Is McJuggerNuggets PREGNANT Again?! youtu.be/1yv35dkERmA?is=0AiA…

Had a blast celebrating my 34th birthday in AC over the last few weeks with the old ball & chain and doggos. Also, celebrated Mason’s 12th birthday AND my Mom’s 64th Birthday. CRAZY. Went to go big baller with $20k at Caesar’s one night and they kicked us out of the high-limit Blackjack room because we were wearing N95’s. Dumb af. Stay huffing your cigarette smoke and viruses, I’ll keep my money 🤷🏼 Time to head to PA and hibernate. VLOG COMING SOON

Happy FIRST Anniversary to my soulmate! ❤️ One year married to my very best friend. Growing up, married couples outside of my parents made me think it was miserable and hard…Turns out it was just them. Being with you has only made life easier and more fulfilling. ❤️‍🔥

Covid-19 is surging across the US right now. I’ve been inundated on social media lately with nasty stories from people sick for WEEKS with fatigue, razor blade throat, headaches, lingering cough, etc You may be super healthy, fit or believe in conspiracies like that “it’s just a cold”…but trust me Covid can and will fuck your life up. I was healthier than most and I’m still dealing with consequences from a Covid infection in 2023. Needless to say, please heed caution…N95 masks are super effective. You do not want to end up like me because you thought “meh, no big deal.”

this is the first time in many years that i was able to handle daily uploads, all one-take - screaming & ripping off my clothes during peak rpm’s… ONLY WAY TO GO VIRAL, BABY! 🤪💦

All the love and support on my latest video means everything. I had never done a proper sit-down video explaining our perspective regarding the pregnancy decision and the backlash online. It felt extremely cathartic to get it all off of my chest and to call out the hypocrites and assholes that deserve it. Thank you for continually having my back, this has all proven who the real ones are. And I couldn’t be more grateful for the compassion and understanding. This was our last time addressing this whole situation in detail. We’re excited to move on with our lives and focus on our future. No doubt there will be lingering shitheads still trying to weaponize this stuff, but a swift block always does the trick. Float and sputter. We will always continue to share our family’s lives as we feel it’s important to connect & relate to people, especially when going through hardship. It’s clear that our world and humanity has more healing to do, I know it’s hard to be empathetic online, but I would encourage everyone to just try a little harder. My Grandmom always used to say, “treat others how you would want to be treated.” If we all strived for that, we may just get exactly what we want. Love you guys. Ya’ll will always be family to me. ❤️

Imagine that instead of reaching out to your daughter during the hardest time of her life, you log 40 hours into PUBG.

10 Years Later… (THE HARVEST)

I’m sorry I haven’t provided any videos for you guys. Admittedly, my wife and I have been laying low in a depressive funk. Our pregnancy journey was overwhelming in of itself, but the spectacle that it became in the end was quite miserable. In the off-time, Ashley and I have been gaming together. It has been a nice escape killing zombies in Left 4 Dead 2 versus, but even there that shit would get disrupted. Random anonymous users asking about my Down Syndrome child…calling us n-words and spamming “baby killer”. Eventually, it makes you want to stop playing and reflect on what the fuck is wrong with people. Simultaneous to that, one of my biggest driving forces in telling stories on Youtube has been to try and help people…so when those same people turn around and make you out to be a villain…it is incredibly demotivating. It reminds me of StoryFire shutting down and everyone dogpiling saying I was a scammer and shit despite pouring so much time, energy and money into building a platform for creators. It’s like…”why bother?” at that point. You could be one of the greatest minds and philanthropists of our time and there will still be people that hate you and want you to fail. I could point to any influential figure who is trying their damndest to help the world and there will be a large subset of people standing idly by who still think you’re a piece of shit. Literally NO MATTER WHAT. It’s a systemic issue within, it’s bitterness like a poison that gets projected outwards to those striving for more. Hateful and pathetic. It needs to be exorcised, but not in the easy low-effort way of replies or talking shit. Go do something to better your life. For so long, I’ve used characters as my vehicle to convey messages. I like the feeling of jumping into somebody else’s shoes, but it also creates a convenient shield from criticism. “That wasn’t me, that was Jesse Ridgway, the character.” HUH?! So the times in which my real life has become the subject of controversy, it hits incredibly different. Or…at least it used to. I would love to still be McJuggerNuggets for you guys and act as some different characters, but I feel like my real-life character is strong enough now to not need them anymore. My real-life story is just as poignant, I guess I just never really saw it as such. It’s one that I would like to see flourish more and not be diluted by pretending to be something I’m not just for views or to be liked by all. Not interested in being a “pander bear.” I’ve always prided myself on trying to be friendly with everyone and be respectful…even when I don’t receive it in return, but holy shit at a certain point you do have to cut bait and stand for more. I’m going mask-off while still wearing my mask. 😷 I’m getting better at that. For the last couple months, I’ve ignored and declined tons of interview requests because I wanted to move on with my life. Fight-or-flight is consistently in overdrive...but I’m fitting to change that. Lately, it has always been flight. Much of my life, it has been flight. Not anymore. I grappled with what is actually the best approach to this social media game. Or what do I want for my life…more social media drama? To be honest…most days I become apathetic because of the way people conduct themselves online and just how the world feels anymore. It’s an uphill battle. But I realize that is not when you should hide…that is when you should try harder. I’ve tied so much of my value/identity to the series on my Youtube channel…the views…money…etc. What can I do for my audience if I’m not creating videos? I finally clarified the answer. It is anything I can. Just being a positive, supportive voice. An empathetic one. It all matters. Just even seeing the idiotic replies on my Facebook page, state of our country or the toxicity of people in general, it has become INCREASING CLEAR, that the WORLD IS IN DESPERATE NEED OF MORE SMART, EMPATHETIC AND VOCAL HUMANS.

Seeing clips from Anthony Fauci’s hearing yesterday makes me sick… Fauci has worked as a public servant for over 50 years, advising SEVEN different presidents. He helped us navigate through so many infectious disease outbreaks from HIV/AIDS, Ebola, SARS, Swine Flu, and COVID. This guidance helped saved millions of lives and yet he is somehow one of the most vilified people in America. Senators downright attacking him…trying to get him behind bars…it’s absolutely ridiculous. I swear we’re living in some upside-down ass world these days.
