Description

Jason Genova, the piss lord. Jason is a YouTube famous member of the Delray Misfits. A group of weirdos who work out at World Gym in Delray, Florida. Jason hangs out with the other Misfits and performs periodic ego lifts with bad form. He also competes every now and then in local bodybuilding shows where he has yet to diet down to a respectable level. Although Jason has some decent genetics for strength, he completely lacks discipline. Genova is known for calling an “order 66” on anybody he doesn’t like. This basically means he’s asking his troll army to harass somebody Jason doesn’t like. Most famously he did this to Rich Piana - the attacks on social toward Rich and his girlfriend were intense and even included some website hacks on Rich’s supplement site. When Rich confronted Jason at a fitness expo, he asked him to slap box and then proceeded to slap the piss out of the piss lord…the video is like watching a gorilla tear apart a toy doll. Possibly a toy doll with Asperger’s syndrome. Jason clearly has some mental deficiencies but he continues in his quest to become rich and famous through social media. He either suffers from delusions of grandeur or he is legitimately mentally unstable. The fact that his intellectually normal friends seem to get a thrill out of trolling Jason is a little concerning, as the kid clearly has issues. In summer 2009, a chubby boy named Jason Genova uploads a video to YouTube called My Storie Part 1 where he proclaims his desire to become a pro bodybuilder. There seems to be something "off" about this young man, but nobody can quite put their finger on what. It's never explained why he calls himself "Jason Giovanni" in this video. His delusions and penchant for outrageous and unintentionally hilarious quotes make his videos a cult comedy hit. He and his crew (Jonas, Joey Joe Joe and Angel J) continue to upload My Story videos, Jason starts calling out pro bodybuilders, and going on impromptu rants against his "haters". The first major event that propels Jason to fame is when he calls out bodybuilder Mark Alvisi, earning him attention from PJ Braun, Aaron Singerman, Ron Harris, and Layne Norton. At this time, Genova is somewhat well known on bodybuilding.com's Misc forum but is pretty much unknown everywhere else. (My Storie Part 1) -Jason earns his first arch-rival in Josh Foxx, who used to work at the Gold's Gym frequented by Genova. He constantly mocks Genova for all of his obvious deficiencies. The feud spans a solid year culminating in Josh making a

mockumentary of Jason's "My Storie Part 1." Somewhat surprisingly, Josh Foxx receives an overwhelmingly negative response to this video, proving that Genova's Witnesses may enjoy poking fun at Jason, but deep down they are also protective of him from skinny haters like Josh Foxx. This is the beginning of the "no one is allowed to call Jason a retard except us" mentality adopted by his fans. (Josh Foxx's parody video) -Jason claims that he competed in a bodybuilding show and took 3rd place in it, and he shows off his 3rd place medal on video. However, one viewer claims to have checked the record of the bodybuilding show that was named and didn't find Jason listed as one of the competitors. What's more, another viewer notices that Jason's medal does not actually say 3rd but rather '03, suggesting that it denotes the year 2003. -Jason appears on a radio show with Aaron Singerman. He relays a message from Lee Priest who calls Jason out, calling him "retarded" and expressing doubt about his claims that he knows science. This sparks Jason's first ever celebrity feud. Jason insists that he's not retarded and says that he is now coming out of the closet about being ADD, ODD, and dyslexia, comparing himself to Lou Ferrigno. PJ Braun also calls into the show, marking Jason's innocuous first meeting with his future crush "PeeJay." (Radio interview part 1) (Part 2) -People begin to seriously question whether Genova is for real or if he's just a brilliant Andy Kaufman-esque troll. He releases a video where he's in a gazebo and says that he's about to demonstrate a "crescent kick", a move he learned from the 80s. "Nobody knows about this technique but me." He runs up to the gazebo railing, does a little hop, then awkwardly kicks his legs up backwards. The self proclaimed "former semi-pro UFC fighter" also shows off his own invention, the "palm kick", where he kicks and punches simultaneously for a devastating double blow. Oh how I wish this video was still around, it was possibly the funniest one of all time. -A random man in the gym named Andrew agrees to film a brief cell phone video of Jason doing a set of leg press, but the relationship evolves to the point where Andrew gets roped into becoming Jason's regular camera man. He films videos of Jason working out in the gym rather than the documentary style My Story videos. Andrew's witty commentary and Jason's interactions with various members of the gym (many of whom are fascinating weirdos themselves) give the videos a strong sitcom style. It proves to be a winning formula and Genova's

infamy continues to grow. (First video with Andrew) -Even after Andrew becomes Jason's regular camera man, Jason and his old crew still occasionally release a new My Story installment, the newest ones being My Story Part 6 and My Story Part 7: Macho Man. The latter is quickly flagged and deleted by YouTube due to being inappropriate. Jason spends most of the video calling some girl with braces ugly ("I never wanna have kids with you, the kid will come out all ugly with braces on!"). He also mysteriously has a hillbilly accent for this one video. (My Story Part 7: Macho Man) -Jason competes in a bodybuilding show in West Palm Beach. The footage of Jason posing on stage looks hilariously similar to an episode of the comedy show, Workaholics, where the character Adam DeMamp competes in a bodybuilding show. An incident also occurs where Jason gets horny as fuck and chases a bikini figure model across the stage while she's doing her routine. (Jason Genova's legendary posing routine) -After finding out that Ron Harris has been mocking Jason, he calls out Ron for being on steroids. He even goes over to the Muscular Development forums and gets into a flame war with him, much to the amusement of all the spectators. Jason takes everything back, claiming that it was all "fun and games," possibly seeking a sponsorship from Gaspari Nutrition (who sponsor Ron). -One of Jason's biggest "fans", Gideon, makes the trip all the way from England to hang out with The Spaniard for a day. Andrew and Gideon film the famous video at Target and McDonald's where they indulge The Spaniard's delusions for a day and he first demonstrates his incredible proficiency at scarfing down fast food at record speeds. He looks at the camera and pleads with Skip LaCour (his first ever celebrity coath) not to be mad because it's just a one-time cheat meal. (The famous Target and McDonald's video) -Jason shows off his autographed Lou Ferrigno picture and claims that Lou is a big fan of his. After receiving criticism from fans for not knowing how to cook and eating the exact same three microwaved meals every day, The Iron Chef sets out to prove that he eats a wide variety of healthy foods and attempts to demonstrate by cooking some oatmeal. It becomes hilariously obvious that he has never cooked oatmeal in his life after he just sticks the dry oatmeal in the microwave without adding water and ends up burning it. (The oatmeal burning video)

-Jason trains (for free of course) with Skip LaCour, who previously had only given Jason coathing online and by phone. He gives Jason solid advice, diet and nutrition plans, and free personal training, all of which Jason ignores. (Video with Coath Skip) -Jason actually meets up with his former nemesis Ron Harris. Jason trains with and receives advice from Ron, all of which he promptly ignores. (Video with Ron Harris) -Jason competes in the "Abz of Adoniss" show at about 16% body fat, claiming to finish in 2nd place out of 3 competitors; the guy he finished ahead of had a torn bicep. In the post contest interview conducted by Andrew, the backwardsshirt-wearing Jason says that he did not expect to face such strong competition. When Andrew tells Jason that he should have expected to face competitors with good physiques at a bodybuilding show, Jason says his now legendary quote: "Yeah but sometimes nobody shows up and you automatically win." (Postcontest interview) -Jason and Andrew arrive at Delray Fitness early in the morning to film their usual workout video, but the employee who unlocks the door hasn't shown up yet. They instead head over to 24 Hour Fitness, and Jason reads a letter on camera from a fan with a cuckolding fetish who wants his girlfriend to live with Jason for a while. They get kicked out of the gym for filming, and Andrew actually has his membership terminated. (The 24 Hour Fitness video) -The alpha wolf of Delray Fitness, Big Richard, threatens to kill Jason and dump his body in the Everglades because he had been talking dirty to his daughter over Facebook the night before. Jason shrinks away and claims that he had no idea who the girl was. The next day, Jason arrives at the gym one hour late, conveniently after Big Richard has left, denies that he's avoiding Big Richard, and keeps showing up to the gym late, claiming that his alarm clock didn't go off. Eventually, Jason and Big Richard meet again and the two make up. Big Richard even offers to help Jason find a girl on Plenty Of Fish who'll suck his dick. (Big Richard expresses his displeasure at Genova)...
