It has been more than a year since Jeff Hicks of World Class Bullshitters dubbed Bryon Lape as Channel Dad. At first, the title was given along side being the Fifth Bullshitter, until Star Wars Celebration in Chicago. The latter title was passed to someone else and Channel Dad Bryon Lape became the only moniker.
While at Star Wars Celebration in Chicago, Channel Dad Bryon Lape met several others within the Fandom Menace, namely, Jeremy of Geeks+Gamers, Ethan Van Sciver, Anna That Star Wars Girl, Jessi Milestone of Mindless Entertainment, and the unforgettable Andy From The UK From The UK. Many ideas were branded about and it seemed as though Channel Dad would perhaps make an appearance from time to time on these other channels. Alas, none of that came to be. Throughout 2018, Channel Dad appeared nowhere else. What about sending a superchat during The High Council? Bryon Lape tried that as himself and as the Fan Caste. There was zero reaction from anyone. A video about rumors stating the MCU Cast hated Brie Larson's Captain Marvel hit over half a million views and still no shout out, no congratulations, no nothing. Other Fandom Menace channels started and would get some kind of call out. Channel Dad started to feel rejected.
During the summer, several people on Twitter started to collect a list of all the Fandom Menace channels. No first or second list included Bryon Lape's YouTube nor BitChute channels. Channel Dad Bryon Lape is OG Fandom Menace. He disliked The Force Awakens and uploaded a "The Force Awakens Sucks" video on 24 December 2015. It is through this video he found World Class Bullshitters and eventually Geeks+Gamers. Bryon Lape didn't need to wait for The Last Jedi to be released to know Disney Star Wars was bad and yet, there was no recognition from the Johnny Come Latelies. After many tweets trying to get on the Fandom Menace Channel list, Bryon Lape was added, but with no increase in traffic. He was quite dejected.
The latter half of the year was one of soul searching for Bryon Lape. He would learn the World Class Bullshitters needed him to drive them or be a part of a convention by listening to the program, not by being contacted directly. He was confused about the nature of the relationship and wondered if he really wanted to continue. A day after the Rise of Skywalker livestream, Bryon Lape decided he was going to stop trying to be a part of a group that didn't want him and announce he was leaving the Fandom Menace. How to do this? What should the video be called? It is not that he dislikes most of the people in the Fandom Menace and he does applaud their success, but being rejected repeatedly hurt and he wasn't sure what exactly to make of it.
Then he had a realization.
Jeff Hicks had correctly titled Bryon Lape as Channel Dad. This was not only his titled in conjunction of being with the World Class Bullshitters. Bryon Lape is Channel Dad to all of the Fandom Menace. But what did being Channel Dad mean? Quite simple. It means you help others to be more successful than you. It means you drive them to practice so they can perform on game day. It means being on the sidelines and being supportive. Bryon Lape is Channel Dad Of The Fandom Menace and he likes it.
