My New Favorite YouTube Show: Bad Boy
Slight tangent today.
I've discovered something thousands of people knew about before me. A YouTube series called Bad Boy that's been around since 2018, updating occasionally now. Why am I sharing this? Because it's my new favorite thing in the world. I think it would appeal to people who like the fun and lighter Cave stories. The story is tight, the humor absurd and I love Scott, the lead character. Like all great sitcoms, the side characters make the show.
It's basically a series centered on a writer who gets embroiled with members of the wacky Jomas family.
- YouTube: Artie O'Daly
- Bad Boy Season 1: A Five-Hour Compilation
- If you want to watch episodically: Bad Boy Episode 1
- My favorite character: The Best of Jim
Bad Boy started seven years ago and there are currently 35 episodes and they're slow to come out. However, Season One is done and forms a surprisingly coherent and engrossing 27-episode narrative ending on a really high note that wraps up almost everything before it. And the post-credits scene of the episode 28 holiday special has Santa Chuck (he brings you what you didn't get from Santa Claus but you have to stay in his van for 30-minutes with your pants off).
If you're looking for something fun, I highly recommend it.

CLAW 17: Gay Wrestling Weekend (Pt. 4 of 5)
“Nope. Nope. Nope. Can’t do it. I’m going back upstairs.”
I sigh. It was a struggle just to get my tag partner and best friend Taylor down here. I’m not letting him flee. I grab his wrist, “Stay here with me. I can’t do this alone.”
Tay whines, “Why are you making me do this? Why are we even here?”

CLAW 16: Gay Wrestling Weekend (Pt. 3 of 5)
I nod, “Thanks. I hope to.” I pat the gold title belt around my waist, “With any luck, I’ll have two of these when I leave Monday morning.”
I sling my duffel bag over my shoulder. To get to my room, I need to cross the huge center area where the weekend’s wrestling action will take place. I pause and breathe. I’ve been wrestling for 15 years but I still get anxious before a big match. Being the East Texas Pro Wrestling heavyweight champion isn’t a big deal in the wrestling world but it gives me a title to show I’m legit.
Again.

CLAW 15: Gay Wrestling Weekend (Pt. 2 of 5)
“Crawl, boy.”
Hi, I’m Taylor. That was an order to me. I obediently reply, “Yes, Sir.”

CLAW 14: Gay Wrestling Weekend (Pt. 1 of 5)
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
“MAINTENANCE!”
I come out of the bedroom to see my friend, tag team partner, and ex-boyfriend opening the door for a tall, hunky mountain of a man. Middle Eastern. Olive skin. Dark hair. Beard, He’s gotta be 6’5”, like 250-lbs with broad, strong shoulders and sculpted, muscular arms. His green work tee with the hotel logo printed over his left pec isn’t just tight. It looks painted on.
Woof.
