Why are there so many volumes six! Was that just like the worst volume that didn't sell so they sent a truck load to Nathen?

I’m betting he bought the cheapest books he could find on EBay so he can “donate” then for (in his mind) social media clout

That's what happens when you ask publishers / distributors for free remaindered books. Nathen is shifting unsellable garbage from one warehouse into another (and possibly into the same one, depending on who owns these bookstores).

Anyway, as has been said before, donating to shops rather than libraries is peak hustle-mentality brain

"Hey Boss, remember how you complained that none of our Garfield books were moving?

"Yeah.."

"Remember how happy you were when we sold off all our Garfield books to that one collector and freed up all that shelf space?"

"Yeah.. " (Boss's eyes begin to narrow)

"Well, some nut just dropped off a few cases of Garfield Volume 6, the one we couldn't get rid of even though Jim Davis himself signed each copy.. ya want me to clear off that shelf ag-- ACGGHHACCKACKACK ** strangulation noises **"

I'm transcribing bits and pieces of this because it's absolutely insane and needs to be documented but I'm going to warn you that 99% of it is word salad and I have literally no idea what message Nathen is attempting to convey. This is less offensive than the "podcast" but no less bizarre. I'm not going to transcribe 100% of it because these videos are like 11+ minutes long a piece and consist of Nathen just babbling away like it's his job.

So what I'm gathering is Nathen's newest drug fueled binge idea divinely inspired revelation is he's going to become an avant garde mixed media artist that seeks to capture your imagination and make you seriously think about how fake the clean label industry actually is through the use of artwork, possibly acrylic and cereal boxes. He's going to have an art show in Toronto and you're all invited!

Please note that all typos are intentional. The same weird uplifting, new-agey music plays in the background through all of these as far as I can tell:

Video 1:

"It's been almost a year since I disconnected from social media"
(posted to instagram)
"...and I left behind toxicity of humanity. I found my calling with a higher power, and honestly, I met my prophet who enlighted me in my dreams. I woke up with so much tears, crying like a big baby from the deep end of my heart. I felt so much light, happiness, joy - what one man in one minute did filled me with just sheer joy and completely shifted my perspective on life. I don't expect people to understand what has been happening to me"
(boy howdy, we do not)
"...but the truth has been revealed to me. My journey as a Muslim has been about revisiting myself as a pure human before all my sins. I needed to ask myself, 'Who was I really? What did I love?'

Ok so 11:11 was the title of this and not the length of the video. Thank god.

Video 2:

"All of my hobbies other than nightlife sex and money. What happened to me at 19 years old. I lost myself to find myself. For the past 6 months I have returned to what I love; (Nathen chuckles) cereal boxes and coloring (:psyduck:). I want to raise awareness about the big lie that we live in, and especially what we put in our bodies in the morning. My art symbolizes clean labeling ingredients and I've always loved repurposing things. Just look at what I did with GarfieldEats pizza boxes. I turned them into comic strips and plates. I want to invite you all to my gallery where the new me will meet you, greet you and have so much fun. I missed you all but I really needed this time away. Hollywood licensing really affected me (???) and there's so much you just don't know. I can't wait to tell you all soon. One gallery at a time"

Proposed thread title:
GarfieldEats: I have returned to what I love; cereal boxes and coloring.

Video 3
(Nice illuminati eye picture to begin this one)

"The devil is in the details. Let's talk about processed food for profiteering. There exists a gap in people's perception creating confusion, misinformation and distrust in what's really in our food. The clean label movement has saturated industries, sweeping in at the tail-end of related trends such as organic, non-GMO and all-natural derived by American lies and greed. See, I've always been a clean label activist. Since GarfieldEats and Scooby Doo Eats which was the heart of my purpose starting farm to plate. This time I invite you to step inside the enchanting world of NathenEats (oh no. OH NO) employing nostalgic medium and my favorite packaging as a child; cereal boxes and paint. The first Kellog series - transforming them into a purposeful work of art where the childhood in everyone is set free"

(1. This is somehow America's fault. 2. Nathen is about to do some more copyright infringement)

Video 4
(where things go completely off the rails. Video beings with a really disturbing/gross close-up shot of someone eating cereal.)

"Processed food is meant to be played with, not to be eaten. NathenEats will evoke a sense of wonder through reminding us of the joy and innocence that reside within us all but stolen. Food industry is one of them, then comes the movie industry and many others. Don't worry, I will tackle one by one to clean up your consciousness and become woke...in my spare time"

(Nathen has gone insane. Again.)

It feels like Nathen got tired of using Nathfield as his expy and just moved into the savior role himself. The ending of video 4 sounds like it was pulled straight from one of those Nathfield scripts. I gotta say though, Nathen's power of "redesigning cereal boxes to stick it to the man" is somewhat less impressive than Nathfield's orange suit that had telepathy and can banish pig trolls to hell or w/e.
