Short monologue by creator Dylan Vanas arguing that regularly playing video games (especially as a first response to stress) prevents personal success and self-improvement. The speaker contrasts gaming with activities like exercise, healthy eating, relationship-building, and frames gaming as a sign the listener is not maximizing health, wealth, or relationships.

If you have a video game app on your phone, there's a good chance you'll never be successful. Here's why. People that spend their time playing video games, those are the people that don't make it anywhere in life. Every single person I've said this to, they say, dylan, I play video games to de stress and relax. Why do you hate on me for doing this? At the end of a hard day? Did you go to the gym? Did you eat a healthy meal? Did you work on yourself? Did you spend time with your significant other and build your relationship? What was the first thing you did when you came home or you felt a little stressed? You reach for the video game either on your phone or your PlayStation. If you are someone who has maximized all areas of your life, health, wealth, relationships, and you want to play video games at the very, very end, okay, that's okay. But I can guarantee for those of you that have video games, that's your first thing you reach to. You're not maximizing every area of your life. And if you're getting mad right now, you're getting frustrated, check yourself, because this is true. You're not growing, you're not improving yourself. That's the hard truth.
