someone is interviewing scumbag dad! His content is like none other and i want more people to see it! Thank you to this channel! 🙏🏼
I love the interview, but good Lord those burps were gross lol
I feel lucky and honoured to have listened to both of your podcasts with Scumbag Dad. 2 awesome, talented and genuine guys
scumbag dad continues to be one of the only people in the influencer space that I respect
This is criminally under-viewed. Good stuff 👍🏻
Great pod dudes!
love this dude, one of my fav content creators on CZcams, I watch all his shorts.
one of the main differences between Brad and other people who things and try to claim moral intent is Brad is very consistent and articulate about what he feels is wrong with an issue and how he addresses it.
I need an angel villain origin story
Who
@@scumbagdadthe man in the blue masterchef uniform is getting a little agressive
@@scumbagdadI had no idea that this mfer is not verified like bro wtf
Hey, I got a bullet for you!
Google “Lucifer”
I'm so glad you interviewed scumbagdad
Me too!!
this is the first time I’ve been able to see him actually talk for more than 10 seconds, and I think his longform continent is it way better than his short form I like his skits but I think his explanation of the space is much more entertaining, and he really dives into the nuances of the social media videos. I feel like this is the start of something much bigger.
really great interview, all I can say is know your limits, meta irony is the definition of "completely crazy" for most people.
Nobody talking about this, incredible interview!
29:41 I'm liking the sound of this Diogenes guy
One of My favorites. Super creative and very very funny. Referencing lots of other vids/trends, huge casts and ongoing storylines, his vids really are quite brilliant.
At the heart of each of his successes is a revenge story. I love it.
A lot of creative, explosive energy hidden behind that moustache! 💣
New to the show, absolutely Love the host. So refreshing to have a thoughtful and intelligent interviewer.
Thank you for watching!
I absolutely LOVE how Scumbag Dad is calling out all these BS creators that make make their living of of deception. Time to take out Mr Beast too lol
why take out Mr.Beast though?
Bro mr beast did nothing wrong
@@Goldenduck409 dude does "kindnes" for clicks, people are props
@@adrianmilian4273Jimmy himself ain't that bad, but the brand he has created is very deceptive, even if he doesn't intend it that way. Just because you like the content doesn't mean he's innocent of deception and manipulation.
@@paladinmaguireofbos3347please give some examples
This video needs more attention! Great interviewer and guest, the conversation was very passionate and went by to fast!
Thank you! We’re releasing another one with Scumbag Dad soon 😉
Came from seeing a clip on tiktok lmao, watched the whole thing, absolutely amazing podast
by far the most interesting podcast ep. I have listened to in a while!
Awww thank you!!
this is the definition of productive revenge and this man is a genius for it.
Why does this video have only almost 1000 likes? This video is amazing!!!
39:50 Yessss, lawn mowing kindness is the good kindness content. Im glad that got brought up, its just a net good exchange
This wasnt even an interview this was just a full on philosophical discourse on whether or not the new generation is going to understand anything that real life actually amounts to, about their actions and consequences and their expectations and more importantly their world view. I had internet when i was about 10 but we didnt have phones or access to these new apps that are detremental to peoples kids. Autism has gone absolutely mental in the past 6 years. Everyone i talk to says their kid is autistic. I dunno wtf is happening but these two dudes seem to understand we might be fucked
This was an absolute stellar intervie.
those are truly some dad level burps
I thought this was a fake podcast making fun of fake podcasts. This being unironic is amazing.
0:10
That's such a scary cut. I'm glad the message was preserved.
Yep! Even if we do edits we try to ensure the original meaning is conveyed properly
wow this man is as awesome as his scumbag dad character. what an intelligent, well-grounded dude using comedy to shine a light on the hierocracy of a lot of creators. This only made me adore scumbag dad and the man behind him even more. Thank you for this!
Great podcast all around. Scumbag Dad has been a hero of mine for a while. Kind of apropos that he started his career as a "pirate", and now takes the tropes of the platform to repurpose them against the proverbial ruling class.
This is a good philosophical discussion on content creators
thanks dad
I love that the ad before this video started off with "CZcams CREATORS ARE MAKING OVER A MILLION DOLLARS BY FOLLOWING THESE EASY STEPS"
LOL didn’t realize that and sadly don’t have control over the Adsense ads
@@trykarat No it honestly made me laugh out loud 😂
great podcast that deserve more views
Thanks for a video. Enjoyed watching it! Beat of luck to all of you.
But i have a question though. You guys were saying that there is a problem of showing people don’t like to be filmed on camera to be put on tiktoks or whatever is that you becoming same as people who do that without a consent etc and you can not do this with an actors. Why?
You said that actors can not outperform the real stuff, but this is what they actually do. That is one of things, why this profession exists. Don’t see any contraversary with hiring actors for this particular thing.
Dude doing gods work so the devil is trying to delete him usually bs
I said that the other day that like "If Scumbag dad goes after SB Mowing I'll be super sad".
Been waiting to hear this man speak .
Bro....I was starting to sour on scumbag dad but now that I know the origin story...I am forever behind him!!!!! I am concerned that "scumbag" dad comes up into my algorithm being that I am a father too ........I am a real life scumbag dad and do not know it!!!!!! ?????? Oh the shock and shame.
I think you might have to add a 0:00 timestamp for chapters to appear in the timeline ? Not sure but can't see them on my PC
Also fire tiktokker and fire youtube interviewer makes for a banger collab :D love this episode
It's so weird to see him like this
He is always like this lmao...
People like Scumbad Dad give me hope coz someone else feels how I feel
47:51 - I feel this feeling at least once a day half of the time, and it's so defeating.
But I'm glad other people are aware of it and are trying to impact it, because my biggest issue is not knowing how I can impact the situation.
Usually I try my best to do is at least the little I can and make personal impacts on people around me, and help them think more about how their actions impact people outside themselves, and think about morality more complexly than more clearly defined structures like legality etc
I kinda like that he lists tall in his list of accomplishments
Reminds me of one of my favorite quotes funny enough it’s from MIB. “The person is smart. People are dumb, panicky animals.”
7:38 this guy just burped and kept talking like nothing mattered lmao
Rick and Morty vibes
7:35 Rick Sanchez leveled up from "Pickle Rick" to "Scumbag Rick" 😂😂😂💀
Ive watched all this guy's videos after i saw a couple and they were elevated intelligence compared to the typical stuff here. So that made me curious. The orthodontia plus the meta content was interesting. Now i understand why after seeing this interview. Im a fan now. Im 42 yrs old. I like this critique on what's happening on social media.
Am I not getting synrh ratted here?
I did not know either Karat nor Brad before this.. But I really liked the interview and what Brad had to say.
I hope his praxis goes smoothly and he does not (have to?!) give in to the urge to just repost everything with subway surfer clips attached.
Two things:
1. Any reason for doing your own subtitles instead of using youtubes feature? (It felt a bit distracting to me and (I'm in no way an expert on this so don't take my word for it but) I think CZcams's subtitles are probably generally more accessible as they can be adjusted in size/contrast etc.)
2. What is he wearing on the hand opposite of the watch from his wife? I'm honestly curious as it looks to me like something I'd attach to a bike lol
Thanks for the feedback! I’ve stopped adding our own subtitles going forward
Innerraum bracelet
I haven't heard of this podcast, but I love scumbagdad, time to take a listen...
EDIT: good episode will have to keep an eye on this podcast
Thank you!! I interview a ton of different types of creators- from Twitch streamers to entrepreneurs to CZcamsrs etc- anyone you’d want to see on next?
14:28 he says "please like" and the button lights up lol
Hes a fucking chef? As a fine dining chef of 10 years this made me love him even more 😱
But at end of day these degens are getting paid and thats all that matter to them
Degen red flag
Criminal how this only has 34k views.
It’s insane that this is both an interview and a parody
I like this side of view on his thoughts.
Love the shoutout to Andrew Rousso!
I haven't watched many of his videos but this podcast has shown that he's a great guy
Thank you for watching anyways ☺️
This comment will probably get buried, but I was also on Americas got talent and made it to the quarter finals for stand up comedy. It honestly didn’t do anything for my career & im kind of embarrassed by the whole thing. I always thought it was so weird when people just held onto that sort of thing so I totally understand where he’s coming from when he talks about looking back on it. Reality television is disgusting. They literally made me write jokes about New York the night before I performed live & then stuck a camera in my face and asked me if I could call my girlfriend to see if she still loved me because I had bombed so hard. I didn’t want to do those jokes. I wanted to do the ones I worked on and prepared for. The producers will pick a song for an artist and tell them to play it & then the judges just shit on then & ask them why they played that song. I became friends with one of the producers and he told me he went into a room & it had everyone from the shows head shot on the wall & the producers just pick from the beginning who will be the best fit to win it. It’s all staged bullshit. I’m glad this guy kept going & is getting successful. It definitely gives me hope!! Sorry to go on a diatribe!! Anyway good luck scum bag dad!!!
You just explained how the whole United States works not just social media we all are the big dummies
Wow a lot of good information here. Needs to be studied by those in this industry
Love how Scumbag dad mentioned the Lawn Mower dudes they are low key smart and honest at least
So interesting. I enjoyed this a lot!
I hope his own beer is also satire! Because a lot of influencers also try to make the new beer of the summer😂
I noticed that its not only him that gets banned on tik tok for spreading the truth. In a non political way. Some lady I follow was trying to spread love and education against racism, and was banned on tik tok once
People don't even care about being hypocrites anymore
This was great and completely agree with everything. The Dhar Mann, these kindness content. Heck I've even been wondering for a while if all those Karen videos are real or staged just to get views. Like maybe one person caught a legit person blowing up on someone and since then just people staging it for content. In all my years I have never ever seen people blow up like these Karen's do on these videos and I've worked 25 in customer service and I live in Florida where we have all kinds of crazy here.
King of the loop
This made me double a podcast and give it to another person
Very interesting!
