TLDR: There was a rumor that burr and Billy Corgan of the smashing pumpkins were lost half brothers and Howie Mandell recently brought them together without Burr being made aware ahead of time and it seemed to annoy them both. He’s since made an apology
I stan this theory, I can see the fanfic of Bill being the jaded older brother but Coop is just so sweet and pure that it inspires him to be the chaotic good he became.
I’ve met him irl, he’s local to me, and he’s every bit as nice and generous as his videos make him out to be. He was super nice to my daughter and just cool in general.
That's so refreshing to hear from someone irl. Unfortunately, I've heard more bad experiences than good ones, from local people who know some other "influencers". 💀
I don't play pokemon anymore, and I never really collected, but any time his videos get suggested to me I watch them. He really does the heart good. It's nice seeing people as kind and generous still roaming the world and spreading positivity
I dont even collect cards but follow him on YouTube, the amount of donations he gets, and people that straight up just buy cards for people is a lot, probably the most donations you'll ever see in a comment chain. It's genuinely probably one of the most wholesome channels on YouTube, it's just full of love for people, and for the hobby. Coop is amazing and deserves the absolute best. All he does is give give give, and he loves to share this hobby with people. He's absolutely amazing. Fuck the scalpers, wish people were more like him
Yeah, I don't even watch other content creators, they are just going for the rush of pulling a good card, Coop tries to be a good person with everyone and is mostly interested in giving kids a good time.

Coop is the best, I follow him on Tiktok and watch all his videos because they are so wholesome!
