And his parents, they aren't happy with the fact that he still lives at home and that he spends all his time on YouTube.

And unfortunately, Randy's YouTube channel isn't successful enough to earn income.

So Randy's dad comes and tells him, you got to get a job so that you can start your own life and move out.

And this pisses Randy off.

I mean, he doesn't want to have to make his own money or like move out ever.

So reluctantly, he gets a job at a local supermarket, like stocking shelves and cleaning aisles and stuff.

And he absolutely hates this job.

And over time, he starts to become resentful, hating everyone around him who works there.

And he starts writing in his journal about how he hates everyone at his job and how it's not fair that everyone makes him feel so insignificant when clearly he's superior.

He also writes how he doesn't like gay people or black people and how he hates his dad for making him get a job.

The dude has a lot of misplaced anger.

And so years go by, and it's now 2013, and Randy still works at the supermarket, and he still hates it there, and he still is trying to make it big on YouTube.

And around this time, he gets deep into watching this Nickelodeon cartoon, Danny Phantom.

You know, the cartoon about a boy who's a human-ghost hybrid.

But that is when he notices this one character, Ember McClain, a ghost girl.

And Randy, he becomes obsessed with Ember McClain.

In fact, he becomes so infatuated with her and with the whole ghost world that he shifts his entire YouTube channel's content over.

So now he's making much darker videos.

And he starts creating an animated series himself called Ember's Ghost Squad.

It's basically a Danny Phantom fan project about a squad of ghost girls who kill humans.
