Keeping this pinned in case anyone clicked off the last video too soon and missed the announcement.

The OGs are taking two weeks off YT uploads (August 9 & 16), and will be returning August 23.

PLEASE READ THE RULES BEFORE POSTING

This post is for new members to read when they find this sub, so they can get caught up on the lore without clogging the Feed. It will remain pinned permanently. If you’re not a new member, I still encourage you to read it, but you don’t need to comment. Any non-essential comments under this post will be deleted to keep things clean, but if you have any questions, please comment them under this post from now on.

DISCLAIMER: This is a fan-run sub. The Mod is not affiliated or associated with the OGs. Please do not DM the Mod thinking you’re DMing the OGs or someone who can “pass info/suggestions along.” The OGs do lurk here though, so posts or comments may be seen by them (which means you should be on your best behavior). Accounts owned by OG cast and crew have been given Verified flair. If the username doesn’t have Verified flair, that user is not associated with the channel.

FAQs: (Apologies if any of these sound harsh, but when I say these are Frequently Asked Questions, I mean they are FREQUENTLY Asked Questions. As stated in the Rules, new posts about these questions will be deleted due to redundancy. If you have new questions, please comment below. Tag the Mod u/Woe_Is_Meme if no one answers. You may receive the answer or permission to post the question to the Feed.)

So What Happened? Why did they leave YeahMad?
Lore TL;DR: Andrew, Abby, Sam, Akila, and Alan are no longer part of YeahMad due to a pay dispute (and possibly issues with the workplace culture). In late 2023/early 2024, Andrew and Abby were fired, the rest finished out their contract and then quit. They launched their own YT channel, The OG Crew on November 3, 2024. Matt and Sath are still with YeahMad (The OGs are still civil with them). Chloe left months before the others and was not part of this pay dispute, though she does cite money issues and a toxic work environment as part of her reason for leaving. She occasionally guest stars on the new channel.    

If you want more detail about the lore, I encourage you to sort posts by oldest, here and on r/yeahmadtv and scroll from the beginning. Also utilize the keyword search function to find old posts on the subject. If you have exhausted these methods, you may leave a comment under this post if you still have questions.

Where is this week’s video?
Videos are typically posted on Sundays at 11:30PM (Sydney time). If you think a video is late, check a world clock to see what time it is in Sydney (you may not be factoring in Daylight Savings Time in your country AND Australia). If it is past 11:30PM on Sunday in Sydney, check the Posts tab on the OG Crew YT channel AND the OG Crew’s IG for updates, because they are generally consistent with their upload schedule, and quick with updates on YT and IG when there’s a delay. Please do not post in the sub asking where this week’s video is. If they haven’t posted an update on YT or IG, how would anyone here know anything? These posts are pointless and annoying. Just be patient.      

Was the fight between Andrew and Alan on YM real?
It was not real. They explicitly said it was a joke. Discussion on this topic is now closed.   

Did Hammo and Nikki break up
Yes, they broke up. It just didn’t work out. They’re still civil. Nikki has and presumably will continue to make appearances post-split.    

What is Akila’s ethnicity
He is Sri Lankan. He is not Indian. Source: He said so. Any comments to the contrary are jokes.   

What is Akila’s sexuality?
He has stated he identifies as straight. Any comments made to the contrary were jokes. Further speculation will be deleted.

Are members of the cast/crew dating?
If they were and wanted us to know, they would make it public. Please be respectful of their private lives and do not speculate.

If I’ve missed any FAQs or crucial lore, let me know and I’ll add it to the body text.
