The OfflineTV member spent the initial moments of his recent livestream interacting with his fans. He shared his thoughts about admiring "someone egotistical," and stated:

"So it's weird, like, seeing like, someone you admire be like, egotistical, and it made me understand why a lot of my haters used to be big fans. Most of my haters are like my biggest fans because they comment on everything. Every YouTube video, every tweet. They're in chat all the time."

Disguised Toast said fans claimed that he had become egotistical. He stated that he understood the sentiments since he "felt the same way" towards The Rock:

"One very common thing I see is like, 'Oh, I used to like Toast, but he became egotistical.' And I never really understood that until now. Because I feel the same way towards The Rock. Like, The Rock, like, I practiced 'The Rock Eyebrow,' too. When I was a kid, I stood in front of the mirror when I was like, 12 years old and I trained myself to do that eyebrow."

"I was a huge Rock fan. But recently with his like, Black Adam movie, like, 'Hey, Rock, you've kind of got a big ego. I don't know if I like that.' And it's what I went through because when I started in Hearthstone, I was super... super nice and polite."

The conversation concluded with Disguised Toast recalling an interaction he had with a World of Warcraft player, who said:

"I was playing World of Warcraft off-stream and I got into this random group of like, just random PUG (Pick-up Group), and at the end of it, right before my healer left, he said, 'Toast, I used to like you more when you had the mask on.' And he leaves the group and Hearthstone's out. And I'm like, 'Bro! I'm not even streaming!' I'm catching strays on my off-day, playing World of Warcraft!"
