I was listening to Shut Up Weirdo and apparently there is a video of Spike on Youtube.

I want to preserve the aura of mystery around Spike for you because I kind of wished I hadn't seen it, although in some ways it made the whole persona make more sense to me. I'm not sayin' where the video is.

Do your homework, Luther!
Sometimes one's answers present kinda interesting non-logical goodies.
The answers always lie right before your eyes.

Fourth wall, dude.

Fourth wall, dude.
Check, Stan.
For all I know the video may be gone by now.

I couldn't help but look it up. It only took about 3 minutes, and I wouldn't say I regret it, but it raised more questions than it answered, and now I just feel voyeuristic and dirty.
-
Tom pointed out to him, weeks ago, that the board has a much smaller audience than the radio. Then he goes on the radio to mention it on S.U.W., he must on some level desire people to know about it.
-
It's not so much that I'm afraid of making him feel uncomfortable as it is that I can only dive so far into Spike before I get the heebie-jeebies.
-
I don't know what I want more, the mystique of Spike or The Spike Show in Truman Show-esque style.
-
Spike has an entire channel on YouTube, with some fairly interesting content.
-
I just saw the video. I don't think that's really Spike. But I'm sure Dillon Millford could tell us who that guy really is.
-
Wow, I didn't think it was him at first (thought he was imitating his voice) but he's certainly hitting all of Spike's expected talking points. I don't know, guys.

I visited the channel at home a while back. No youtube at work. Has he updated? Because all I remember is him lip syncing, a few rants where the audio doesn't sync with the video, and some doo-wop videos.

That's all i saw was him lip syncing too. Still wont believe it until i hear him talk.

For the record, I like Spike. It takes a lot of courage to stand out from the crowd.
But after watching the YouTube video of him talking, I still can't believe it's him. It's the Rick Astley/Tay Zonday effect, but in reverse; the dude looks like a retired football player with the voice of Capote. Way to fight the dominant paradigm, Spike!
-
Are you guys serious? Why on earth would you doubt that's him? He says "Jenny from the bedroom." Why would anyone ever impersonate Spike? Who the hell even knows who Spike is enough to impersonate him?
-
Thanks for all your clues! I successfully completed the "scavenger hunt"! So worth the journey.
-
I feel like I'm the only one who is just saddened by Spike. Could that be true?

Nope.

Yes, his calls are pretty sad. Spike is probably just a lonely guy. And calling The Best Show fills a void. A void that can't be filled with just Sims and Dungeons. Now that I've psychoanalysed Spike, any other FOT's want advice from a guy with Kiwi as a face :D
-
Which video does he talk in?

I knew a man just like Spike who was single and 40+ and lived with his mother. He ran a record store and collected dvd's. I'd go in and talk movies with him for hours. He'd let me borrow like 10 a week. He had over 2,000 and he knew everything about the rarest foreign film to the new disney feature. He died last year but when I knew him he was so happy with himself and his life's projectory. I assume Spike isn't too different. I love his calls and wish they lasted longer. He may come off as sort of creepy, but "na-na-na-na-na-na-na-nah" he's not.

So what's up with me? You're already on a roll, and I really need to know.

First you need to buy my 13 book series. You can me send some money to my PayPal account. And I'll make sure to send you the books. I really will send you the books...

Dave-- it's a trick. He's just pawning off his old Anthony Robbins motivational cassettes! Don't do it!!!
Spike, if you're out there, I will give you a hug. Free hugs to all FOTs (except for those who have touch sensory issues)!

He shared today that he spends 2 hours a day watching porn.
